Structure of Classes:
Every day the first class of each group will be dedicated to the study of a sequence, move, etc. while during the second class of the same day, that sequence/move will be analyzed and practiced more in depth from the point of view of its placement in the musical context.
Throughout the whole week particular attention will be given to what for Stefano and Alexandra consider the main ingredients of good Tango dancing: posture, embrace, connection with the partner and musicality.
