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 milonga:
|
| |
|
|
First we
practised our milonga walk:
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Then we
practised moving fluently in and out of
cross system:
|
|
| |
|
... pushing the
chest forward in small steps in which
chest, knee, and foot are aligned
vertically ... |
Then we
practised moving in and out of cross-system:
|
|
|
| |
|
... moving forward
on right leg ... ...
crossing left foot in behind partly-raised
right foot and moving forward on right
leg in one beat ...
...
moving forward on left leg ...
...
crossing right foot in behind partly-raised
left foot and moving forward on left leg
in one beat
|
We then
tried the above as a couple, discovering
that leading the follower in and out of
in-line crosses is difficult:
|
|
|
| |
|
... leader moves
in offset parallel, dissociated to
maintain connection with his follower ... ... as
leader moves forward on his right leg and
follower back on her left, leader must
turn his torso to bring his follower in
front of him and into the cross of right
on left as he crosses left behind right
...
...
leader dissociates on the next step by
turning his torso back to the right
moving his follower to his side as he
moves forward on his right leg and she
moves back on her left leg ...
...
leader's step forward on his left leg /
follower back on her right encourages
follower to cross left on front of right
as he crosses right behind left ...
...
etc.
|
We then
used the above, repeating leader's left
behind right / follower's right in front
of left or vice-versa to align with the
music; progressing forward:
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
We then
used the above, repeating leader's left
behind right / follower's right in front
of left or vice-versa to align with the
music inching to the side or slowly
turning anti-clockwise:
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
hen we
practised a "vibration" effect
in which we changed weight from one foot
to the other on the spot but very quickly:
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Finally
we enhanced the inching to the side
motion by inorporating the "vibration"
effect when the music encouraged that.
