Tango Obsession Continues 2025

Tango Maestra Fernanda Ghi will be returning to Rochester NY to teach both private lessons and workshops. She will teaching concepts and applications of Upper dissociation and Lower dissociation - the use of different parts of the body in separate yet coordinated ways, each with its own purpose and influence on the communication of, execution of, and the elegance produced, within the tango partnership.

There will be two workshops on May 24, each two hours long. Workshop 1 is open to all levels of dancers. Workshop 1 is $55. Workshop 2 will build upon the concepts and materials covered in Workshop 1. Dancers who wish to attend Workshop 2 are required to attend Workshop 1. Workshop 2 cannot be taken in isolation. Workshop 2 is for experienced dancers. Both Workshops are $100.

Private lessons will be available on May 23 & May 25 for $110/hr. The number of lessons available is limited, so please reach out as soon as possible.

From Fer:
"Dissociation in tango means different parts of the body move independently, yet in coordination. This allows the dancer to maintain balance, execute pivots, and create elegant lines without unnecessary tension. Upper body dissociation involves movement of the torso separate from that of the hips and legs; this is essential for clear communication without disrupting alignment of the lower body. Lower body dissociation refers to the opposite where the hips and legs move independently. This is used to create contrast, embellishments, and quick footwork while maintaining stability.
Dissociation is important for communication in both roles, balance, sharpness, elegance, and prevention of over-rotation. Mastering dissociation is fundamental to dancing tango with precision, musicality, and deep connection"
