COURS HEBDOMADAIRES: LES MARDIS MIDI DE TANGO AUX ADEM

What is Argentinian tango?

Argentinian tango is an improvised dance which is danced in pairs. Born in the Rio de la Plata (Buenos Aires – Montevideo) region at the end of the nineteenth century during an influx of immigrants, today it is not only representative of porteño culture but has also spread the world over, attracting a continually growing number of devotees. The tango is a varied cultural universe: it expresses itself through different art forms. It is music, poetry and dance all at once, and those that enter this universe will approach these three forms of expression.

Midday Tango Tuesdays at ADEM (weekly)

Are you looking for a body-led approach to tango dance? Midday Tango Tuesdays are for you! I invite you to discover an intuitive way into Argentinian tango, through the body – its mechanisms, its sensations, its possibilities. The class begins with individual work on technique and ends with a period of collective practice. All levels – leaders & followers.

Monthly group courses + tango practice + free initiation

These workshops allow participants to discover tango through different facets, connecting the body, music and the history of tango. These are aimed as much at beginners as established dancers. Come solo or accompanied. Registration necessary.

The workshop is preceded by a free trial and followed by a period of guided practice, which sometimes involves the presence of musicians.

We continue with “The Music of Tango” as the theme for this year, which starts off with a section on listening and history and then continues with movement in line with the theme. Subscribe today!

Autumn themes 2020:

26 September: A CENTURY OF TANGO

Journey through the history of tango, from its birth to today. An overview of the evolution of music, dance and poetry.

​In this workshop, we will plunge into the history of tango, exploring a culture that has existed for over a century. A type of tango initiation in its multiple facets. Enriched with this knowledge, we will then dance, exploring the different styles of orchestras and dances.

31 October: Around the tango

Structure, phrases, rhythms

​By analysing a tango together, we invite you to understand how a piece builds in order to better prepare for the dance. Part theory with close listening, part practice through dance, but always with the same tango, which you will finish knowing off by heart.

21 November: LA MILONGA

Music and dance
Syncopated, in 2/4, "campera" and "criolla", "con traspié", the milonga possesses its own musical and physical language, which we will discover during this workshop.
