Tango Movement (8:15-9:30) with Kay Ottinger
Tango is a dance of individual expression as much as it is a shared experience. This dimension is often overlooked as we acquire phrases, steps and technique. This workshop will rewind the process and explore the origin of dance movement within the body. A series of kinesthetic exercises will create a greater personal awareness before we arrive to work with a partner. This will result in a “tango feeling” that is a personal, authentic and compelling. (Pre-Int+)
