Cost $15 for one class or $25 for two.  Payment by cash or check.  Leather soled shoes required for class.

11:00 AM - Almost Steps, Redos and Mini-movements: (Beginning\Intermediate) Having trouble finding things to do when the milonga floor is really tight? Always wishing you had more space and feel you need new steps? This is a concept class to help you adjust some common movements from simple to more complex to make your close embrace dancing more JUICY on a tight floor. Class runs about 1 hr 15 min. (At least two months of tango experience helpful)

12:30 PM - Using Sacadas in Close Embrace: (Intermediate) We’ll explore the basic idea of sacadas verses single axis turns for close embrace and explore how to combine techniques that will allow a pretty (and tight) leg wrap that can be used even on a fairly crowded floor. Pre-req: At least 4 months tango experience and preferably some experience out at a milonga to understand the types of social conditions you’ll be dancing in as leader and follower. Class runs about 1 hr 15min.
