Argentine Tango

Argentine Tango was born in the late 1800's in Buenos Aires, and has been changing and evolving ever since. It is a beautiful dance form that provides endless opportunity for improvisation and playfulness.

More than anything, tango is fun, social and addictive, and we're always trying to corrupt new people.

Progressive series with Leslie Gordon

Everyone will learn to lead and follow.

No need to bring partners, we switch regularly.

Introduction to all the basic turns in tango. Learn to move smoothly around the dance floor, in and out of turns with walking and ochos. Develop key techniques for both leads and follows. This series is ideal for new dancers, or experienced dancers working on fundamentals, or the other role.

Stay for the practice led by some of the advanced students. We will review the material from the first class, and other tango basics.

8:00-9:00  Intermediate+ - Sweet Sweeps:

Take “playing with the feet” to the next level. We'll learn sweeps for both leads and follows, and discover how they can smoothly link together different steps. Spice up your social dancing.
