ABS. & ADV. BEGINNERS: Fundamentals 3
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.

Intermediate & Advanced: Ganchos for Lead and Follow
The Gancho (Hook) is a signature move in Argentine Tango and mostly executed by the follower. We will look at the dynamic and technique of the free leg in particular to allow for a sharp move to accentuate the dance. And yes, we have a gancho for the lead in store as well. The class is role-balanced. If you sign up as a single, registration will take effect with another single signing up for the complementary role.
Pre-requisite is 1-2 years of continuously dancing, feeling comfortable leading and executing ochos.
Tuesday, Mar 3, 7- 8pm, 3 weeks, $45

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!
