"Whether you’re casual about fitness or an accomplished athlete, learning to dance tango may tax unfamiliar parts of the body. And “tangospeak” can sound like a foreign language! Johanna and Megan have put together a class to help tangueras find their tango bodies, toe to head. Here's what we'll cover:
• How to use and protect your feet. Special “footsaver” exercise!
• What is meant by “core” and how does it work to establish “axis?”
• Your tango posture: How to find it and keep it pain-free.
• What is meant by “disassociation” and how do we make it happen?
• What about shoes and inserts?
This is the class that will help you take full advantage of followers' technique classes, visiting hotshot workshops and Tangofest!
No pre-registration required. Wear comfortable clothing. Bring a yoga mat or something else to lie on, and a water bottle. Bare feet or socks. If you have shoes you wonder about, bring them!
