Hello all! We are super excited to announce that the fabulous Dominic Bridge will be swinging through Charlotte next week!
Dominic will stage a TANGO WEDNESDAY TAKEOVER and also offer a special Thursday evening workshop! Three classes in total!
The theme is "FREE LEG FREEDOM!" These classes will explore the mechanics of the free leg in walking, pivots, and culminating in SOCIAL BOLEOS!
IMPORTANT: These classes are PROGRESSIVE, which means they build on each other. Anyone, even total beginners, can take Class 1. But if you want to take Class 2, you must also have taken Class 1. And if you want to take Class 3, you must also have taken Classes 1 and 2.
Cost: $25 for each class. $15 additional for the practica. $80 for everything, and $70 for all three classes. Pay at the door.
In addition, Dominic will be available for private lessons on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning during the day. Contact me for details!
Class 1: Free Leg Freedom
Biomechanics and drills to understand basic tango forms. Focus on leading and maneuvering the free leg in particular, enhancing fluidity and control. Setting the stage for more advanced movements.
Class 2: Rotational Mastery
Deepen your understanding of ochos and pivots to build both strong or effortless movements, paving the way for seamless boleos, ganchos, and more.
Class 3: Social Boleos in Action
Bring it all together as we explore and practice basic boleos, ensuring they’re elegant and effective on the social dance floor.
Finally, the weekend of Nov 7-9, Dominic will be leading a series of workshops in Asheville organized by Mike Eblen! If you like what you're getting with Dominic's classes in Charlotte, consider heading up to Asheville to study with him more! There will be a milonga on Saturday, November 8 in Asheville as well.
