Like verbal communication also the dance needs to go through constant changes. The challenge of the dancers is to recognize the main patterns in each phrase and surf the instruments that lead those phrases. From slow to fast, legato to staccato, linear to circular, the music inspires our movements and dances through us. How to improve our skills in this direction? How can we lead and follow those changes with no delay between mind and legs, between the moment of the lead and the follower’s reaction? The answers to these questions and many more in this workshop.

A beginner dances on the rhythm, an intermediate dances on the melody, an advanced dances on the emotion… Carlos Gavito danced on the pauses!

Pauses are needed to find ourselves and our partner, prepare for what is coming, reconnect to our body and our emotions, live in the ‘here and now’. It is the moment when we stop being dominated by the music.

This workshop is dedicated to those dancers who want to explore the pause. It opens new keys for musical interpretation.

And be an inspiration for the rest of the milonga.
