Here is an easy exercise for practising jumps that can be incorporated into a tango choreography.
Not to be confused with traditional salon tangos danced at milongas, tango escenario or stage tango is however a lot of fun and this is a step you can practice on your own at the barre.
The technique here begins with a plié with the impetus then coming from circular leg flicks, or boleos. It’s also a great workout for the feet and to improve balance and coordination 🙂
You can now find Tangolicious on YouTube – As a free tango resource I’m uploading a variety of exercises from basic to more complex, that can be practiced between classes. For those without much time on their hands, why not try the thirty second shorts 🙂
A few minutes a day is all it takes to make a noticeable difference to your dancing and give you more confidence on the dance floor.

We were delighted to be asked to perform at artist Marinella Senatore’s show Afterglow, on June 9th, which marked the opening of her latest exhibition.
The location, Battersea Power Station, was the backdrop to one of her magnificent light installations and more than 200 dancers, musicians and other movement practitioners converged on the site in a celebration of community and creativity.
We are looking forward to sharing the forthcoming video compilation of the evening – until then, here are a couple of photos from the event!
