Beginning Argentine Tango- Milonguero Style- Take your first steps in to the world of Argentine tango. In this class you will learn to develop a connection with your partner and explore the tango embrace.  Among the topics we'll cover are the technique of movement, posture, connecting with your partner, the music, open embrace, milonguero style close embrace, elements of walking, rock turn to the left, rock turn to the right, and other beginner elements.  For a full breakdown of the beginner syllabus (which is covered over a period of 2 months), see the Introduction to Tango page of the website. No partner necessary. No experience required. Partner rotation mandatory.

Who should take this class? If you have no previous dance experience, or if you have no previous experience with Milonguero style dancing, this is where you want to start. Even if you have learned another style of tango, we may be covering topics you might not have seen and will need for the Intermediate classes. Please contact us if you are unsure where to begin.

Intermediate Tango* continues from the Beginning Argentine Tango series. We will continue to refine your study of body movement, technique and continue to explore the possibilities of the embrace. Some of the intermediate concepts include: more advanced Milonguero style movements like the ocho cortado and it's variations, paradas, ochos, variations on ochos, giros, dancing in same foot (cross) system, sacadas, crusadas, crusada varaitions and transferring your vocabulary to the other two dances in the Argentine Tango family- Milonga and Vals. We will continue to emphasize  improvisation & musicality of the dance to traditional tango, nuevo tango & alternative music. No partner necessary. Partner rotation mandatory.

*Intermediate Tango is non-sequential, you just need to be comfortable with the elements we cover in the Beginner series before joining, which generally takes about 2 months for many people.
