In this four week series, we will cover linear vs. circular sacadas, leader and follower sacadas, cross vs. open step sacadas, sacadas in close and open embrace, sacadas from overturned ochos, and how to integrate sacadas seamlessly into your social dancing.

A few of the questions we will address are:

  • How can you stay grounded and maintain a nice connection during sacada displacements?
  • What makes a pretty leg line during the recovery from a sacada displacement?
  • What can you do to keep your balance during dynamic sacadas?
  • How can a follower recognize the opportunity or invitation to make a follower sacada (where the follower displaces the leader)?
  • How can you make a deep sacada step without throwing your partner off axis?
  • Where can you find opportunities for sacadas within your dance?

The class is currently full for leaders unless they are enrolling with one or more followers. Contact Max to enroll as a follower or to be placed on the leader waiting list for this class.

Prerequisites:

    A minimum of 100 hours of prior tango experience is recommended for this class. All participants should be comfortable leading or following ochos and the molinete.
The course fee of $60 is payable by cash or check on the first day of class.
