Tango 1 Registration

This class is the perfect place to begin your Tango journey!
No Partner Necessary

Tango 1 is designed for the absolute beginner, as well as for anyone who wants to take a deeper dive into refining their tango technique, improve balance, posture, and quality of movement. This class may be repeated as many times as you wish.

Learning Objectives in this class:

Tango structure: Posture, embrace, walking, and basic lead and follow Tango Figures: The first series of tango figures will give you the structure and foundation that is essential for learning more complex figures/patterns as you grow in your dance. Without a solid foundation, learning more complex figures can not only be more difficult mentally, but can be physically unsafe for you and or your partner.

Tango Music: We will discuss the 3 most basic categories of tango music and how to tell the difference. I will recommend specific orchestras to look up for listening at home.

Tango Culture: Etiquette at a "practica" vs a "milonga", "Codigos" or rules, and when they are a big deal and when they aren't. How to find a partner, acquire a dance, and escorting your partner on and off the floor.

Tango FUN! We have so much passion and joy for dancing and teaching tango, and throughout these 10 weeks, we will be having fun and celebrating with you as you discover a new way to move and connect with your partner through music.

Tango is transformative.
It will pull you out of your comfort zone and into a world of movement, connection, and joy. Many dancers have more confidence, a more graceful stride, and improved posture after implementing tango technique into their everyday lives.
