One
weekend, in November 2003, saw more Tango
workshops held in the recently-refurbished
Orangery of Bylaugh
Hall in Norfolk.
Rodolfo
Aguerrodi and Miho Omaki led workshops
with a small group of local or
temporarily resident participants on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday - morning and
afternoon.
We
also visited the local milonga in
Norwich on the Friday night.

The first part of
the boleo workshops focused on exercises
to help followers to relax their legs and
to know how they felt when moving in
boleos:
|
| |
|
|
| |
Follower stands
upright alongside her leader, steadying
herself by putting her arms around his
shoulders.
Leader uses a hand
under his follower's horizontal thigh,
just above her knee, to support her
freely dangling leg:
|
|
|
| |
|
Leader gently
shakes his follower's relaxed calf and
foot from side to side ... ... and
back and forth ...
...
occasionally dropping it to test that it
is truly relaxed
|
| |
Follower stands
alongside, and at right angles to, the
back of a chair as support.
Leader, sitting on
her other side, uses a hand in front and
behind her vertical thigh, just above her
knee, to swing her dangling leg:
|
|
| |
|
Leader gently
swings his follower's relaxed thigh, calf
and foot back and forth ... ....
making her leg "fly" like a
swingboat ...
...
occasionally interrupting the backward
movement to get a gancho-like reaction
from her calf and foot
|
| |
We then practised
the pivot of a forward ocho using
widespread arms so the leader could
provide more energy to the pivot ...
|
|
|
| |
|
... with the
leader adding "servo-assistance"
to the pivot so follower's relaxed leg
flicks across in front of her weighted
leg, making thigh to thigh contact, ... ... which
interrupts its movement, causing her calf
and foot to flick up ton the other side
of her weighted leg ...
...
while the leader focuses on feeling the
flick's natural end-point before
reversing the pivot to bring her leg back
and down in front of her
|
| |
We then practised
this forward ocho with some pivots
enhanced by forward boleos and some not -
at random to avoid anticipation
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
We then practised
the pivot of a backward ocho in a similar
way...
|
|
|
| |
|
... completing the
normal 180 backward pivot gently then ... ... with
the leader adding "servo-assistance"
as he reverses the 180 pivot so
follower's relaxed calf and foot lift and
gradually fall again as this forward
pivot completes ...
...
before leading a gentle 180 backward
pivot to complete the backward ocho
|
| |
We then practised
this backward ocho with some pivots
enhanced by backward boleos and some not
- at random to avoid anticipation.

Then, a few days
later, we moved on to trying out these
moves:
