The Art of Tango II Workshop

htpaulo06.jpg IXI DANZA is proud to present “The Art of Tango II” workshops with Hsueh-tze Lee - teacher, milonguera and deejay, from 17 November to 25 November. This workshop series consists of progressive classes, guided practicas and a Welcome Milonga to mark her return trip in Singapore.

Known for her musicality and innovative approach, Hsueh-tze has been one of North America’s pioneers in Argentine Tango since 1990, the early days of Tango revival. She draws inspiration from her extensive experiences dancing with milongueros of Buenos Aires. Her dance blends the richness of Tango tradition with exploratory possibilities.

ht-lead_small.jpgHsueh-tze dances “Tango milonguero” - the way Tango is danced in the milongas of Buenos Aires. It is the essence of Tango - a social style that emphasizes the connection between the couple and musicality. While it looks deceptively simple, the milonguero style is a rich form of subtle body signals exchanged between the couple, that truly respects Tango’s rhythms.

In her classes, Hsueh-tze integrates her knowledge of dance, physiology and biomechanics to focus on movement dynamics, musicality, improvisation, and on the communication between partners that makes the Tango such a special dance. She will teach you not only the steps, but most importantly, how to step, thus transforming your dance. Under her guidance, students will improve their posture, balance and become a more confident and sensitive dancer.

Come experience the genuine Tango style of Buenos Aires with Hsueh-tze Lee!
