Rolling In Close Embrace
Discover the magic of close embrace, the heart of Argentine Tango. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to create a strong yet comfortable connection, master smooth walks, and bring elegance to simple movements like ochos and ocho cortado. You’ll learn how to use posture, dissociation, and subtle weight changes to communicate effortlessly with your partner, even in the smallest spaces. Step by step, we’ll build confidence, fluidity, and musicality so you can enjoy the intimacy and beauty of dancing chest-to-chest. Perfect for beginners who want to feel the true essence of tango from the very first embrace.
In Partyka, we chat, drinks, practise, dance and party!

Time : 1.00pm - 4.00pm
£40.00 for 2 workshops & practica & Q&A
Workshop 1 - Sacadas Merry Go Round!
Step into the art of Sacadas - one of tango’s most dynamic and playful tools! In this workshop, we’ll explore how to create beautiful, flowing displacements that feel natural, musical, and connected. You’ll learn not just the technique, but also the timing, body coordination, and communication that make sacadas smooth and irresistible on the dance floor. Whether you’re leading or following, you’ll discover how to use your body mechanics and presence to turn a simple step into an elegant, surprising moment of tango magic. Come ready to challenge your skills, refine your connection, and add a powerful new element to your dance.
Workshop 2 - Stepping On Your Toes!
Take your tango to the next level with this Masterclass - a deep dive into movement, balance, and precision. We’ll explore how to use opposing energies, footwork mechanics, and body positioning to make every step forward, back, or to the side more stable, powerful, and musical. You’ll refine the art of pivots, discover how to transform your walk into a captivating conversation, and learn techniques that make complex movements feel effortless. This is not just about steps, it’s about control, connection, and elegance in every moment. Come prepared to challenge your technique, expand your possibilities, and leave the dance floor feeling transformed.
Then we chat, food, drinks and continue chatting!
