What's the fastest way to progress in tango?
Candela Ramos, a tango teacher from Argentina, will share a pedagogy grounded in the body, letting its intelligence guide movement and reconnect you with a natural way of dancing.
This Saturday, we open a Tango Sensaciones circle focused on
listening to the body.
Candela Ramos’ students progress at remarkable speed, and she points to something simple, and often overlooked: our inner sense.
Here’s what she says:
I work with people who have only recently started dancing or moving, and I don’t introduce things from a place of copying. Of course, there are moments when we copy, and sometimes we need a model, but I focus a lot on exercises that help them identify sensations within their own bodies.
It’s striking, because even though they don’t always understand what’s happening, they begin to feel a new availability in their movement. They progress much faster in their tango learning. It’s amazing to witness the speed of their development.
I believe somatic education should include this process of self-knowing: developing proprioception, sensing where your body is and where your axis is. Ultimately, you understand better than anyone whether you are on your axis, whether you are falling, and what you need.
This Saturday, we put this into practice.
Less copying. More sensing. Faster learning.
Join us.
Saturday, April 25
