Workshops

Dalcroze Musicality for Tango dancers

Using the Dalcroze methodology, we will introduce ourselves to different aspects of music in general and tango in particular, using different activities around movement. Musical phrases, intentions, dynamics, rhythmic patterns, tempos, textures, rhythm and the approach of the melody, both the so-called rhythmic melody and the lyrical melody. The Dalcroze method works first through movement, and then thinking about what was worked on, naming and describing each thing previously worked on, and building together a rational concept. All activities work on playful and effective skills to listen better and to build a movement closer to music.

Level: all levels
