Moving Quickly, Moving Slowly
As tango music evolved into the later 1940s there is more open space to play with in the music, more places to pause, and ways to use space in the dance to accompany the space in the music. Pauses and quick time movements go well together to express the feeling of this music where lyrical melody is contrasted with driving rhythm. This class will explore movements that can be stretched out over multiple beats, and mixed with quick time movements. We will explore the orchestras and vocalists of the late 40s and the movement they inspire.
