Syncopation moves the stress away from the expected beat and creates exactly the tension that drives tango music. In the sound of the orchestras it is everywhere; in the dance it often goes unused.
This workshop opens the second weekend and lays the ground for everything that follows: hearing syncopations reliably, preparing them in the body and dancing them at the right moment — without losing the basic pulse.
What you take home
A secure feeling for the accent between the beats and the ability to use it on purpose instead of hitting it by chance.
