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 third
workshop focused on linear sacadas:
|
| |
|
|
First we
heard that a sacada is a displacement of
an unweighted leg due to an obstacle
being in its path as it tries to move to
its next position:
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Then we
practised moving fluently in and out of
cross system:
|
|
| |
|
Starting in offset
parallel with leader to left of follower
... ... we moved until
leader's right foot was forward ...
...
then leader crossed left behind right,
moving right foot forward in one beat to
enter cross system ...
...
then leader stepped forward on left in
cross-system ...
..
then leader crossed right behind left,
moving left foot forward in one beat to
re-enter parallel system ...
...
repeating until we got it, or for several
tangos
|
| |
Then we tried an
exercise to rehearse the linear sacada
movement:
|
|
|
| |
|
Leader led a step
to the left on his left foot ... ...
leader closed right to left moving his
right foot forward into the mordita as
follower closed her left foot against her
right ...
...
leader took a short step back on his left
leg drawing his follower forward but
without weight onto her left leg ...
...
leader, while remaining facing forward
with his torso, dissociated so his hips
faced ~15 (angle determined by relative
position of follower's axis) to the right
and stepped - slightly diagonally - into
the space behind follower's left foot,
making thigh contact to displace her leg
...
...
leader stepped slightly diagonally to
close left to right with torso still
facing forward to maintain the linearity
of the move and with hips facing ~15
right
|
| |
We then walked in
offset parallel to a cross, without
stopping at the cross:
|
|
|
| |
|
... leader, while
remaining facing forward with his torso,
dissociated so his hips faced ~15 (angle
determined by relative position of
follower's axis) to the right and stepped
- slightly diagonally - into the space
behind follower's left foot, making thigh
contact to displace her left leg ... ..
