Diana Cruz in Philadelphia: October 4-6

Fluidity, Elegance, Musicality, Composition: A Two-Day Intensive Seminar with Diana Cruz

Each four-hour session will work deeply and finely on:

• FLUIDITY—a journey through the fluid space between positions, artistry in transitions;

• ELEGANCE—where one line of movement seamlessly and beautifully melds into the next;

• MUSICALITY—creatively applying technique and vocabulary to musical expression; and

• COMPOSITION—embracing connection for clear communication of ideas in the dance floor.

Each four-hour session is meticulously constructed with two integrated sections: “Laboratory of Movement” and "Application to Tango Structure & Figures".

In the “Laboratory of Movement,” dancers will engage in focused body conditioning exercises—based on Diana Cruz’s Tangotensegrity™ concepts—designed to enhance core strength, flexibility, and precise control, laying the foundation for fluid and elegant movement.

Following this, the “Application to Tango Structure & Figures” section will seamlessly transition these refined movements into practical dance sequences, in couples, emphasizing connection, communication, and musicality.

This approach ensures that dancers not only develop their technical abilities but also learn how to effectively incorporate these skills into the expressive and dynamic structure of Tango.
