Technique workshop for both roles with Gaia and Evi: Giros and Soltadas SinglesGaia & Evi

Gaia and Evi invite you to a series of technique workshops that will span the entire year and address both roles. Through targeted and playful solo and partner exercises, you will achieve a deeper understanding of your body and build a technique that is organic and respectful of your own physicality. We will focus on control, strength, intention, and fluidity in posture and movement, as well as the development of your personal interpretation and musical sensitivity.

📅 July 13 – Giros and Soltadas

Part 1 (11:30–12:45): Turning Technique
We delve into the mechanics of turning – from stable axes and fluid pivots to conscious leading and following in circular movement. The goal is a clear and confident turn with solid communication.

Part 2 (13:15–14:30): Exploring the Embrace
How does the embrace shift as we move? We’ll explore how closeness and space can be used creatively in different dance situations – especially in the context of soltadas and more open interactions.

📅 August 24 – Vals: Flow in Circles and Acceleration

Part 1 (11:30–12:45): Vals Music
Learn to dance to the unique character of the Vals: we’ll listen for the “swing in 3/4 time” and practice moving with musical flow and rhythmic freedom.

Part 2 (13:15–14:30): Exploring Acceleration
This session focuses on changes in tempo: how can we build speed and then release it again? The emphasis is on quick weight shifts and maintaining control within dynamic flow.

📅 September 21 – Volcadas and Colgadas

Part 1 (11:30–12:45): Leaning into One Another
Volcadas require balance and trust. We’ll explore how leaning becomes a shared movement and develop sensitivity for mutual, stable axes.

Part 2 (13:15–14:30): Holding Each Other Confidently
Colgadas bring dynamism into the dance. This session is about letting go at the right moment – “holding without gripping” – and playing with balance and space between the partners.

📅 November 9 – Milonga Lisa and Traspie

Part 1 (11:30–12:45): Dancing Milonga Music with Ease
A relaxed approach to Milonga: we dance to the clarity of rhythm, discover simple, repeatable patterns, and bring lightness into the faster tempo.

Part 2 (13:15–14:30): The Traspie and Its Unique Flavor
Traspie is the playful soul of the Milonga. We’ll learn how to play with small steps and quick accents without losing balance – lively, precise, and musical.
