SUMMER SESSION
Class Cards. We now offer 6-class cards for all 200- and 300-level courses. The cards do not expire, so you need not attend an entire session of classes consecutively in order to use them. If you purchase your card online, just ask the instructor for it when you come to class, and then bring it each time after that as well (keep it in your wallet!). Purchase class cards below with the drop-down menu.
MONDAYS @ Balance Gym (July 5-August 9)
8:30-10pm - 102: Close Embrace Technique - Dima & Noora
WEDNESDAYS @ Sport & Health (July 7-August 11)
BACK STUDIO
7-8:30pm - 200 Level: Boleos & Contra Boleos - Sharna
(200-Level classes introduce a variety of tango elements that build on the foundation of our 100 Level series. We approach learning from a conceptual point of view, exploring how elements such as boleos, ganchos, sacadas, paradas, and calecitas are contructed and how they fit into our dance.)
8:30-10pm - 300 Level: Advanced Technique & Interpretation - Sharna
(300-Level classes assume that students are already familiar with elements such as those listed above and are ready to refine the technical details of posture and position and deepen the level of expression and connection in an improvised tango. Elements requiring advanced technical skill, such as barridas, rear sacadas, follower's sacadas, volcadas, and colgadas may be introduced as the group progresses.)
FRONT STUDIO
