I’m now at the airport after spending the weekend at the home of #ErinAndDoruk in Michigan. It was a #tango fundamentals seminar; not “first day dancing,” but rather a fair bit of “tango theory,” understanding the structure of the dance and how to analyze figures in terms of the code of walking. And of course, how to execute them.
I also did the teacher training with them, since I’ve started substitute teaching in @dcqueertango
It was great! #ArgentineTango #dance
Erin did her degree in dance and used to be a Pilates instructor before becoming a full time professional #tango dancer. She KNOWS how bodies move.
She’s also hypermobile like me.
She was able to pinpoint exactly what muscles I need to activate to dance without pain from my knee injury! And she pointed out specific steps that were putting me in dangerous positions and how to correct that and gave me exercises to help with the hypermobility-related problems.
