Seminar — Musical Phrasing Immersion (Parts 1&2) ($70) Sunday 18 Jan 14:15-17:15 (3 hrs with breaks)

This extended seminar explores musical phrasing in tango through two complementary perspectives, giving dancers time to listen, absorb, and apply rather than skim the surface.

Part I: Smooth & Melodic Orchestras
Working with melodic orchestras such as Carlos Di Sarli and Miguel Caló, we focus on recognising longer musical phrases, shaping movement across musical sentences, and developing a calmer, more spacious way of dancing that follows the music rather than chasing it.

Part II: Rhythmic Orchestras
Shifting energy and texture, the second part turns to rhythmic orchestras such as Juan D’Arienzo and Ricardo Tanturi. Here we explore musical structure, accents, and repetition, learning how to stay rhythmically clear and musical without becoming busy or mechanical.

After this seminar, you will be able to:

Recognise and interpret musical phrasing in both melodic and rhythmic tango orchestras, make deliberate choices about when to move, when to wait, and how to shape your dance across musical phrases, and adapt that understanding confidently at any social milonga.
