Dear friends,

Tuesday Jun 15th we are starting new 4-week series of  weekly Intermediate and pre-Intermediate classes.

Pre-Intermediate classes will be intended for those who has finished at least one Fundamentals series with us, but do not feel confident enough to join Intermediate class. In these classes we will gradually introduce elements of tango vocabulary, working on there technique and musicality options.

Theme of Intermediate classes will be “Simple Combinations for Rhythmic Tango”. We will work on precise expression of tango rhythm patterns using simple elements (walk, cunita, ocho cortado, simple turns). For ladies we will focus on developing skills of active following. Also, by popular request, at the beginning of each class we will do some exercises for balance improvement.

“Social Tango - 1″, Mar.29 - Apr.26, Monday nights 7:00-8:00 PM @ Studio Tango - RTP

Argentine Tango is about the connection between the partners, the music and the musicality of the movement, and the body language that allows us to improvise and to communicate with our partners on the social dance floor.  And yes, it is not only “passionate” or “romantic” but it is also fun
In the  “Social Tango for Beginners” level, students will be exposed to the foundational elements of tango as a “body language”, to music and musicality along with the social dance etiquette, the “codes” of communication in the social dance setting, history  of tango and tango culture.
Concepts: the invitation to the dance, “tango embrace” , “connection” between the partners and among all the dancers on the social dance floor, the “posture”, the “tango walk”, “parallel and cross walking systems”, “crossing steps” (i.e. “ochos” etc), the “turns” (”giros”), the “music/musicality”; and some ideas how to use these concepts to improvise which is the “heart and soul” of social tango.

$60/5 week/person if paid at the door or after March __ ($10 discount over the price of a 5-week session for those who have a valid undergrad/grad student ID)
