Introducing a New Method of Tango Instruction:
The Tango Matrix!
Joanne Canalli and Rusty Cline
At the US finals on Sunday we were working out, we needed a sudden surge and break through to move up our standing due to too much nervousness in the earlier rounds. We needed to reduce tension from nervousness that occurred in the earlier rounds. I wanted to help Joanne increase her confidence in her own abilities and training – Joanne has a rod in her back due to scoliosis, so she didn’t have any athletic background before dancing tango. I came up with two new exercises and a game we played in the practice room in San Francisco, suddenly her confidence zoomed ahead and we almost won in the final round that night. We were only 0.6 of a point behind the winners.
“We came home and I have been improving these techniques and games with our students. Many of our students have accelerated their growth rate, retention capacity and the ability to acquire new tango vocabulary. We have some new students that are already moving like they have been dancing for months!”
This is great opporutunity to take your first steps on your Argentine Tango journey or to reinforce your tango foundation. This is a workshop designed to provide you with a background on Argentine Tango and to give you the beginnings of a solid foundation to have you moving on the dance floor with the music and your partner. We look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your tango adventure! Or helping you continue along the journey you have already started! For more Tango Matrix info click here
