Special Workshops With Karen Jaffe


Tango CLT is excited to welcome back maestra Karen Jaffe for two super-helpful workshops! This is the kind of work we love to do at Tango CLT - work that deepens your dance and helps make your foundation rock solid. We hope you will join us for both workshops!

All workshops will be at The Long Room, 1111 Central Avenue, Suite 230, Charlotte, NC 28204

Friday evening, June 27: Follow Technique For Everyone!

Time: 7 PM - 9 PM / Price: $35

Newcomers welcomed and encouraged. Experienced dancers especially encouraged to challenge yourself to grow even more in your dance! Starting from the ground up….focus on posture, balance, timing, cadence with natural movement while gaining more body awareness. Exercises and techniques to help improve your walk, pivots, free leg work and perhaps some ideas for embellishing (how, when and what).

LEADERS please join us to study the role of the follower! Your knowledge of the follower’s role and movement will help you better understand your role as a leader!

Bring flat shoes, heels (if you have them) and socks to dance in.

Saturday afternoon, June 28: Deep Fundamentals (also for everyone!)

Time: 12 PM - 4 PM with a break in the middle / Price: $60

$80 For both workshops!

Payment Link coming soon!

No matter what your level or experience it’s ALWAYS a good practice to refresh and review the fundamentals. They are the building blocks for ALL the other movements you will do.

You can expect a little of all of this;

Technique for Intentional Walking

The 3 C’s- Exercises to improve Connection, Comfort and Clarity.

How to create more dynamic movement through Tension and Release

Finding an “Intelligent Embrace”

Exploring crossed and parallel systems

Basics for turning

Understanding default patterns

Promotion of active following

LOTS of exercises to work on concepts!
