TANGO LAB with TOBY - Where musicality meets movement
At Tango Lab, we go beyond steps and sequences. Our focus is on developing your personal connection to the music, helping you dance with clarity, confidence, and authentic expression - whether you lead or follow.
Rather than memorizing patterns, you'll learn to move with purpose, inspired by tango’s rich rhythmic landscape and iconic orchestras. Together, we’ll deepen your musicality and expand your expressive range—one phrase at a time.
What You'll Learn
🎵 Master the 6 Classic Rhythms
Learn to clearly hear and respond to tango’s foundational pulse. These rhythms already live in the movement you know - we’ll help you bring them to life with greater precision and musicality.
🔁 Integrate Parallel & Cross Systems
Explore the core mechanics of tango: baldosa patterns, rotational movements, and system changes. These tools will enrich your vocabulary and unleash new creativity in your dancing.
🌊 Build Fluidity and Freedom
Develop a diverse repertoire that allows for more nuanced, expressive dancing—fluid, connected, and uniquely your own.
🎻 Dance to the Music of the Greats
Learn to interpret and move with confidence to the sounds of Di Sarli, D’Arienzo, Pugliese, and more - each with their distinct emotional and rhythmic flavor.
How It Works
🗓 Weekly Progression
Weeks 1 & 2: The Rhythmic Core
Discover tango’s 6 classic rhythms through the distinctive voices of two foundational orchestras. Build rhythmic clarity and confidence while exploring musicality and cadencia.
Weeks 3 & 4: Musical & Physical Nuance
Deepen your movement by weaving together parallel and cross systems with baldosa and rotation. If time allows, we’ll touch on more advanced sensations like the 3-3-2 rhythm and syncopa - subtle patterns found throughout tango music.
