Workshops

Tango Cheshire runs regular workshops. These workshops are designed to enhance your connection to the floor, your connection to the music, and your connection to each other. Unless specified, our workshops are suitable for all levels (minimum 6 months experience) and are layered so that everybody develops no matter your experience.

Features of our workshops are:

  • Followers are given equal focus to develop and learn. Followers are not "just there so the leaders can learn a move".
  • In general, we look at topics that we do not teach in our regular classes.
  • Our mixed level workshops are layered so that the material gets more challenging as the workshop progresses. This means everyone will develop and can practice the material that fits their experience level.
  • We do not teach moves and sequences that only work with another person who attended the same workshop. We study ideas, technique, movements, and musicality that can be applied outside of the workshop.

Depending on the number of participants our workshops are held either in Prestbury Village Hall or at our Macclesfield studio.


Developing your Tango to the Next Level

Leaders Technique

Our next workshop, Leaders Technique, is on Saturday 27th July 2024.

Join us for two hours of workshop designed to develop leader skills, including:

  • Balance
  • Floor connection
  • Dissociation
  • Pivots
  • Enrosque movements

This workshop is open to all dancers regardless of your primary role. If following is your primary role, you will need flat shoes or shoes with a low heel.

No partner is required for this workshop. Primarily we will be exploring through solo exercise with some couple work.

This workshop is great preparation for the workshops we have coming up later in the year.

The workshop includes a natural break for refreshments, and these are included in the price.
