The essence of Argentine Tango lies in communication. The Fluid Open Role approach does not assign fixed roles to dancers, instead allowing and requiring both partners to initiate Tango moves and interpret the music.

The workshop will commence with fundamental techniques for communicating balance and movements in Tango. It is suitable for beginners unfamiliar with Tango, as well as experienced dancers seeking to learn the ‘opposite’ role, and anyone wishing to refine their Tango communication skills (even if not specifically interested in open role dancing).

Participants will explore the significance of maintaining a stable axis, mastering body control and tension, conveying clear intentions, employing simple communication techniques, and fostering empathy. These skills will be applicable not only to Tango but also to various aspects of life. We will delve into methods for honing and enhancing these skills through Tango practice.

Moving beyond basic Tango communication, the workshop will be examining how selected more intricate Tango movements can be communicated, aborted, played with and resumed. Participants will come to appreciate that every Tango movement is reversible and endlessly malleable. The focus will be on playfully exploring impulses and reactions, fostering creativity, and improvising in harmony with each other and the music.

Improvisation, passion, and musicality will take center stage in the exercises. Every communication encompasses imperfections, misunderstandings, and miscommunications – we will learn to embrace and enjoy these, to create a fun and enriching experience for everyone.

No partner is required as participants will rotate partners throughout the workshop. The session will be conducted in close embrace.
