See Workshop Schedule Below
The Ballroom Dance Club of Fairbanks is excited to announce their first workshop of 2013! Join us for Argentine Tango & Bachatango, with the talented Frank Canha. Frank has been dancing for more than 40 years, specializing in Argentine Tango for 20 years. He now lives and teaches in Anchorage, and is a local favorite.
The Argentine Tango is distinguished by a close hold, or embrace. The movement is stealthy, and has an unmistakable staccato feel. Characterized by its dramatic attitude, Argentine Tango is an improvisational form, with both partners contributing to telling the story of a relationship that is encompassed in each dance. Watch a demo.
Bachatango (a sensual and modern form of the Latin dance Bachata ) is a style that fuses the Dominican Bachata with Argentine Tango moves, including elaborated kicks, dips, turns, ganchos, leg wraps and long pauses. A rapidly developing style, Bachatango is now being danced to both Bachata and Tango music and is seen in Bachata competitions worldwide. Watch a demo and another.
