Before you start

Is it for you?The intermediate and advanced levels

You already have a foundation

You have mastered the walk, the embrace, ochos and the simple turn without losing your axis, and you move confidently at a práctica.

You want to improvise

We do not pile up steps: we build modules that you can link according to the music and the traffic on the dance floor.

You are missing a group

We are forming the Alicante group: in the meantime, private classes and workshops according to your level.

The programme

A programme based on skills, not figures

Short exercises, immediate musical application and individual correction: each sequence grows out of technique and is tested through improvisation.

01

Axis, dissociation and pivot

Effortless weight changes, an organised torso and hips, stable and silent turns.

02

Technique by role

For the leader, clear intention and elastic marking; for the follower, clean collection, projection and active axes.

03

Embellishments with judgement

Caricias, planeos, amagues, lápices and low boleos, without blocking your partner or invading the line of dance.

04

Orchestras and rhythms

The rhythm of D’Arienzo, the line of Di Sarli, the phrasing of Troilo and the drama of Pugliese; milonga lisa and con traspié, vals in 3/4.

Read more about the intermediate and advanced levels

From steps to improvisation

At intermediate and advanced levels we stop learning isolated figures and build a dance of our own. We work on technical modules that combine according to the music, the size of the dance floor and your partner: that way you improvise at the milonga without going blank.

Intermediate: consolidate

Clean turns and pivots, ochos with real dissociation, functional embellishments and a first reading of the orchestras. The goal is to dance comfortably and musically on any dance floor in Alicante.

Advanced: refine

Speed with control, enrosques, sacadas, volcadas and colgadas in their social version, small spaces and the interpretation of each orchestra, from D’Arienzo to Pugliese.

While the group is being formed

We are gathering experienced dancers to open a group in Alicante. In the meantime, you progress with private classes and workshops on technique, milonga or vals. In Elche and El Campello, if several of you have experience, we open a class for your level in the hour after the starter group. Write to us and we will let you know as soon as there is a date.

Questions

Questions about intermediate and advanced tango classes

Can’t find your answer? Write to us or call us, we reply the same day.

Do you work on women’s and men’s technique?

Yes: we address what is specific to each role, without stereotypes, with clear exercises and time for embellishments.

Do I need a regular partner?

No. We rotate and balance the roles; coming as a couple is also welcome.

What is the difference between intermediate and advanced?

At intermediate level we consolidate turns and pivots, functional embellishments, guided improvisation and musicality; at advanced level the complexity increases: speed with control, enrosques, small spaces and interpretation of the orchestra.

When does the group open?

We are forming a group in Alicante. Write to us and we will let you know as soon as there is a date; in the meantime, you can progress with private classes or workshops.

Can I combine it with private classes?

Yes: combining workshops and private classes helps you work on turns, embellishments and musical reading.

Do you work on volcadas and colgadas?

Yes, in their social version and safely, only when the line of dance allows it.
