An invitation to work on your tango technique through anatomy, for greater relaxation and connection, with Laure Fourest.
TangoAnatomy focuses on in-depth work on the body in tango, using selected elements of anatomy. It's a space where we can discuss how we experience our bodies in dance, our pleasures and discomforts, our delights and pains, and explore solutions that will both prevent pain/discomfort and develop the technical, musical and relational qualities of our dance together.
This year, the workshop will focus on the link between our support and our abrazo, seeking to reconcile the upper half of our body with the lower half. We all experience varying degrees of tension in our shoulders and arms, which cut us off from the ground and can sometimes be painful for us and often uncomfortable for our partners. I'll be giving you some simple tools to help you relax and find the right balance between an abrazo too rigid and a too soft one.
This course will be of interest both to people who have taken the course in previous years, who will find it an in-depth follow-up, and to those who have never tackled this work before.
