Tango Tuesday class plans
The classes on tuesdays are set up on an 8 week rotating basis.
Class # Curriculum
1The embrace, connection, walking, lead/follow technique

4 La Crusada, 8 counts?(as a frame of reference)
5 Molinete/turns

7 "Milonga", the dance
8 Close embrace

Intro level classes are beneficial for all level dancers. These skills are the foundation of the dance and are essential skills that require repetition and many hours of instruction and practice to grasp.
In any given consecutive 8 weeks, you basically get an Introductory course in Argentine Tango.
I will emphasize , this is ONLY AN INTRODUCTION, and to progress and grow in the dance requires continued study, regular practice, and social dancing.

Best to start with class #1, but Drop -ins always welcome! Come to any class you can make.

Check the web for class #1 dates.
