Tango Body Awareness Method®
mit Marcela Trapé und Alberto Català
Feeling Tango through the Lens of Body Awareness
We invite you on a journey into the essence of tango, seen through the lens of body awareness.
This workshops is led by Marcela and Alberto, both from Buenos Aires, Argentina. For over 30 years, they have been exploring the culture of the tango embrace, uniting popular wisdom with in-depth somatic research.
Marcela comes from an academic background in ballet and contemporary dance. In 1998, she developed her own method to free and sensitize the tango dancer’s body. Her approach highlights the somatic language within dance, allowing each person to discover a more conscious and authentic movement. www.marcelatrape.com
Alberto is a tango dancer with deep roots in the Buenos Aires milonga scene. He received direct transmission from legendary milongueros such as Mingo Pugliese. With over 30 years of experience, he has not only danced on countless floors but, more importantly, has trained generations of dancers from their very first steps, accompanying them with care as they became confident social dancers – and, in many cases, tango professionals.
Topics
In these classes, we work on concepts of body organization specifically designed for tango dancers. Through individual and paired exercises, you'll learn to release tension, connect more deeply with your own body, and gain stability and fluidity in your movements—without effort. The work opens new dimensions of sensitivity and perception.
From this foundation, we explore tango through the lens of body awareness. You'll develop a clearer understanding of connection, embrace, and walking technique. We’ll play with musicality, timing, use of space, and movement structures to enrich your dance and presence.
Some classes include barre work inspired by the BAM® approach, using simple ballet-based exercises to refine your technique and alignment. No prior ballet experience is necessary—just curiosity and a desire to explore.
And most importantly: bring your questions! These classes are a space for exploration and discovery.
