ABS. & ADV. BEGINNERS: Fundamentals 2
Tango Fundamentals 2 is part of a 3 part introduction to the basic figures and concepts of Argentine Tango. Each year we offer parts 1-3, with each part reviewing the basics of walking, embrace and cuadrado during the first 2 classes.This allows for absolute beginners to join and learn faster by mixing with more experienced students while offering new challenges for continuing students. Fundamentals 2 will introduce and explore the tango basics with a focus on turning. Turns in tango are based on the grapevine pattern, known in tango as molinete or giro. Please bring indoor shoes with leather soles to allow for pivoting (leaders and followers). If you don't have shoes with leather soles, please talk to us - there are options. The class will be role-balanced. If you sign up as a single, registration will take effect with another single signing up for the complementary role.

If you sign up as a single, registration will take effect with another single signing up for the complementary role.

Community Practica
The tango practica is the learning environment for dancing tango. A place for solo practice as well as working out new moves with one or more partners, discussing and trying ideas with other dancers, receiving guidance from instructors and where the less experienced learn from and with the more experienced dancers. It is less formal than a milonga (tango dance party), and it is a place to socialize with fellow dancers. Everyone welcome! A good place to explore your first tango steps, too!
