TANGO FABRIKA CLASS COMMENTS ( CLASSES OF CECILIA GARCIA y SERKAN GOKCESU ) BY STUDENTS

|
TANGO INTERMEDIATE I, II, III, IV & V
Prerequisite: Beginner II, or equivalent
These classes are for students who finished their beginner classes and would like to continue their studying.
We will introduce the fundamental structural elements of Argentine Tango, as well as continue to work on pivoting, disassociation, well-balanced walking, and front and back ochos. Focus is on improving connection, communication, and musicality.
In Intermediate II and beyond we will focus on more details of the ocho cortado and turns (molinets/giros). Understanding these structural elements, students will develop an improvisational and more personal dance, not just like memorizing steps. We will work on experimenting and creating personal and natural combinations of steps.

CLASS COMMENTS OF CECILIA GARCIA Y SERKAN GOKCESU BY STUDENTS
1. I love their classes! Cecilia has a very special gift: She can articulate how movement originates in the core. The center of the body around the axis. The dance stars here in the body. Thank you Cecilia!
2. The teachers are very imaginative and have a lot to offer. I am a beginner, so it's harder to follow but I am learning new things!
3. I loved it! Very concise instructions. Me gusta muchisimo! Volver� la semana proxima! Great teaching!

Thanks a bunch!
6. J'aime beaucoup la m�thode d'enseignement de Serkan et Cecilia!!
7. Cecilia and Serkan need to move to montreal!! I loved the class. I don't think I had the right background ( I am into my second trimester of tango.. ) but it was challenging and showed the base. Both of them have great personalities, it was a pleasure to have them as teachers. Also very talented and inspiring. Thanks Tango Fabrika for having them!!
8. This is torture!! But I feel a lot more confident and feel like my body moves with music! You are great!!!
9. Serkan y Cecilia are simply great ! Not only they are good dancers but also amazing teachers! Followers benefit as much as leaders , the progression is acurate and respectful and they are not here to impress but to see the students improve. Cecilia is always so precise and clear and her presence lightens the whole class! Thanks a lot!! - Manu

15. I really appreciated the instruction for women! Enjoyed the class!
16. Le cours �tait plus un cours d'ajustenant et position du corps j'ai au partenaire. C'�tait une autre fa�on de d�placement dans l'espace. J'ai bien aim� quoique un peu diff�rent de la technique habituelle plus th�orique. - Christine
17. J'ai trouv� le cours int�ressant. Ils ont bien d�cortiqu� les mouvements pour qu'on les comprennent bien. J'ai aussi aim� la fa�on dont ils ont demontr� l'intention dans la marche. J,ai aussi trouv� int�ressant de faire comprendre les different points et '' sortant '' du tango

22. Serkan y Cecilia are awesome!! They emphasize how important it is to be present in ones body, to dance with intention. They are good at providing multiple ways to connect with the movement which is great since everyone learns in different ways. I came all the way from vancouver to dance montreal!
23. Je trouve que le cours est tr�s bien! We do learn a lot of things, somethings too many at once! There is a line of idea. We start at A and finish at Z which is good because it allows us to understand the movement. My only comment to improve is comprehensive. I know I have to improve and I would like to receive more personal comments about what I do well or not.
