One weekend, in the Spring of 2004, Richard & Eleonora, originally from Rosario but now based in London, held a series of Tango workshops in the recently-refurbished Orangery of Bylaugh Hall in Norfolk.

Richard & Eleonora led a series of workshops with a small group of local or temporarily resident participants on Saturday and Sunday - morning and afternoon - based on caminita and corrida.

There was also a Valentine's Milonga on the Saturday night.

 
   
  back to basic caminita and corrida
     
  back to combining the caminita and corrida with sacadas
 
     
  back to combining the caminita and corrida with boleos
   

we began the fourth workshop with a zig-zag corrida:

 
  leader begins on left foot in parallel;

turns torso to follower and steps offset in corrida on right,left, right;

pivot 90 to right;

corrida in front of follower - left, right, left;

pivot 90 top left and repeat ...

then a backward corrida:

 
  forward on left

90 pivot to left and open step on right to face follower across LOD;

90 pivot to left and three short, double time back steps along LOD - left,right.left;

90 pivot to face follower across LOD;

90 pivot to resume walking in front of ollower along LOD

tehn a complex move:  
  left forward;

right/left forward in double time to enter cross system

right forward leading follower to cross left on right;

left forward so follower steps back (short) on her right foot;

move torso forward, closing the embrace so follower steps back (short) on her left foot;

right forward, so follower steps back (short) on her right foot;

move torso forward so follower crosses her left foot in front of her right foot;

How it started
What you must do first
Getting around
Intertwining those legs
Having real fun
Swirling around the room
No limits
