Tango
Look forward to another Milonga Challenge with Patricia & Matteo.
► Milonga Lisa – Stability and Flow
You’ll develop a solid foundation with a steady rhythm and fluid movement. This is what makes Milonga feel relaxed and easy to dance.
► Milonga Traspié – Rhythm and Vitality
Add expression and fun through musical accents and little rhythmic surprises.
► Danceable Combinations
The focus is on combinations that are easy to dance, as well as consciously switching between Lisa and Traspié to dance Milonga in time with the music.
There are two course groups with a maximum of 11 couples per group.
Group allocation is carried out by Patricia & Matteo.
Tango lessons
- 5 x 1.5-hour group lessons in ‘Milonga’
- 2 supervised practical sessions to consolidate what has been learnt
- Evening milongas
- Show performance by Patricia & Matteo
- 200 square metres of dance floor
Dancing experience
This trip is aimed at experienced dancers who wish to devote themselves intensively to the “Lisa & Traspié” milonga.
You have been dancing regularly for many years and are confident in both the parallel and crossed systems. Turns with a stable axis, pivots and ochos come naturally to you, and moving fluidly and mindfully within the ronda is part of your routine.
Patricia Hilliges & Matteo Panero leben in Florenz und unterrichten seit vielen Jahren auf unseren Reisen.
Sie tanzen einen eleganten Tango de Salon, den sie mit innovativen Elementen – fantasievoll und musikalisch passend – bereichern.
Patricia & Matteo unterrichten didaktisch erfahren mit viel Witz selbst anspruchsvolle Inhalte.
