Tango Fantastico :: Jorge Torres

Tango Workshop with Jorge Torres

Technique: “Displacements & Invasions”

** Intermediate **

Saturday, October 25, 6:30pm - 8:00pm

DanceSport in San Jose, CA

Pre-registration Required

Taking elements of the previous three workshops, walking, ochos and giros, Jorge will introduce displacements (sacadas) and invasion steps. The partner executing the sacada crosses the line on which his/her partner travels. When the axis is transferred to the foot that crosses the line a new central point is created, around which the dancers rotate. There are many ways to cross the line, each resulting in a different effect:

• Intersecting your partner’s line of travel at different points along the ‘line’
• Options and effects regarding how shallow or deep one should cross the line to achieve the desired result
