COLGADAS & VOLCADAS throughout tango structure and its principal figures.
Applying off-axis to get dynamic movement, fluidity and personal timing
From Gustavo and Giselle Anne:
“We perceive the inclination of the follower’s axis, as a tool. Tool, capable of bringing different dynamics to the dance apart from bringing action and risk.
Colgadas and Volcadas also solve a number of traditionally static situations of the tango dance, providing more harmony and continuity to the movement.
In this 12 hrs Intensive Seminar we will work on ‘how tos’ of manipulating follower’s axis in various steps and combination. We will analyze posture, arms, hips, resistance of the Leader, degrees of Follower‘s inclination, etc. to highlight your dance with new dynamics.” '

Figuras para el tango social
SATURDAY 10/19/2019, 4:30 - 6pm
Social Tango is nowadays popular worldwide as the most common and attractive way of tango dancing.
Since the social aspects of the tango are so important, we will work on specific steps that perfectly fit not only the style but also respect the ronda / navigation line to emphasize and support the correct codes, behavior and attitude embedded into social tango.
Sunday drop in workshop
Estructura del giro
SUNDAY 10/20/2019, 4:30 - 6pm
Traditionally, we have heard many times among milongueros statements like: 'the woman learns to dance tango when she learns to turn...'. Well... there must be some truth there, but let's be honest ... it sounds too absolute.
Let's paraphrase into: 'when we really want to learn to dance tango reasonably well, it seems quite necessary to study the turn as a basic foundation.'
Guardia vieja milongueros reacted by intuition. Today that is not enough. We need to understand the structure, the rhythm, the size of the steps, the way to execute the turns to really learn how to manage them...

Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne met in 1995 and formed a tango couple, bringing together their already-vast experience with the dance.
Together, they have successfully performed in the most important tango festivals around the world (throughout Asia, the Americas and Europe). They have also performed in the most typical milongas and theaters in Buenos Aires and abroad. Since 2003, they have been teaching in the “tango seminar” format, a method which they created to enable students to genuinely progress in their dance.
Gustavo Naveira deserves more credit for the resurgence and renewed popularity of tango (from the 1980s through today) than any other dancer /teacher /performer /choreographer. Since discovering the dance in the early 1980s, Gustavo has worked tirelessly to bring tango to new audiences, to evolve the dance to a higher level of technique and of structural complexity, and to develop a pedagogy that makes dancing tango at a better level possible for more people. He has also strived continuously to insure that further development of the dance be grounded in a solid historical foundation. For this reason, his dancing always has a classic look, even while he is executing the most modern and surprising steps. As early as 1999, the main Argentine newspaper Clarin stated, “you could say that three stylistic tendencies contend for supremacy [in tango]: Urquiza's style, Almagro's style and Naveira's style.”
Giselle Anne has demonstrated her abilities as a dancer and choreographer by performing in shows such as Tango Argentino, Tango Pasión, Mariano Mores, and Los Solistas de D'Arienzo. She has performed in America, Europe and Japan. During the five years of her residence in Spain (1992-1997), she worked intensely with tango, creating her own ballet, founding a school and inaugurating the “Casa del Tango” (Tango House) in Sevilla.
Now with 25 years of experience, the presence and solidity of her dance are balanced perfectly with the beauty of her movements, and this ensures that her dancing is always at the highest level.
