Group Classes Alejandra Gutty • Tango Coaching® | Weekly Tango Training #99

THE EMBRACE | Distance and connection.

We study:

• The contact in the embrace: from texture to power.
• That the connection in the embrace doesn’t depend on distance: we challenge the idea that connection requires two bodies to be glued together.
• How to build a more articulated, flexible, powerful, and effective embrace.
• How to modify the distances of the embrace and adapt them to each moment.

Sequence/exercise:

Backward OCHOS, ‘sandwich’ and parada. During practice, we constantly modified the distances, passing through the three embraces from class #15.
The biggest challenge: BUILD the tango we want to see.

To train the planeos or embellishments in paradas, we recommend the C1 of Intensivos or the C4 of Adornos.

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