Sacadas 235

By rusty, January 27, 2010

Warning: Sacadas are not very floor craft friendly so master these before you begin to use them at the milonga!

Sacadas are pieces of your foundation. Here you will see pieces of ocho cortado, gyros – molinetes. Stay soft, calm and balance. Nail your pivots or you may get nailed by your partner.

Ladies hear and follow the impulse!

Dance in the beautiful Presidido Park! (click to enlarge)


At 2:00 PM on the 7th of February, 2010 we will begin to play solid gold tango music with Joanne Canalli as your DJ. We will dance tango in the splendor of our Arizona weather. This is guerrilla outdoor milonga so don’t wear your best shoes, though the brick is easy to dance on!

We will hang in the park for a while then move along the route shown on the map. Look for us somewhere along the route if you arrive later. We will dance until 3:30 or 4:00 PM.

See you there. Bring water!!!

This event is FREE!!!!

Volcadas 2010

By rusty, January 13, 2010

For best results look at the connection NOT at the feet. You will miss the all important lean of the volcada. You want the shape of a tee-pee, not a lean-to!

Volcada is an advanced movement! It is a lean and a connection, not a step!!! Please don’t use this on the floor of the milonga until you have mastered the lean and movement as it can cause stress, pain or injury!

But please…. HAVE FUN!!!

With Love & Light,
Rusty
You are the music, love is the rhythm and life is the dance!
