Netherlands, Nijmegen. International Week at tango school `El Corte`. (on the photo) Volgada is one of the most complex movements in tango. The follower is led to lean forwards over the leader. To have a correct balance she should give some of her weight to the partner letting him play with her free leg. Volcar means to tip over. The term is used because the leaders have the impression that they drip their partners over their (leader’s) position while leading her, as if dripping a glass of water (or maybe champaine?) over themselves! `The number of couples taking the workshop is limited but all the rest are welcome to watch. The argentine tango school “El Corte” will celebrate its 20th anniversary in February 2008. The idea behind El Corte is that the best way of learning tango is to dance it. Therefore el corte organized – next to a lot of teaching – salons, practice nights, workshops, concerts, films and lectures. Salons (milongas) can go on 3 hours or longer (the New Year Maraphon goes on non-stop for 28 hours and some more as a brunch salon), some of the monthly milongas have free entrance. The amount of the so-called “friends-of-el-corte” exceed 1000 people from over the world, about 400 of them are regulars coming several times a year to this unique tango house. But as the number of participants is always limited (100-250) there is easy to get to many events.
