It's an open secret that the unique and complex blend of instruments that typify classic tango music give dancers many ripe opportunities for musical, expressive, and fun dancing.

In this seminar, Maestro Horacio Godoy will expound on the layers of music—the melody, the rhythm, the counter-melody, the links, and the bridges.

This seminar is ideal for both the casual social dancer as well as the expert tango DJ looking to hone their listening skills.

Horacio will provide suggestions for movement and interpretation by social dancers looking to expand their dance repertoire and vocabulary. Horacio will also be providing the cultural and historical context for many of the tango songs played that lead to better, more expressive, more sense-focused, more genuine, more “conscious” tango dancing.
