About this Event
What is Argentine Tango?
Argentine tango is an improvised dance that relies on each dancer listening and carefully observing the other. The combination is art.
To play, a couple must listen to each other and be inspired by the music. The leaders signal the followers, who interpret through their bodies, and the couple moves to the music as a single entity. Each dancer could be moving in different directions, with many possibilities of movement, and the multiple combinations are like a game of chess, complex but beautiful.
What will I learn in class, and what are the practical requirements?
As you step into the world of Argentine tango, remember the importance of preparation. In our classes, you'll learn the walk, dissociation, pivoting, change of weight, and the embrace. But before you start, make sure you're equipped with the right footwear-leather or suede soles or socks. This will enhance your performance and protect your knees from potential damage. No rubber-soled shoes.
What level is the class?
Argentine tango is not just a dance; it's a journey of self-discovery. As you learn the basics, you'll find your unique expression and connections with your partner. It's a dance that offers endless opportunities for personal growth and connection. This class is for beginners of tango, but you may have done many other dance styles.
