Thanks to everyone who came to the weekend workshops and to the Special Milonga last weekend with Los Totis. What a treat to have this caliber of dancing and instruction in the Phoenix area! And to be 1 of 3 cities on their first visit to the US. SPECTACULAR!
A few comments were:
“They far exceeded my expectations.”
“I was so impressed with them.”
” I have always appreciated the quality of the events you put on and this was exceptional.”
Thank you for sharing your comments with us.
We had an amazing experience with Christian and Virginia. The classes were not too big which allowed for them to go around the room to each couple to help them individually with their questions. Their teaching dynamic as a couple is very fluid – I am so impressed by this. They are calm. They are on the same page as they take turns in sharing information about the subject matter without taking too much time to get the points across.
Rommel and I spent 6 hours further training with them to enhance our tango for the Salon Tango Championships which are now about 2 weeks away! We have learned so much and have grown from each teacher we have had the pleasure to work with. The journey has presented us with teachers/guides/mentors who have helped us further understand aspects of Argentine Tango and its music. It is incredible.
The Key Points!
Back to Los Totis – I am reminded again and again from this workshop weekend, about the clarity and integrity of the embrace, which is so important; which means connection; which ties into the synchronicity of this dynamic partnership; which to me means that the tango couple works together to create the steps, the lines, the music; which in turn translates to clarity of intention and lead!
I always have a huge amount of respect for our dance when I interact with a couple like los Totis… The precision of what they do with such clarity and beauty is an artform.
We will be catching up with them again in Buenos Aires in a few weeks. I am very much looking forward to our continued friendship and tango growth with them.
