~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
Practicing the appropriate exercises on the ground, alone or in pairs, will provide a physical warm-up time, where you will work on relaxation, axis, support, dissociation and balance.
The technical work will make it possible to approach the different and complementary roles and to widen the space of improvisation. Men will rediscover the in-depth structure and guidance of tango.
The women will develop listening to the posture which will give substance to the dance. From the embrace, the structure, the energy of dissociation and its multiple possibilities, we will approach our usual patterns in order to improve and enrich our dance by working on traditional figures and sequences of Argentinian tango.
Awareness of the breath will strengthen our capacity to be centered, to be available and will help us to build harmony in the couple and to increase the nuances in the dance and in the interpretation of the music.

In the heart of Val di Cecina between Volterra and the Etruscan coast lies the dreamy village of Querceto, surrounded by fields and forests.
