In this dynamic and fun series, we’ll explore tango elements where partners share balance, while staying comfortable, connected, and musical. We’ll focus on how trust, timing, and clear structure allow these movements to feel effortless and safe.
You’ll leave with practical tools to experiment with off-axis elements safely and creatively, adding a subtle new flavor to your social dancing without losing elegance or control.
