Men are welcome: Learning to understand the female role helps to have a greater awareness of one's own role.
(note from Barb: leaders, please take this workshop together with the following leaders' workshop - you will thank me!)

Men's technique
Fundamentals of the milonguero style. Balance, posture, connection with one's own body and with the woman's body.
The abrazo. How to maintain the embrace when turning. The walk. The corrida.
