Workshops Richard Manuel and Tamsyn Webb & Gran Milonga – 19 September · Brussels

Dear Tangueras & Tangueros,

It is a great pleasure for me to welcome my friends Richard Manuel and Tamsyn Webb to Brussels. I value them deeply, both personally and for the creativity and professionalism they bring to their tango.

Richard is an internationally renowned Argentine tango dancer, teacher and choreographer with more than 27 years of experience. Tamsyn’s background in dance, music and osteopathy gives her a profound understanding of musicality, the body and movement.

Together, they are known for their creative improvisation, refined connection and layered musicality. Their teaching offers both leaders and followers clear technical tools, while encouraging the freedom to interpret the music in a personal way.

On Saturday 19 September, they will share their approach during two workshops before the Gran Milonga del Río de la Plata at De Markten.

Looking for an organic tango with clear leading and following sensations?

These two workshops will unfold and clarify the principles, technique and possibilities of social tango.

Have you ever dreamed of:

•  Leading or following with greater clarity?

•  Finding more freedom in improvisation through music, movement and playfulness on the social dance floor?

•  Bringing more elegance into your dance?

We will give you practical tools to explore these questions and apply them in a social environment — for a safer and more respectful ronda, and more comfortable and versatile tandas.

Saturday 19 September

13:00–14:30 — Workshop 1

14:45–16:00 — Workshop 2

Followed by the Gran Milonga del Río de la Plata

📍 De Markten — 1000 Brussels

“You might not be able to go back.”

As the lyrics of Pensalo Bien say:

Pensalo bien,

antes de dar ese paso,

que tal vez mañana acaso

no puedas retroceder.
