STAGE TANGO

The new series of Stage Tango Training and special Workshops will start in May 2022

By Martin Almiron, artistic director, choreographer, dancer and teacher

With collaboration of all STNYC staff

Purpose:

Prepare the dancers to perform Stage Tango individually or in a group.

Who can do this:

People with good body conditioning, any kind of dance experience and willing to express themselves artistically.

Description:

This is a two-hour per week intensive Stage Tango Seminar that includes body conditioning, tango technique and comprehensive material about the basic structure of Stage Tango Choreography, using a compilation of traditional tango elements, and applying them to music and performing on the stage.

The goal: 

Understanding how to build choreography by learning the basic vocabulary of stage tango, applying dance resources to music, and related elements. These elements will guide the student in building his or her own choreography.

The class format:

Every week, we will provide 

  • Body conditioning for dancers
  • Stage Tango Technique, 
  • Choreography elements (*)
  • We will build a routine applying those elements. 

(*) Every week, we will cover specific topics to be used in the 3 hours Choreography Challenge class (such as jumps and lifts, entrances, variaciones, adagios, ending, poses, etc)

What happens after?

We will build several choreographies with the ones who want to participate in our annual Showcase and  other dance opportunities produced by Sergio Segura and Strictly Tango NYC
