Tango Workshop

with Barefoot Tango

Transport yourself to Buenos Aires without leaving the festival site with this fun and relaxed Argentine Tango workshop. Argentinian Tango is a complex and subtle dance, contrary to what a lot of people may believe about it. This workshop is a chance for people to encounter Tango as a social dance and to experience the joy of connecting with a partner through dancing together in a close embrace. The workshop uses the traditional ideas and music of Argentine Tango - with it’s depth, history and lyrics - but with a more relaxed approach to allow for a playful experience, using movement games and improvisation as an introduction to the techniques of the dance.

Ruth Pethybridge and Becalelis Brodskis met in Argentina seven years ago, following a shared passion for Tango.... Ruth is also a contemporary dancer with over ten years of experience as a teacher and facilitator of dance for all ages. Bec is an artist film-maker and animator..They have been dancing together ever since and love inspiring others to discover the connection that Tango brings
