13:15-14:45 ⭐ Voleos for small spaces
Boleos, voleos… regardless spelling they attract everyone’s attention!
If you understand tango’s social aspect, you already know that not all voleos are for all spaces. It doesn’t mean though that we have to eliminate them from our improvisational possibilities in the milonga.
Come and expand your vocabulary of voleos, and learn how to tailor them depending on the size of the space you’re in. Finding greater ease in moments of musicality, creativity, and inspiration.
15:00-16:30 ⭐ The musicality and magic of Milonga
Learn to apply the different musicalities of milonga through some essential sequences that will move us on the dance floor.
Tap into the secrets of the many rhythmical possibilities of milonga and improve your comfort and creativity while you dance!
16:45-18:15 ⭐ Find the place to change the embrace
When it comes to steps that require opening or closing the embrace, it’s a moment where miscommunications can happen to anyone.
Set up your connection for success with this workshop, where we will work on recognizing where to change the embrace and how each partner can help to administrate a smooth transition!
Alejandro and Kelly will perform at Milonga Central (ÖTK Bäckerstraße 16, 1010 Wien) and our workshops’ participants receive a discount on the entrance fee (10€ instead of 15€). The milonga starts at 21:00.

13:00-14:30 ⭐ The Art of the Pause
We always like to say to our students: If you think you are pausing too much, you are just starting to pause enough!
Tango is a dance that encompasses the movements we do, don’t do, and each moment in between.
Pauses are one of our most useful tools in communicating and regulating energy in the milonga and in shows.
Some questions we’ll answer in this workshop are: When are the best times to pause? What are the best ways to suggest a pause? How can I better understand when it’s time to pause? And most importantly: What should I do when I’m pausing?
14:45-16:15 ⭐ Music & Movement
Let’s explore how we express our musicality by diving deep into two of the most popular classic tango orchestras: Canaro and Di Sarli.
If you think you already master them, you’d be surprised how much more is there to play with!
From rhythm to melody, we will explore the fundamental elements of tango music and musicality when we are dancing with a partner, and how to imprint our personality to its interpretation.
On the way to finding your own personal expression of how to dance when you hear these orchestras play, we will also share fascinating stories of some of tango’s most famous orchestra leaders, Francisco Canaro and Carlos Di Sarli, and the impact that they’ve had on the tango that we dance nowadays!
16:30-18:00 ⭐ Bringing Buenos Aires to you: Creativity in the smallest spaces
When a milonga is full, we don’t just want to survive. We also want to feel our connection, creativity, and musicality thrive!
Prepare your tango for the most crowded milongas in this specialized workshop.
Both roles will receive tips, tricks and methods that have been tried and tested in the most packed floors of Buenos Aires, as well as methods that allow you to practice for tight spaces in any práctica or studio.
