Created by Studio Bliss director Cathy Salmons, TangoFlow! is a unique and highly innovative dance-fitness program that combines elements of ballet, jazz and modern dance with Argentine Tango technique, to strengthen and sculpt the body in ways that no other dance-fitness workout can match!
Whether you are a tango dancer wishing to condition your body and improve technique, or simply looking for a dance-workout that is different and fun, TangoFlow! is an excellent choice. Fluid, expressive and high-energy, TangoFlow! is taught in a continuous, flowing format, easy to follow, and in bare feet...you will learn techniques to strengthen the feet and ankles, dance in a grounded posture with balance, alignment and core strength, and use the unique tango principle of "dissociation" to sculpt the waist, back and abs - developing that signature "hourglass" shape of the tango dancer!
All of this happens in an expressive, freeing space, that will help you find your "tango spirit," while getting a great workout and a serious sweat! TangoFlow! has been featured at these prominent venues:
- Air de Tango Studio, Montreal, QC
- South End Studio, Burlington, VT
- North End Studio, Burlington, VT
- New England Tango Academy, Boston, MA
- "Moonlight in Vermont" Tango Festival, Brandon, VT
