Argentine Tango Classes

Beginning Tango - Tuesdays, 6:30-7:30 pm -- In our beginning tango class, you will learn the fundamentals of Argentine Tango: the elements of the tango embrace and posture, and moving with a partner in simple steps, focusing on musicality and connection. Intermediate Tango - Tuesdays, 7:30-8:30 pm -- The intermediate class on Tuesday nights builds on the material from the beginning class, adding backward ochos, giros (turns), and occasionally barridas (sweeps) and sacadas (invasions). In all classes we focus on technique, connection on the dance floor, and how to apply all steps learned so far into the social setting. We follow this class with a Practica from 8:30-9:30 pm. Intermediate/Advanced Tango - Thursdays, 7:00-8:30 pm Although each class stands alone in its own right, the classes are part of a progressive series, with each week building upon the prior week. These classes are designed for those who have some tango experience; they are not for beginners. We follow this class with a Practica from 8:30-9:30 pm. Performance Tango - Mondays, 7:00-8:30 pm Take your tango to another level with Instructor Donna Tielsch assisted by Stephen Cahill. This is a great course for those who have always dreamed of performing tango on stage or just want to learn stage tango sequences to add some pizzazz to their dance. In each 4-week course, we will focus on advanced tango sequences, tango poses, and learning parts of a choreographed routine. This class is geared toward dancers with previous tango experience; it is not for beginners. No partner necessary. This is a wonderful way to build confidence in your dancing, on or off the stage. We follow this class with a Practica from 8:30-9:30 pm. $15 drop-in per class or $50 per person/$90 per couple for the month (a four-week series starting at the beginning of each month). Signing up for the Monthly Discount Program entitles you to attend all classes although it might take you a few months to move into the more advanced levels! More Info below.
