W3 · Tango style: cadencia, arrastre, fraseos

Saturday, 6. February · 15:30–17:00 · Saalbau Fechenheim - Saal

Three means of expression that make the difference between correct and beautiful.

Joaquín Amenábar

Tickets · 39.00 €

Cadencia, arrastre and fraseo are not figures but ways of colouring a movement. The cadencia is the sway that carries a movement. The arrastre draws the movement across the floor instead of placing it. The fraseo stretches and gathers time within a phrase — the way a singer shapes a line.

These three turn correctly danced steps into a style. The workshop practises them one by one and in combination, each with fitting music.

What you take home

A repertoire of expression that works regardless of your step vocabulary and makes your own dance recognisable at once.
