Calesita choreography

Learn this choreography you can use during calesita

I’m excited to present a series of options for adornos (decorative movements) that you can incorporate during calesitas (planeos). Calesitas are quite fashionable elements in tango lately. This choreography is designed to give you a structured starting point. Remember: you don’t need to use the entire sequence at once. Feel free to pick and choose the movements that resonate with you. Mix and match to create a style that feels natural to you.

Consider this choreography as a foundation from which you can explore and develop your own unique expression. My goal is to help you build a toolkit of moves that you can adapt depending on the music, the partner, or your mood. It’s about understanding the system of the movements, the logic behind them, and how you can apply them creatively in different situations.

To help you master these adornos, I’m breaking down the entire choreography in my series of YouTube Live sessions. During these live streams, I’ll guide you through each movement. Step by step, I will explain not only how to execute them, but also how to add your personal flair. I will give you tips about to make them look more polished and beautiful. We’ll dive into the details of posture, timing, and how to synchronize your movements with the rhythm of the music. But most importantly, I’ll give you the tools to understand the principles behind the movements. Eventually you will be able to break free from the sequence and start improvising with confidence.

If you can’t attend the live sessions, don’t worry! You can still catch up with the recordings at your own pace. All you need to do is become a member, and you’ll have full access to the tutorials. Start practicing with me, and let’s enjoy this journey of dance together!

Happy dancing, and enjoy the choreography!

Why online tango classes?

Taking tango technique classes online offers several advantages for both beginners and experienced dancers. One of the main benefits is flexibility. With online classes, you can learn at their own pace and on their own schedule, making it easier to fit practice into a busy lifestyle.

Whether you’re in a different time zone or have unpredictable work hours, my online classes will allow you to access high-quality instruction whenever it’s convenient.

Additionally, online tango technique classes often provide the opportunity to revisit lessons as many times as needed. This allows for focused repetition, which is key to mastering complex movements and building muscle memory. You can pause, rewind, or slow down the video to review specific details of technique, ensuring you fully understand each step.

Another advantage is the accessibility of a wide range of subjects. You can learn and improve skills need for technique, like balance, steps or pivots. You can also discover musicality and how to express yourself

Finally, online tango classes allow for greater privacy and comfort. You can practice in the privacy of your own home, without the pressure of performing in front of others, which can be especially beneficial for shy or self-conscious learners. Overall, online tango classes provide a flexible, accessible, and low-pressure environment for skill development.

Paradas-Pasadas & Embellishments – Do’s & Don’ts – MiniPractice#59

Paradas-Pasadas & Embellishments – Do’s & Don’ts

In Argentine Tango, the parada (stop) and pasada (passing step) are key moments that create beautiful, dramatic connections between partners. For the follower, these elements require precision, awareness, and an understanding of how to move with the lead while maintaining balance, elegance, and musicality. It is also the perfect occasion to add embellishments, adornos and a touch of personal expression. In this video, we’ll explore the do’s and don’ts of paradas and pasadas from the follower’s perspective, focusing on how to execute these movements with style and confidence.

When the lead initiates a parada, the follower’s role is to pause in the right place, maintaining a strong, stable base while staying connected to the lead’s energy. Similarly, during a pasada, the follower must navigate a passing step with fluidity. Getting these moments right adds a layer of elegance and precision to your tango, but it requires both technique and sensitivity to the music and your partner.

In this video, we’ll cover:

  • Do’s: How to embrace the parada and pasada with clarity and balance, while staying present in the connection with your partner.
  • Don’ts: Common mistakes to avoid, such as misplacing your weight, losing connection, or not fully responding to the lead’s signals.
  • Embellishments: How to add subtle embellishments during paradas and pasadas—without disrupting the flow—enhancing your movement with flair and musicality.

This video will help you deepen your understanding of the parada and pasada while teaching you how to make these powerful moments your own, adding grace, control, and artistic expression to your tango
