Workshops
with Maja
& Marko
1.
Technique for everybody:
Feeling and looking good
Feeling and looking good
All levels
We'll start from the head and work our way down to the feet discussing
some common problems and their solutions regarding balance, axis,
posture and embrace. The focus will be on finding the balance between
feeling comfortable on the inside and looking beautiful on the outside.
Why choose one when you can have both!
This lesson is intended for both leaders and followers. The students do not have to register in couple. Please bring both socks/ soft shoes and your regular milonga shoes.

2.
Taking a break: Paradas
All levels
Slowing down and making a pause is as important as speeding up and
moving continuously. One of the most beautiful movements to express a
pause is a parada. For a guaranteed customer satisfaction we shall
cover technique, variations, musicality and embellishments in paradas.
3.
D’Arienzo vs. Di Sarli
INT/ADV level
Here we'll discuss the main technical and musical differences between
dancing to two legendary tango orchestras. One is known for its
rhythmical character, the other for its wonderful melodies. We’ll take
standard tango elements and show you how to adjust them to express
the qualities of these two orchestras.
4.
Circularity in simple movements
All levels
You like how we dance but can’t exactly say why? One of the answers to
that question is in this lesson. Here we'll teach you how to smooth out
the edges on your everyday tango elements and make them soft and
round.
5.
Milonguero variations
INT/ADV level
In this lesson we’ll teach you 2 fun step combinations in close embrace,
perfect for interpreting the more rhythmic and/or energetic part of the
song (e.g. a variation). Both combinations can be easily adapted to any
amount of space which makes them great for (crowded) milongas.
Mood makers
We've carefully handpicked our DJs to ensure an unending flow of irresistible golden-age
melodies that will
effortlessly keep you tied to the dance floor.
Mood catcher
With her keen eye, our mood catcher will turn every smile, dance, and embrace into lasting memories.
Venue
The main events of Tango en Flor will take place at the iconic Hard Rock Cafe Podgorica, located in the heart of the city. All milongas and workshops are set in the upper level of HRC, a beautiful private area that offers views of the main city square.
Schedule
All milongas and worshops will take place on the upper floor of the Hard Rock Cafe.
