Giros, also known as molinetes or turns, are among the most important and technically challenging structures in Argentine Tango, particularly for followers. This weekend intensive accelerates your progress to a solid intermediate level, providing you with the clarity, control, and confidence needed to lead, follow, and integrate giros naturally on the dance floor.
What You Will Work On:
Core technical elements include: structure and biomechanics of the molinete, timing and precision with weight changes, distinctions between close and open embrace, developing an independent axis for balance and control, mastering medio giro and continuous turns, and learning the giro 8-position system. You will also explore integration techniques with sacadas, barridas, ganchos, paradas, cosidas, and patadas. Musical interpretation rounds out the bootcamp, teaching you to recognize and utilize musical opportunities in your dancing.
Class Format:
This fast-paced, progressive bootcamp includes a short review of Tango Essentials templates, clear explanations using the Tango BioKinetics Method, and extensive practice with personalized corrections for each student.
