Teaching Goals
  • Getting rid of any inhibition the students may have when they dance
  • Creating a group of friends through tango
  • To regain the true value of the corporal language in the teaching of Tango (The Maestro has been working at this project for a good many years with a philosophy which yields excelente results.)
Intensive practice with special atention taylored to your particular needs & Key Teaching Points which ensure Good Retention

Specific Exercises : Body weight transfer, Abdominal breathing (Using the diaphragm), The 8 Basic Steps (El Básico), The lead, Figures, Walks, "Backward Ocho", "Forward Ocho", *Ganchos, *Sacadas, *Giros, *Boleos, etc, etc.
Exercises to correct formely aqcuired errors.
Classes with few pupils for greater attention and thus retention.

(The exercise marked with an asterisk (*) are different moves and steps which have no real translation in English, specific to tango.

Osvaldo Marrapodi's opinion is that the only way a student can learn to dance Tango correctly is through taylored attention, specific to his or her needs. We stress this point since it is really a key aspect of his teaching.
1 - In this photo (above), we can see how he shows the students the exact position one must have in oder to carry out the "giro".
2 - (above) After the theoretical demonstration begins the practical application.
3 - In the third photo (above), the students begin to apply what they have learnt whilst Osvaldo monitors every move and carries out corrections when necessary, such that what has been explained can be effectivelly understood and retained by both students.

4 - How Osvaldo Marrapodi teaches Men how to Dance Tango :

The teaching which Osvaldo undertakes with men is totally taylored to this specific situation (teaching men how to dance) since Osvaldo actually dances as would a woman.

If the classes are not carried out in this manner, men will never really know how to dance, and to Osvaldo teaching this way is a "Rule of tango" It's the only effective way for men to assimilate the "Marca" of the chest which they cannot learn by simple observation nor by simply having it only verbally explained to them.
