Mastering Giros with Sacadas, Embellishments & more with Veronica Toumanova, Silvia Bivolaru and Winston Veerender.
Giros are probably the most complex and versatile figures of Argentine tango. They come in different styles and flavors, use different dynamics and can be danced both in open and close embrace. We can talk about “salon” giros and “milonguero” giros, as well as giros in tango, vals and milonga. When you watch people in a milonga, you will probably notice that nowadays social tango is even more about turning than it is about walking.
In this course we will work on “salon” giros for tango rythm, using half-open or closed embrace. Giros are difficult technically and in terms of musicality, requiring a firm mastery from both leaders and followers who very much depend on each other for a smooth turn, as even the slightest mistake affects the whole couple. We will look into the giro step structure (the so-called “giro code”), its rythmic structure, entry and exit points as well as how to maintain the flow. Giros are very much about geometry and changing your orientation in space, which makes them truly challenging.
We will also work on sacadas (leaders and followers) and dedicate some time to the typical “salon” embellishments (enrosques for the leaders and paradas for the followers). At the end of this course you will have a rich understanding of the giro as one of the major elements of Argentine Tango.

New Tango Orchestras & Conductors Talks
Mariano has been using his time in lockdown to prepare his New Tango Orchestras & Conductors Talks which he has chosen to share for free as a way of doing his bit to keep the tango community minds active and spirits high.
Just register by clicking the registration links below to get your access links and join in.
In these talks we will explain and identify the fundamental musical, rhythmical & expressive elements often used by the conductors & orchestras to create their own unique style and we’ll explore some personal, aesthetic, social and historical aspects that made them part of the history of tango.
After these talks you will be able to recognise some musical and stylistic aspects of the greatest tango orchestras, get some useful information about their history and understand a bit of the social, personal and historical context where they develop their style.
This round of talks is free and you can help us in return by:
‘Liking’ Mariano’s Tango Music Coach page.

Tango-Holiday in a Historical Castle
September 6-13
The romantic Castello San Sebastiano da Po is set on a forested hill in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, a 45 minutes drive from Turin. The estate was cautiously renovated retaining its vintage charms. You can easily imagine being back in the 17th century, surrounded by neo-classical buildings, masonic symbols and spacious gardens. The only thing missing is a ghost, but maybe we can conjure the spirits of Di Sarli, Pugliese and Canaro!
More information: https://www.tangodesalon.de/tango-holidays
Photos of the castle can be found here.
Contact us: tango@tangodesalon.de
CORONA INFORMATION:
The size of the group and of the dance space will allow for social distancing, if necessary and wished. Also, all participants book with a partner, so there will be no change of partners during classes. Every couple stays in its own apartment, so you can even choose to prepare your own meals, in case you want to minimize exposure.
Save the world heritage Argentine Tango in Germany!
Please sign our petition, that aims for better working conditions and financial security for tango professionals, not only in this crisis, but also in the future.
One major demand is e.g. to accept tango professionals into the “Künstler Sozial Kasse” (social security insurance for artists). In Germany, tango is defined as sport, not as art, and therefore only very few tango teachers, djs, dancers have access to this system. Once completed, the petition will be sent to all relevant ministries and decision makers in Germany.

I am looking for couples who would like to share with me about their tango journey, their challenges that they faced along the way and how they overcame it. You are an inspirational examples to others as well as valuable resources. Let me know if any of you are up for it. Or perhaps you know a couple who would be up for it.

Tango On Focus for leaders & followers at TangOnline by TANGart Athens
Sometimes we believe that we cannot develop our tango if we don’t have a partner. That’s not true!
In fact, there are a lot we need to explore alone in order to become an asset in the embrace of our partners. Considering the 4-dimension connection we need to achieve during dancing (connection to our partner, the music, our body and our floor), we shouldn’t lose time and grab the opportunity to study alone, at home!
TangOn focus Online course is a highly technical class with accurate thinking, deep body observation and smart tools to self-improve your tango, studying the possibilities and limitations of the body, as well as the natural forces we deal with while dancing; focusing on the fundamentals in detail while at the same time referring to examples of popular figures (voleos, sacadas, colgadas etc) to help us to apply what we learned.
