We Study + We practice = We Train.

About how we BUILD THE EMBRACE
Embrace — distance and connection.

Chest/back: the back as a place of power, ‘the little chest for embracing.’
Working on contact: from texture to power.

THE CONNECTION OF THE EMBRACE DOES NOT CHANGE WITH DISTANCE.

Connection is not about two bodies stuck together…

CHALLENGING PARADIGMS

Guidelines: articulate, mobilize.
Lead from the hand/dorsal connection.
Follow the impulses of the hand/back.

From this THOUGHT CONSTRUCTION, different forms of movement and embrace will emerge—not so block-like anymore, but more articulated, flexible, powerful, and surely more effective.
THE EMBRACE IS ALSO BUILT.

LET’S BUILD THE TANGO WE WANT TO SEE.

We put ‘all that’ into practice in a sequence with back ochos, sanguchito, and stop. Constantly shifting distances, clearly passing through ‘the three practice embraces’ from class Weekly Tango Training #15.

‘We do deliberated practice to master the task, not to finish it.’
