A space to study how we learn movement, for tango and movement enthusiasts with love for detail, aspiring instructors and teachers.
If you're curious how tango works beneath the surface... in the body, in awareness, and in the process of learning, you're on time to join the Tango & Movement Pedagogical Path to explore these questions in depth.
Each session explores the topic of the month from two lenses:
The learner's lens
The pedagogical lens
You may join to deepen your dance skills by inhabiting your body with greater presence, or because you're curious about teaching, guiding practice spaces, or understanding pedagogy for your own learning process.
Zentrum Exist, Sechshauser Str. 36-38, 1150 Wien (Seminarraum)
The Tango & Movement Pedagogical Path stands on its own and runs parallel to Jessica's Tango Immersion program (it takes place on a monthly basis, before the Sunday Tango Immersion workshops).
Along the program, you'll learn about biomechanics (how your body and movement work –in general and specifically for Tango Argentino), movement analysis, teaching methods and pedagogical strategies (useful not only for teachers or aspiring instructors but for everyone interested in learning how to learn movement), with occasional guided micro-teaching dynamics for those interested in the role of instructor.
You're welcome to contact Jessica if you have any questions.
