A space dedicated to learning.

There are no airs and graces here at Gippsland Tango. We are all learning together, no matter where in the learning scale you are.

Talking the tango journey is no small thing, but here you get all the support and community you need.

Classes every Wednesday in Yarragon starting at 7pm. Super included.

This is what happens when the teacher is away.... The Cats go out to play.
Tango Esencia is a dance studio in Richmond that has a class and then milonga (social dance) on Wednesday evenings. This makes it the perfect opportunity to use our class time to expand our learning and practice.
So much fun.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

EL Volcado!

Learning this powerful, dynamic and sometimes rather subtle move takes a lot of precision, focus and communication between the partners.

This move is sometimes called 'the overturn' as the follower goes beyond the threshold of their partner and experiences a sense of falling or being suspended in space. The leader then needs to counter that and help draw them back to a place of balance.

It takes trust, precision and some guts to go for it. But when done right it looks fleeting, flowing and so natural the watcher may wonder 'just what did happen there'!

Tango is beautiful, rich, deep and layered dance.

We dance in Yarragon every Wednesday with one of the Australia's best teachers and dancer.

This is what a social dance, called a milonga, can look like. Very occasionally GT offers their own. This Friday we are having a practice-milonga. This gives participants a chance to practice their dance without the pressure of performance, in a milonga setting.
If you fancy a dance or just want to watch, you're welcome to join us.
Check out our event page with all the details.

Learning to follow.

The last video shared showed you the leaders learning their steps and how to offer this sequence. And now here it is, expressed through the follower.
The follower learn, not such to listen to the suggestion, but to imprint her own personality and interpretation of the movement.
It takes two to Tango afterall.

Learning tango is both a personal, individual journey as well as one we share with another.

Here's our leaders learning some cool steps to offer their followers.

Taught in the secret code of our teacher! πŸ˜‚
