Musicality Essentials with Jennifer Jaymes
Join World Embrace Tango for a 4-week series introducing you to tango’s foundational musical qualities and how they are used to interpret the most quintessential orchestras that define the golden age of tango.
I wholeheartedly believe that the most important tools for connection, quality, technique and personal artistic expression exist right there for us inside the music. This intensive seminar will provide you with essential tools for identifying, understanding, and expressing yourself to the tango music, marrying this with fundamental skills needed to execute melodic, rhythmic and dramatic techniques in your body. We’ll use these qualities to interpret the music we hear, unlocking limitless potential and possibilities on the dance floor! It’s one thing to hear the elements, it’s another to understand that different techniques are required to create a dynamic and contrasting dance that’s both felt and seen.
Learn the quintessential sounds that distinguish each orchestra from another. Learn the history that gives our movement context. Put the most important tools for each quality into your body with focused exercises that reinforce muscle memory. Discover how to interpret the music as an artist, with strategic insight into the orchestra, their musical structure and their individual styles. Gain qualities, as well as sequences, that are directly translatable to your social dance.
This series will give you tools to speak music as common language in a social setting and freedom to express the dancer within!
Class will occur on Tuesday evenings in November (4, 11, 18, 25).
7-8:30pm with a half hour practica afterwards, music focused on the musical quantity studied that evening.
