Summer 2024 Schedule
Schedule

We kick off our summer with a weekend of workshops, practica and other festivities during our Pride Weekend Celebration, June 7-9.

Our summer courses run progressively for 6 weeks from June 14 until July 19. Whether you are an absolute beginner or have been dancing for a few years, we have something for you.

In addition, we offer pre-milonga Technique Classes are on 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month (June 23, July 14, 28; August 11, 25).

Level 1 - Tango Initiation with Wonseon & Nick
Our most popular gateway to tango!

Learn about balance, posture, basic musical education and technique for tango movement, while improvising with a partner. Class vocabulary includes the tango “walk”, cunitas (rock steps), the follower’s cross, back ochos, basic navigational tools and introductory level adornments.

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 required. Must register.

Location:
Balance Gym Capitol Hill (3rd floor)

Fridays 6:30-8:45pm
June 14 - July 19

Level 2 - Tango Turns with Joerg, Sarah, Amanda & Ramu
When the Going gets Tough, the Tough get Turning!

Turns are the most useful "tools" for navigating crowded dance floors. In this series, we will develop a good grasp of technique (theory, timing) for "giros" and "molinettes". We will work together to explore the subtleties and changes of dynamic to achieve smooth, powerful and effortless turns.
