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

Liberating dynamic energy

Our next workshop is on Saturday 25th January 2025. In this workshop we will be looking at how we can generate free dynamic energy in our dance whilst keeping it tamed not through blocking movement, but through evolving leading and following technique. Use unchained energy in your dance to create contrast and musical interpretation.

The workshop includes a natural break for refreshments.
