This 8 week class introduces Argentine Tango for the social dancer in fun and creative ways. We’ll work on different walks, turns, and ochos, using them to navigate the dance floor. Additional topics include musicality, technique, bodywork, and social codes. Emphasis will be on improving partner communication (mostly by getting rid of “noise”) to allow for improvisation and personal expression. By the end of the class, you’ll be able to dance at an actual Milonga (tango dance party).
Class is open to all levels. Thick socks are encouraged to be worn at the first class instead shoes.
No new students accepted after the second class on March 24th.
