TANGO BASICS 101/102/103
These classes are a three part Basic series! They are taught in an open salon style
which is fun
and full of possibilities! Tango Basics always covers connection, walking and rhythmic variations with
valuable but subtle differences. The courses do have a different curriculum and the differences in 101,102
and 103 are as follows. Basics 101 will specifically cover rhythmic walking, ochos, paradas and catches.
Basics 102 the essentials of crossed system walking, drags and turns. Basics 103 is an entire class
staying in the crossed system and how that links to more advanced material. The classes do not have to be
taken in order but it is recommended that students take 101 or 102 as their first course.
No partner required
CLOSE EMBRACE
The close embrace style of Argentine Tango though not as flashy as its Salon Style cousin is the ultimate
slowdance! In this class we will learn how to walk together, change direction and turn while being in
close quarters! Our primary class goals are learning to lead /
follow directly from the chest and to keep the steps and rotation in balance with our partner.
Also, developing our physical connection with each other, learning and understanding the techniques used
to make this comfortable and to make our dancing confident. This style of tango was developed as a way
to navigate and still enjoy dancing on very crowded dance floors and its style reflects that. It is a
beautiful form of the Argentine tango, very traditional and it will help you understand why people
get hooked on this dance!
No partner required!
TANGO INTERMEDIATE
An intermediate class is for the more experienced dancer who has taken the entire basic series (or has
permission of the instructor) and is comfortable dancing in both open and close embrace. An
intermediate tango dancer should be comfortable with all the basic material listed above and be able to
dance it with the majority of their partners. This class goes on to explore ganchos, sacadas, boleos,
cadenas, calicitas .... the list long, and the possibilities are mind numbing (in a good way). There
is quite a leap from the basic series to the intermediate so if you are not completely comfortable
with the basics but feel you are on the edge and would like to try the next class see your instructor about
some private lessons for the transition period.
