Fábrica Tango

Korey Ireland is coming back to Washington DC this Spring!

A former DC resident, Korey has a deep connection to our community and is always eager to share his knowledge of music and tango.

Join Masha and Korey for a weekend of dynamic, musical tango learning!

SATURDAY APRIL 13:

Workshop 1. Swooping Corridas - add rhythmic and lyrical spice to your dance. We will practice a very versatile and dynamic structure allowing followers to enliven the music in a compact space. We will explore connecting this move to other elements and to the music.

Workshop 2. Double-Double - movements with chained accelerations. We will build a toolkit of extended double-time dance possibilities for leaders and followers and use this as an opportunity to build our rhythmic awareness in music and dance.

SUNDAY APRIL 14:

Workshop 3. Troilo: Movement Playground and Musical Opportunities. We’ll bring the musical and movement ideas from Saturdays class to practice with fabulous tangos from Anibal Troilo’s orchestra in the early 40s. This music is energetic and changes often, allowing us lots of opportunities for dynamic/interactive dancing.

Workshop 4. Musical Dialogs. The interaction between leaders and followers in relation to the music. How can a dancer in each role reveal what inspires them in the music to their partner. Articulate, Aware, Connected dancing is super fun! 

Korey will also be teaching before Milonga Zandunga April 15th
Time: 9 PM - 10 PM.
Location: Capital Ballroom, 7800 Wisconsin Avenue (2nd Floor) MD 20814

Price: $20 (cash at the door)
