Turning Points: The Art of the Giro in All Systems - 8 weeks Intermediate Course

In tango, the giro is more than a turn - it’s a language of rotation, power, and elegant control. This 8-week Intermediate course is designed to deepen your understanding of giros in both parallel and cross-system, while integrating advanced elements like sacadas, patadas, and varied embrace styles.

Main Focus:
🔄 Isolation and connection - separate the upper and lower body for precise control
🔄 Continuity of torsion and rotation - lead and follow dynamics that flow
🔄 Left and right giro from the back cross - in both parallel and cross-system
🔄 Turning technique - understand system principles and execute effortlessly
Additional Explorations:
💥 Octagonal, square, and triangular giro structures
💥 Modern vs. milonguero-style turns – combine the best of both worlds
💥 Giro with sacada on the open step
💥 Giro with patada – style meets momentum
💥 The leader’s axis and its impact on the turn
💥 Molinete cadencia – rhythm, breath, and grace
If you’ve ever felt dizzy in the giro - or stuck with the same pattern - this is your invitation to master one of tango’s most essential tools and make it your own.
