(Intermediate Students should contact Shelley to register for that class.)
Our Beginner’s series is a comprehensive introduction to the art of Argentine Tango. We focus on the basics of Argentine tango including:
- Posture and Creating a Comfortable Embrace
- The 6 Essential Steps of Argentine Tango
- Improvisation, Flow, and Musicality
- The Art and Responsibilities of Leading and Following
- How to Dance at the Milongas (Tango Dance Parties)
- History and Culture of the Dance and Music.
The primary focus, of our classes, is preparing our students to dance at the milongas. Milongas are tango dance parties, where tango dancers gather in order to dance socially with one another. There are usually two or three each week, in Atlanta. This is where you use what we teach you in our classes.
What to Expect and What to Wear
You do not need a partner to take the Beginner classes. We switch partners during the class and make sure that everyone gets plenty of dance time. We recommend that you wear shoes that fit comfortably and snugly, preferably with leather bottoms that allow you to eaisly pivot on a hardwood floor. No flip-flops or platform shoes.
Intermediate and Advanced dancers are always welcome to attend these classes for free, in order to, clean up your fundamentals.
