"The dancers body is simply the luminous manifestation of their soul. This is the truly creative dancer, natural but not imitative, speaking in movement out of self and out of something greater than all selves"

LEADING LADIES - A SATURDAY WORKSHOP
with Steve Morrall on 26 May 

Steve is running a small group workshop for ladies who want a foundation in the technique required to dance the man's role with musicality.
His teaching style offers an alternative to the simplistic notion of 'lead and follow' in tango. At Tango UK, we teach that the process is much more about invitation and repsonse. It is a form of non-verbal creative dialogue and like any conversation it requires context, articulation, eloquence, expression and knowing when to 'speak' and when to 'listen' to make it understandable.
The benefits of these two 90 minute sessions are two-fold. You can learn how to 'talk tango' in the man's role (what other people would call 'leading'), and you can also gain confidence when dancing in the woman's role through an increased awareness of what the man is (or isn't) doing. BOOKING

Tango is about sharing 

To help reduce our carbon footprint, we will reward any driver who brings additional passengers in his/her car with an additional loyalty stamp for every passenger.

A loyalty card filled with 10 stamps can be redeemed for the price of a milonga entry. Steve and Debbie recommend www.liftshare.org to coordinate the sharing of car journeys and cut costs.

After joining this free service, members simply register their journey and the system lists all potential matching journeys. The matches are displayed in both table and map format, allowing the user to easily find the most suitable people. Having found a match the user simply sends an automated email to any likely matches and arranges to travel together.

Every Thursday night, and on special weekend dates, Steve Morrall teaches an advanced musicality class in the dance studio

The art of the tango DJ

Playing tango music at a milonga is not simply a case of playing ad hoc CDs or putting on a bunch of MP3s.

A tango DJ needs to know his music and prepare a music plan for the evening that follows a dynamic curve. Start simply, build the complexity and excitement and then slowly bring the dancers back down to reality.

Play music to balance the three genres of tango, vals and milonga in 'tandas' - groups of three similar tracks so dancers can invite each other for the first track knowing that the next two will be similar.

Tandas are separated by a 'cortina' (curtain) to signify a change of orchestra/genre. You can explore a four hour playlist created by Steve Morrall here: SPOTIFY
