Workshops with Melina Sedó and Detlef Engel

Melina Sedó & Detlef Engel

Melina and Detlef are since 2001 teaching social tango in a close embrace all over Europe and the USA. Their focus is on musicality, communication and improvisation. Through their dedication as teachers and organisers they have helped shape social tango significantly and their students are amongst the most sought-after partners at milongas and encuentros.

In 2013 they began training teachers and in 2015 produced an instructional Book + Film, that is considered as standard for everyone who wants to dance tango with sense and sensibility.

Method and Classes:

In their classes, Detlef and Melina explore the foundations of movement in order to develop a better connection to one’s own body, the partner and the music. Even the most advanced dancers will gain valuable insights in the intricacies of this wonderful dance instead of just learning more complex figures.

At the last edition of Winter Tango München, Detlef and Melina were mainly examining the harmonious communication of movements, this time it's all about the music!

Please register with a partner. If the participants are up to it, Detlef and Melina suggest role-change as one means of understanding and enjoying the dance better. So there is no need to sign up in the typical leader/follower combination. Two women or two guys working together is just as fun and profitable!

Saturday - The Melodic Rhythm - 2:30h

Many dancers understand rhythm and melody as opposites when indeed every melody has a rhythm. We are going to expand our musical toolbox by introducing a few uncommon rhythms and then interpret a lovely tango that sounds simple on first glance, but that is indeed quite complex if we look more closely. If time permits, we will not only apply this musicality in the caminar, but also in a familiar movement. A seminar that breaks old habits.

Saturday at Hubertussaal 10:30-13:15 - 2:30 workshop plus 0:15 break.

Price: 60€

Limited Capacity

Sunday - Vals - Pauses and Flow - 2:30h

Vals is so much more than constant fast turns! We discover the calmness and breathing of the music and implement this in a simple and more complex movement.

Sunday at Hubertussaal 10:30-13:15 - 2:30 workshop plus 0:15 break.
