Tango dancing continues getting more dynamic. The limit is only the imagination. We create all kind of body leverage moves, turns, shadow dancing and wraps.<br />
<br />
In this move Alain Guillot and Cheryl Williams perform a turn, a shadow move and a leg wrap. We hope that you enjoy it.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00441677420539857934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172811611468825393.post-24964129335270789702013-06-06T16:31:00.001-04:002013-06-06T16:33:21.617-04:00<iframe frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=497048107011532" width="640"></iframe>

<b>Tango is a dance of the streets</b>.<br />
<br />
In this video, Alain Guillot and Silvia Rios take their love for tango to the people. Without any kind of permission from the city, they started their boom box, played the music and started dancing. They were accompanied by Rowing Miles, a hobby photographer.<br />
<br />
Curious tourist would gather around, some of them immediately flipping their cameras, some other ones annoyed at being disturbed from their thoughts.<br />
<br />
It was a great joy to just express our passion for tango, unsolicited and even illegally.<br />

It was a beautiful fall evening (Sep. 23rd) when Alain Guillot and Silvia Rios decided to go and on the streets of the Old Port Montreal. They asked for the assistance of their friend Rowen Miles to film them and photograph them.<br />
<br />
As Alain and Silvia danced, curious tourist looked at them and in some occasions they applauded.<br />
<br />
It was a wonder experience. To share the love for this seductive music.<br />
<br />
On October 6 2012, Alain and Silvia will perform a tango during the Dance Conmigo party.<br />
<br />
Dance Conmigo host a party the first Saturday of every month. On October 6, Dance Conmigo will teach two dance classes at the same time. One dance Class will be West Coast Swing in one room and Argentine Tango in different room. After the classes the dancers will be able to choose among three different dance floors. One dance Floor for Salsa, merengue, cha-cha; one dance floor for Argentine Tango; and the last dance floor for West Coast Swing, waltz, rumba, cha-cha, foxtrot, etc.<br />
<br />
Dance Conmigo hopes to have all dance floors full of happy dancers.<br />
<br />

For six years now (since October 2006) <a href="http://www.danceconmigo.com/tango">Dance Conmigo</a> has been holding an open dance party the first Saturday of every month.<br />
<br />
<b>How it works: </b>On the first Saturday of the month, we host a social dance party at <a href="http://www.studiometronome.ca/home.html">Studio Metronome</a>. The night kicks off with an introductory dance class from 8-9pm, featuring one of the dance styles we teach at <a href="http://www.danceconmigo.com/tango">Dance Conmigo</a>. After the class, there is general dancing in three different rooms. One dance floor is for Salsa (plus Bachata, Merengue, Cha-Cha), one is for Argentine Tango, and the Main Ballroom features a mix of all the dance styles - including Ballroom, Swing and West Coast Swing.<br />
<br />
<b>On September 1st: </b>For the first time, <a href="http://www.danceconmigo.com/tango">Dance Conmigo</a> hosted two introductory classes at the same time. Alain and Cheryl taught a beginner Bachata class in the main room, while Rogerio and Jade taught Argentine Tango in the "Tango Room".<br />
<br />
<b>Jade is a professional dance teacher</b> with a lot of confidence developed from many years of training, but for Rogerio, a passionate student of tango himself, this was his first time teaching.<br />
<br />
<b>We are so proud of you, Rogerio</b>. Every woman who came off of the tango floor, did so with a big smile, many saying "Wow, I just danced with Rogerio..." We are so happy to have you with us!<br />
<br />
<b>For you, Jade</b>: Thank you so much for being part of the <a href="http://www.danceconmigo.com/tango">Dance Conmigo</a> team. Your presence and experience, personality and charm brings so much to our little school!<br />

It was the beginning of May, when Dance Conmigo received a phone call from the promoters of a TV series called, La Vie est un cirque, televised by <a href="http://lavieestuncirque.tv5.ca/404.html#lveuc">TV5</a>.<br />
<br />
Our conversation went more or less like this.<br />
<br />
<b>Promoters</b>: Hey, we are televising a circus show performed by <a href="http://www.cirque-eloize.com/en/home">Cirque Eloize</a> with the theme "<b>The evolution of tango</b>" would you like to attend to the filming and get some free tickets?<br />
<br />
<b>Dance Conmigo</b>: sure, how many tickets do you have.<br />
<br />
<b>Promoter</b>: we can give you 10.<br />
<br />
<b>Dance Conmigo</b>: Can we have 20? some of our student would feel left out if they are not invited.<br />
<br />
<b>Promoter</b>: Well, we had 10 for you, but we will make it 20.<br />
<br />
<b>Dance Conmigo</b>: Thank you so much.<br />
<br />
An so it happened. About 20 Dance Conmigo students went to the Cirque Eloize head-quarters and played the role of public during this fantastic presentation.<br />
<br />
The presentation was aired this week and we wanted to share it with every one else. Click on the image to see the video.<br />

In this video we worked on Boleos.<br />
<br />
Boleo could be done either high or low.

<br />
<br />
In this class we started covering Ganchos.<br />
<br />
Ganchos are easily done in combination with other movements such as Giros or Back Ochos.<br />
<br />
If we start guiding our partner for a back ocho and then, insert our leg as she is trying to collect her feet, then a beautiful gancho might turn out from the maneuver.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00441677420539857934noreply@blogger.com03655 Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2X 1A1, Canada45.5145464 -73.573697945.5034199 -73.5934389 45.5256729 -73.5539569tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172811611468825393.post-38802086142431521522012-06-08T04:26:00.000-04:002012-06-08T04:26:45.862-04:00Turn to the left in Tango<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lhCfQe86WCw" width="560"></iframe><br />

<br />
I love this step for it simplicity, how it feels and how practical it is.<br />
At any time during the tango walk, the leader can step outside partner with his right foot and by having a firm connection on the follower's back, he can stop her back momentum and redirect it to the left.<br />
<br />
The follower would step around the leader's right foot, take a step forward and then spiral by leaving her weight on her left foot.<br />
<br />
From this half turn position, the leader can create a circular cadencia creating about 180 degree turn and coming back to the line of dance.<br />
<br />
One of the things that I love about this step is how easy it is to execute in a crowded room and how easy it is to execute in close embrace. It also an easy step to pull out of your pocket in case of a need to do a sudden change of direction or to kill some time while there is an opening on the dance floor.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00441677420539857934noreply@blogger.com03655 Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2X 1A1, Canada45.5145464 -73.573697945.5034199 -73.5934389 45.5256729 -73.5539569tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172811611468825393.post-3772512449952314832012-06-02T16:09:00.001-04:002012-06-02T16:11:19.878-04:00Ochos in Tango for the leader<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/feq2IIRoELI" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Usually, when we learn about Ochos, we always think about them as a move that the follower does. But When the leader does Ochos as well, it creates an element of surprise and it is a very easy step to guide and follow. Give it a try and try switching from back to to front Ochos several times.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00441677420539857934noreply@blogger.com03655 Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2X 1A1, Canada45.5145464 -73.573697945.5034199 -73.5934389 45.5256729 -73.5539569tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172811611468825393.post-60504492424966184322012-05-29T17:35:00.001-04:002012-05-29T17:37:01.685-04:00Two men Dancing Milonga<br />

This was a Sacadas Workshop hosted by Alain Guillot and Cheryl Williams held at Dance Conmigo studio on May 26th from 13h00 to 14h30.<br />
<br />
Sacada means displacement of a leg or foot by the partner’s leg or foot or whole body. Sacadas can be discrete and hardly noticeable or big and flashy. In this video we did some Sacadas that were physically challenging, but very fun to do and visually attractive.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00441677420539857934noreply@blogger.com03655 Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montreal, QC H2X 1A1, Canada45.5145464 -73.573697945.5034199 -73.5934389 45.5256729 -73.5539569tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172811611468825393.post-67621016602486294442012-05-18T08:31:00.000-04:002012-05-18T08:31:32.879-04:00Ocho Cortado<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EjbsWoYXaqA" width="560"></iframe><br />

<br />
<br />
Ocho Cortado is a change of direction. It generally occurs on "5" or the cruzada position.<br />
<br />
From 5, the leader takes a bouncing step forward and immediately brings his partner back to his right side.
<br />
<br />
The secret in a good guiding is to keep a firm connections with the follower's back. As she steps back with her right leg, the leader prevents her from moving her left foot.<br />
<br />
After the bounce they both open facing each other and transferring the weight (leader to the right leg, followers to the left leg).<br />
<br />
The next motion is basically a pivoting move in which the leader transfer his weight to his left foot and rotating his shoulders to the left while bringing his partner with him.<br />
<br />
For the follower, she will be guided to transfer her weight to the right foot and the pivoting motion will encourage to cross her feet coming back to the Cruzada or "5" position. <br />

<br />
<b>Cadencia</b> is a shifting of weight, sometimes in place, sometimes in one direction or another. This step is very useful for avoiding collisions and making direction changes in small places. Many times we use it at the beginning of the dance to communicate the Rhythm of the music and to ensure that the first step will be taken with the correct foot.

<br />
This is one of my favorite steps when we are performing. It is simple and visible. It is like an eye candy for an audience while the leader prepares in his mind for the next movement.<br />
<br />
Leg Extensions are very versatile. it can be done almost instantly with big breaks of the music. Extensions can be done ether when going to the left (on 2) or going to the right (on 7) or while going back and/or forward.<br />
<br />
For the follower, once she becomes sensitive to the first one, all the other ones are easy to understand and easy to follow.
I am sure that both, leader and follower, will find this movement easy and fun, plus it is pleasant to the eye.<br />
