April 14 @ 12:00 pm - 3:30 pm EDT
VAIVENES is a 3-hour workshop is taught by Simonida Cekovic-Vuletic & Svetislav Vuletic, TangoAffair
- Join us as we delve into the enchanting world of vaivenes, those walking steps with subtle swinging movements that infuse the dance with passion, rhythm, and connection. From the gentle sway of the body to the intricate shifts in weight, you’ll discover how vaivenes breathe life into your dance, shaping the unique character of tango. Learn to seamlessly integrate vaivenes into your movements with grace and precision. Enhance your musicality by mastering the art of interpreting rhythms, melodies, and phrasing through dynamic variations. Practice leading and following with sensitivity and responsiveness, deepening your connection with your dance partner. Finally, use the vaivenes you’ll learn to explore the possibilities of improvisation and creativity in your dance. This special 3-hour workshop is designed for seasoned intermediate/advanced dancers, but all dancers can benefit from the material covered in the class.
