4.Ochos, Spirals & circularity
Understand the principles of dissociation, how to increase range of rotation, while maintaining stability.
Learn how to apply these concepts practically and contextually.
5.Giros & Turns
Deconstructing one of the most technically rich figures of the Argentine Tango. Understand how to turn around your partner effortlessly.
Break
6. Standing leg versus free leg
Understanding the roles of the standing leg and free leg, for solid stability, styling and decorations.
7. Melodic Decorations
Exploring melodical decorations, increasing control of the body, applying different variations in the proper music context and learning how to best communicate your needs with the leader when requesting time is needed
8. Rhythmic Decorations
Connect with your playful side by exploring rhythmic decorations and variations, adding personality to your dance and obtaining confident styling options for the dance floor.
9.Somatic Closing & Relaxation
Coming back to the body, integrating everything we’ve learned with breath, stillness, and presence.
10. Closing the circle
We’ll end the day together in a circle of sharing and gratitude, celebrating what we’ve discovered on the dance floor.

In October 2012 Zerrin met Argentine Tango with Tango Yorkshire & was fascinated by the dance from day one, her Tango journey started from that moment. Up to this date she has continued her local Tango journey with teachers including Yohann Le Grand, Richard Manuel and many visiting Argentinian guest teachers. She has been travelling to Europe & Turkey for Tango to explore dancing and styles of teaching outside of UK with her chosen many favourite Maestros. Currently her favourite Maestros to study with are Vanesa Villalba and Facundo Pinero.
Her aim is to continue travelling for Tango and share her experience with others through teaching and organising events. She would like to inspire & encourage others to enjoy Argentine Tango as much as she does.
For Zerrin Tango is a conversation between the two dance partners & connection to the music. She believes it is a partner dance where both roles, follower & leader, are active & connected. She would like to pass her passion, skills & enthusiasm of Tango with her dance style to her students.
Zerrin also DJ's for Tango Leeds’ social milongas since 2018. She enjoys sharing her taste of Tango music & keeping the dancers on the dance floor.

Andrés TANGUITO Cejas
Is a choreographer, dancer and represents the purest style of Argentine Tango. A much loved and respected figure in Buenos Aires and worldwide, Director of the most popular Practica in Buenos Aires “De Querusa”. For the last 4 years he has been member of the Grand Jury of the Tango Mundial BA, was awarded by the "Argentine Council of Dance" with the prestigious “Maria Ruanova” diploma honoris causa as master of Tango, for his contribution to teaching Tango at National and International levels. He performed with many renowned orchestras, amongst which Sexteto Mayor and the one of the Master Mariano Mores, with whom performed at London's Royal Festival Hall. His work extends for over 28years, focused to maintain the authentic Tango de Salón style of his home city. His Tango upholds the purest form of social dance, the classic lineage of Villa Urquiza style, absorbed at source from the great milongueros, like Portalea, PetacaEl Chino Perico. The legendary Osvaldo Zotto, of whom Tanguito is the first and only follower, was a key component in the development and maturation of his Tango. Those legendary dancers are the makers of the Tango we know today and Genoveva Tanguito’s teaching and dancing is an exquisite combination of all these influences.
