TangoBar and taught by Rodolfo Aguerrodi and Miho
Omaki in November 2003.
There
were two 3-hour sessions.

| Session
1 began with a group of floor exercises ... |
|
| |
First, we lay back and
stretched each side of our bodies in turn - left
arm stretched and left foot/toes pointing away
then right arm/leg
Second, we slowly lifted
our legs together so they pointed upwards,
holding this position for a few moments, then
slowly separating the legs as wide as possible
and holding for a few moments, then closing
slowly and holding, then lowering slowly.
Third, we lay back with
raised knees, hands pulling the knees to lift the
hips and spine. Then gently lower each vertebra,
one at a time, into contact with the floor.
Fourth, we slowly lifted
one leg to point upwards, lowering it gently to
the side to touch the floor then lowering it
alongside the other; repeating with the other leg.
|
Then we worked as "matched
stature" couples on the floor:
|
|
| |
One
partner lies prone with relaxed legs while the
other, standing between her partner's legs takes
hold of both ankles and gently stretches her
partner's legs up and back several times before
swapping roles. From a similar position,
lift and genrtly shake each leg in turn up and
down and side to side; swap roles.
One
parter lies supine while the opther takes hold of
her legs at the ankles and gently lifts each leg
in turn to flex the pelvis.
|
Then we worked alone:
|
|
|
| |
Sitting
upright on our haunches, we gently pushed our
torsoes forward, centre, back, nad returing tp
the centre with a slightly upward push from teh
chest. |
Then we worked upright,
standing so the weight is forward of the ball of
one foot and the big and second toes form a
triangular support with the ball of the foot.:
|
|
| |
Staying
upright, think of moving your had and torso
upward from the centre of your body as you slowly
lift your heels, then keep thinking upright as
you lower your heels without lowering your head. |
