Tango Workshops with Ondrej

O wydarzeniu

Ondrej is a tango dancer, teacher, DJ, and the organizer of one of the biggest tango events in the world, held in Prague. Since he began dancing, he has studied with some of the world’s top maestros, Alejandra Mantinan and Gabriel Misse. Alejandra Mantinan’s technique of body mechanics and Gabriel Misse’s profound understanding of the walk have greatly shaped Ondrej’s own dance technique. His passion for tango is contagious. He teaches in a supportive and empathetic way, sharing his deep technical knowledge with students in a clear, accessible, and easy-to-understand manner. Ondrej: "Dear Friends, I am very much looking forward to being back with you in Warsaw! I would like to invite you to a cycle of six workshops, each dedicated to a different topic designed to enrich your tango. You are welcome to join any of the workshops separately, as each topic will be introduced from the beginning. The cycle will conclude with two workshops on the concept of micro-leading—a real game changer for your dance." 📅 When: 2nd, 6th, 7th September 📍 Where: ul. Żelazna 103A 💰 How much: 30zł each workshop Plan of the workshops: - TUESDAY 2nd September - 18:00-19:15 Close embrace - SATURDAY 6th September - 13:00-14:15 Volcadas - 14:15-15:45 Sacadas - SUNDAY 7th September - 13:00-14:15 Micro-leading: introduction - 14:15-15:45 Micro-leading: advanced technique 1. Dancing in Close Embrace Dancing in close embrace may seem challenging at first, but it is truly the essence of tango. In this workshop, we will explore how to embrace, how to lead and follow in a simple walk, and how to apply this to more complex structures. 2. Volcadas Volcadas are among the most elegant movements in tango. While they appear simple, many followers experience mental blocks when attempting them. We will start from very basic principles and build step by step until everyone can dance volcadas with ease and confidence. 3. Sacadas Sacadas are refined movements in which one dancer steps into the space of the other. Because of their sophistication, they can feel tricky at first, but by focusing on simple principles, you will quickly gain confidence. Together we will work on both the technique and dynamics, so you can start dancing sacadas at milongas right away. 4. Micro-Leading Concept I Micro-leading is an effortless and highly efficient way of dancing, where leaders use literally no energy to suggest movements to their followers. For followers, it makes responding easier and creates a more sensitive and attuned connection with the partner. This concept enables complete synchronization—both physically and emotionally. 5. Micro-Leading Concept II We will deepen our understanding of micro-leading through troubleshooting and applying it to more complex structures, as well as revisiting the previous workshop topics. With this cycle, I hope to inspire you to discover new possibilities in your dance, while enjoying the beautiful journey of tango together. Classes will be conducted in English.
