Grunnkurs

Er du nysgjerrig på argentinsk tango;
verdens vakreste pardans?

Tango Kristiansand er stolt over å kunne invitere til grunnkurs i argentinsk tango med instruktørene Camelia Siljedal og Luis Angel Rojas.

Kurset vil gå over 6 uker fra siste helg i januar til og med første helg i mars.

I grunnkurset kommer vi til å jobbe med grunnleggende elementer for å danse som et par; gå (caminata), omfavnelse (abrazo), kontakt/forbindelse med partner (connection), parallelt og krysset system. Alle disse elementene blir brukt i de ulike kombinasjonene innen den tradisjonelle argentinske tangoen.
