Workshop instructed by Eva Zimet and hosted in SafeArt's Movement Studio - Altus Healing Arts, 292 Rt 110 Chelsea VT 05038, upstairs in the Mascoma Bank Building.

Social Tango is a dance of improvising together. It's intuitive collaboration and an encouraging way to learn about oneself and the other. Based on more combinations of walk, turn and hold than you ever thought possible, Tango is immediately do-able, and then limitless in possibilities. There are lead and follow roles, complete with a paradox: when the follower understands the movement, they become the leader by the simple act of moving, while the leader follows in order to offer the connection.

We change roles and partners throughout the class, and we practice some things individually before partnering. Gentle stability makes the best lead, and flexible connection make the best follow. Although the other way works, too! Come and see!
