Classes
with Daniel Canuti
After the interested on knowing
Tango had done the first classes, a normal class uses to be used
a part of it, to learn to dance as in the social places, on which
the main thing is to take care about our movements, nices and prudents,
in armony with the music - see activities as DJ-, and in this way
to enjoy the Tango, taking car of our partner and the others dancers,
respecting them, their spaces and the music, managing the space
on the dance floor correctly.
This way to dance, to embrace each other, to move, uses to be named
Milonguero, or Salón, or Apilado
or de Abrazo Cerrado, etc, even for some teachers and people
near to Tango, these terms can be in contradiction and for some
others no. The book titled Tango Danza Glossary is published and
is about the terminology in this dance and clarify all the terms
concerning Tango.
A part of the class is used also to learn what is known as Figuras,
which are in fact, the combinations of the differents elements and
steps we have in tango. In short words, how this dance works, which
is its mechanic and how it is structured this Tango that uses to
be called Abierto or so allowing us create more and more
sequences.
In any case, in a Tango class, what men and women learn is different,
except when they want (or fall into) choreografied movements for
show and exhibitions. Men needs to know how this dance works exactly,
and need to be able to preview any situation and what to do with
the body and the four legs (the leader must know and manage with
his legs and with his partner´s legs). The follower, must
know to walk properly, to keep good balance and equilibrium, to
know to wait and to interpretate the invitations of the man to the
following movements.
In some classes, when there is the chance and the interest I use
to show main parts from the videos I have, regarding Tango dance,
dancers, history, singers, orquestras, musicians, poets, etc.
Tango video-lecture and
Tango DJ
Furthermore, I have held several lectures about tango, inc. a 80
minutes video (extracted from my video collection of over 100 hours),
which shows a summary of the history of tango (dance, orchestras,
singers, etc.) and was supported during the film by my explanations.
When is required, is a pleasure for me to play music in milongas
or balls, and why not in some house just for the pleasure to listen
Tango, and a wine.
Just as a curiosity, I can play also with music from the Vinyl LP´s
(33 rpm). I have more than 150 LP´s from my family. For some
curious tango lovers, the sound and too see the covers can be interested.
Also I like to present some special
Tanda which I dedicate to same tango, orchestra or singer. I use
to write some comments about which are translated into the required
language and offered as a simple photocopy to the ones that are
interested.
