Tango Fundamentals 3 for 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. We will celebrate our tango learning with our Milonguita (casual Milonga aka social dance party) on Thursday, May 16, replacing the community practica that night. Mark your calendar!
Starting Sunday, Mar 17, 7:15 pm - 8:30 pm, 8 weeks - $115, $95 seniors, $65 students - includes entry to Milonguita.
Snow day policy: If we have to cancel a class due to weather the class will be made up by adding time to remaining classes. Only one class will be made up. Cancellation notice will be sent by 5pm at the latest.
Generosity policy applies.

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. This January (2019) we will offer space from 7:30 to 8pm exclusively for role-specific technique practice (solo) as well as room for followers leading followers and leaders following leaders. The space will be divided into half to allow for this format - details at the practica. From 8pm until closing at 9:30pm the space will accommodate stationary practice and line of dance practice as you know it. The general practica at 8pm is the best place to try out tango, or to bring friends to introduce them to their first steps. Everyone welcome!
Thursdays, 7:30 - 9:30pm. Please note that there will be no practica on Thu, March 7 - Milonguita instead!
Drop-in fee is $5. Please email Martina to get on her mailing list to keep you posted for changes/cancellations.
