Tango Fundamentals 3 - abs. & adv. Beginners
Tango Fundamentals 3 is part of a 3 part introduction to the basic steps and concepts of Argentine Tango. Each year we will offer parts 1-3, with each part reviewing the basics of walking and the embrace during the first 2 classes. This will allow for absolute beginners to join and learn faster by mixing with more experienced students while offering new challenges for continuing students. Fundamentals 3 will introduce and explore essential figures of Argentine Tango. Focus will be on Ocho Cortado, pivoting ochos and cruzada in parallel system.
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.
Start date March 11: Sundays, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, 8 weeks - $110, $90 seniors, $55 students.
Generosity policy applies.

Intermediate Level 1 & 2 - social Tango in Close
This 6 week series with independent classes each week will use the basic steps of tango as in forward, back, side and cross opening your vocabulary to nameless and countless combinations, allowing you to explore and find your own variations. The "steps" will be supporting close embrace and musicality. We leave the BIG figures behind for a while and foster the intimate small dance often invisible to outsiders yet very powerful to the couple.
Start date March 15: Thursdays, 7 - 8 pm, 6 weeks - $75.
Second class: depending on registration: Mondays, 7:30 - 8:30pm, 6 weeks, $75

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. The format is less formal than a milonga (tango dance party), and it is a place to socialize with fellow dancers. Our space is divided into one part stationary practice and one part line of dance practice - with the first hour giving more room to the former and the second hour to the latter. It is the best place to try out tango, or to bring friends to introduce them to their first steps. Everyone welcome!
Thursdays, 8-10pm.
Drop-in fee is $5. Please email Martina to get on her mailing list to keep you posted for changes/cancellations.
