Sunday / 14:30 - 16:00 & 16:30 - 17:00
Theme: Pulpeadas - Entangled Legss

Price: € TBC 
"In Argentine Tango, pulpeadas are an advanced series of complex, interconnected leg movements and wraps, often involving sacadas (displacements) and enganches (hooks), named in honor of the dancer Norberto "Pulpo" Esbrez, who popularized and developed many such intricate figures.
The term "pulpeadas" is a colloquialism, essentially "octopus steps," referring to how the legs intertwine and wrap around each other in a convoluted manner, similar to an octopus's tentacles."
 
We invite you to learn some cool Pulpeadas that you can nicely chain up to an impressive sequence of leg entanglements. You should be fluent in Ganchos to participate in this workshop.

 Laurenz Wiskott is a passionate dancer, addicted to Argentine Tango since 2008.

For him, Tango combines some of his earlier passions, such as juggling, aikido, music, and ballroom dancing, all integrated in his particular style of dancing, soft, clear, varied, playful. He organizes a regular Neolonga in Bochum, DJs, and offers Workshops.

When it comes to music, it is important to him that it is harmonious/melodic and varied, that it invites you to listen, play, and invent new movements. That's why he sometimes play quite unusual pieces, although they should always be easy to dance to. In workshops he wants to teach principles rather than individual figures. Ideally the participants should be able to play with the material and generalize the learned movements to invent new figures.
