Good day to you kind people!

I’m currently in Leeds, working with a dance company here rehearsing a show that will premier on the 1^st of May.  But Monica is still in London, and this weekend she is running a workshop especially for tango dancing ladies, together with a special guest!

 

These workshops are vital for women who want to feel confident and stylish whilst dancing, and most importantly, feel liberated by the self expression Monica teaches followers to contribute to the dance:

 

Follower's technique with Monica Lopez and guest teacher MAIA URQUIOLA:

ASSOCIATIONS AND DISSOCIATIONS

 Where: The Room, 33 Holcombe Rd, Tottenham Hale, N17 9AS

When: 3-6pm Sunday 21st March

Cost: £30

To book please contact Monica on 07736299220 or by email at myanezlopez@gmail.com

 

In this class we are extremely pleased to welcome back to London the wonderful tango dancer and teacher Maia Urquiola.  Maia is a committed leader and follower of tango.. She has been teaching since 2006 in cities such as Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Berlin, Montreal and of course London. Her influences include Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa, Pablo Inza, Pablo Villarraza and Dana Frigoli, Maria Mondino and Ismael Ludman, Sebastian de la Vallina.

 

The first past of the workshop will focus on crucial relationships that exist between different parts of our body.  This is the key to make our dance more comfortable and clear. In the second half of the workshop we will work on several exercises to understand and improve the dissociation of our central axis, allowing effortless pivots, a strong connection with your partner, and close embrace dancing.

Most importantly, you will explore how to express and develop your personality in the dance.

 

Through out the workshop we will maintain an awareness of:

·         Posture and balance.

·         Connection with the leader.

·         The importance of the music.

 Bring comfortable clothing and socks or soft shoes as well as your tango shoes.
