Level 1 - Tango Initiation (8 weeks) with Ramu & Galatea
Our most popular gateway to tango!
Learn the fundamentals of Argentine Tango, including balance, posture, musicality, and technique for elegant tango movement — all while learning to improvise and connect with a partner.
We encourage the study of both roles, role-switching, and dancing with a variety of partners. (Staying with one partner is also welcome).
No partner or previous dance experience required. Registration required.

Level 2 - BOLEOS with Joerg, Sarah, Nick, Galatea
This 4 week series will focus on developing technique, timing, and musicality behind one of tango’s signature movements - Boleos.
You will learn the mechanics of linear and circular boleos, improve balance and connection with a partner, and explore how to lead and follow boleos smoothly in both open and close embrace.
Each week builds progressively from foundational body control to more dynamic and expressive combinations suitable for the social dance floor.

Level 2 - SACADAS & TURNS with Joerg, Sarah, Nick, Galatea
Turns and sacadas are one of tango’s most natural pairings. In this 4-week series, we’ll explore how rotational movement and playful leg displacement work together to create the "flow" - fluid, dynamic dancing.
Expect clear technique, musicality, connection, and plenty of satisfying “aha” moments as we build combinations that feel effortless and expressive on the social floor.
