Saturday 12 June

10.00am – 11.30am – Workshop 1 with Patrick Shwaluk
Topic: UNLOCKING YOUR TANGO POTENTIAL.

Last year, we evaluated fundamental movement patterns to demonstrate opportunities for improved movement and we found some common weaknesses. While there were some mobility issues most of the opportunities for improvement related to motor control. this year we will discuss the common weaknesses and apply a series of corrective exercises to work on our weaknesses. The exercises focus on the multidirectional mobile ankle, hip and thoracic spine joints. If you want better balance and an improved capacity to tango, this class is for you. Bring a yoga mat as some of the exercises are floor based. This workshop is FREE thanks to Patrick who donates his time to Para Los Niños.

Extras

Wendy Dear will be bringing her beautiful Tango Wear to the Sunshine Coast Tango Festival. Wendy draws her inspiration from the beauty and sensuality of Argentine tango and creates designs that give women an air of confidence and elegance without compromising on comfort, style and functionality. My Dear clothing offers designs which are rich in colour and texture, while embracing and accentuating the feminine silhouette. Wendy only creates pieces in very limited quantities and they are therefore truly unique.  My Dear Tango Wear is designed and 100% handcrafted by Wendy Dear in Australia. You can see Wendy and her Tango Wear at the Hall all day Saturday and Sunday morning.
