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.
