How to use musicality to get better dances

(without having to know a bunch of music theory)

LIVE Webinar - Friday, May 31

12:30-2 pm pacific time

 

People say that tango is HARD!

And they’re RIGHT! It takes so freakin long to actually enjoy it, it frustrates you to no end, and just when you think you kind of have it figured out you go to a milonga and it’s total crap! If you have the right kind of endurance, you can hang in there long enough that things start making sense.

But could the whole process be made a little easier?

Could you skip all of that confusion and hard work and just get to the good stuff where you are actually having fun (which is why you got into this thing in the first place?)

ABSOLUTELY!

You see, when you first start learning this dance, you get the impression that the key to dancing tango lies in learning beautiful patterns or be able to execute a movement perfectly. And surely both of these are aspects of dance, but they are not the key…

The key to dancing tango well is knowing how to express the music. If you know how to do that, you can have 3 moves under your belt and be able to dance with anyone in the room, regardless of their level.

The key to succeeding in social tango is having MUSICALITY.

This is because, at the highest level of social tango, musicality is what dancers are really interested in. They don’t care as much about technique, they care whether they can feel the music through their partner’s body (regardless of the movement!).

Think of musicality as your all-access VIP pass to the best social tango... around the world!

And in this class I will give you the essential (practical and immediately applicable) musicality tips that you need to become a popular, highly sought-after dancer at the milonga.

The sooner you understand how to use music to your advantage, the sooner you will start really having fun at the milonga.

In this webinar you will

  • get a basic overview of the tango musical styles and how to easily express them in your dance

  • learn how and what to listen for when expressing specific songs

  • begin recognizing the main tango orchestras and adapt your movement to express their styles

The tools I share in this online training will lead to…

  • better connection with your partner

  • more good quality dances at the milonga, and

  • more confidence on the dance floor

Don’t just take my word for it

 

I played with musicality the way you taught me, and each time I did it I got compliments on it from my partners

I am listening more carefully to the music and I am more familiar with more of the songs

“I am hearing more layers in the music now and have more options in what to dance to.” Jim, Los Angeles

This webinar is perfect for you if you:

  • are new to tango, know a little bit of vocabulary and know nothing about the music (you don’t even know why it’s such a big deal)

  • are bored with learning vocabulary and want to know how you can express what you feel in the music

  • have been dancing for a while but are still confused about musicality concepts and have been getting conflicting information

This webinar is NOT for you if you:

  • have already developed your musicality and are satisfied with your dance experience

  • don’t really care about traditional tango music and actually prefer to dance to alternative

  • really love to study patterns and musicality is not that high of a priority for you

  • are more interested in stage tango rather than social tango
