INTENSIVE WORKSHOP
An Intensive Workshop is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a specific topic. This experience is designed to give your mind and body the time and repetition to absorb the material being taught. An Intensive workshop focuses on one particular topic and explores this concept through individual and partner exercises. The goal of an intensive is to give you an immediate way to implement the new skill into your dance. An Intensive workshop can be tailored to the particular needs of your community. Choose from an Intensive theme that has already been developed or Fernanda can work with you on choosing a theme and crafting a schedule that is ideal for you.
Intensives Themes:
Energy Work Between Partners
In this Intensive we explore how to create clear communication between the two roles (Proposer / Leader + Partner / Follower). We will work on how to harness the energy of your partner to create any of the basic or complex tango figures.
Musicality: Rhythmic Vs. Melodic
Intellectualizing music is a good way to start understanding it. However, to feel it in your body is the ultimate goal for a dancer. This Intensive will look at particular sequences of tango vocabulary and see how it is different when adapted for rhythmic orchestras vs. melodic orchestras.
Circular Vs. Linear
This Intensive explores circular movements that help you to stay in place versus linear movements which will move you in the line of dance.
Mechanics of Argentine Tango Movements
This Intensive is designed to help you increase the quality of your dancing and the enjoyment of the dance with your partner. Work on using clear structure of basic elements to build your dance.
Roles in the Tango
This Intensive is divided into two phases: Individual work with the Proposer / Leader and individual work with the Partner / Follower to under the roles.
1 Week Teacher + Advanced Dancer Training
This Intensive will help hone skills you need to be a teacher.

TESTIMONIALS
The best way to understand Fernanda as a teacher is to hear what her students have to say about her...
The best way to understand Fernanda as a teacher is to hear what her students have to say about her...
One tanda with Fernanda Ghi is a life changing experience. The past and future of tango are within the confines of her body. In her embrace you will find decades of tango history, the steps, saccadas, pivots, subtle shifting of weight, and the memory of gritty voices narrating the intense beauty of being human. And, if you pay attention, you will get a glimpse of what tango has yet to achieve as a dance, an art form, and a universal language. - Ion
Not all outstanding dancers are exceptional teachers but Fernanda is that unusual combination of the two. It is rare to come across someone who understands the craft of tango with such depth. She combines that understanding with genuine enthusiasm to help people learn and improve. A generous gifted artist, dancer and teacher. - Jyoti
Fernanda has a unique gift of giving - knowledge of her art, passion for high quality, and endless energy. Her presence is contagious! She is my tango magnet. - Marina
“Peel the layers and see in yourself what is holding you back”, Fernanda often would say to me! She has taught me technique and fundamentals, musicality and artistry but perhaps the most important skill I have learned from her has been to stay connected within me to that place of honesty and vulnerability where one can create a dance that is uniquely poetic, and genuine!
Thank you Fernanda for not letting me get away with staying on the surface but rather to be all that I can be in my dance by digging deep to remain, open, vulnerable and honest." - Assa
I love taking tango classes with Fernanda! She has a deep understanding of body mechanics and a very sharp eye. Every small correction she makes has an impact on how I feel and enjoy the dance. As a follower, connection, embrace, and circularity of movement are more important than learning step after step. That’s why I stay with Fernanda year after year!" - Ana
Because I have such high standards I choose to learn from the best teachers. When it comes to learning the Art of dancing authentic Argentine Tango, Fernanda Ghi is one of my top choices. Fernanda is not only passionate and dedicated but what makes her so extraordinary is her understanding, embodiment and knowledge of the dance! Thank you Fernanda for inspiring us all to love this art!" - Victoria
Fernanda brings to her work an unusual combination of intelligence and intuition plus a laser-like focus. Does she expect the same from others? You bet! She is continually going deeper into the dance, both personally and professionally, a true artist." - Jennifer
Fernanda embodies the heart, soul and physical essence of tango. Studying tango with Fernanda has been such a privilege. She has a keen eye, a loving approach and has a deep understanding of body mechanics all of which leads to instruction that is deeply philosophical and magically physical. In addition to her endless energy in her teaching, she is also an extraordinary person who is as compassionate and kind as she is a magnificent dancer. Last year, without any hesitation, Fernanda opened the studio and shared her talents to raise money for the Jimmy Fund. As with everything, she approached this highly successful event with full out energy, creativity and generous heart. I am so grateful to have her as my teacher and to be part of the wonderful Artango community." - Marsha
