My new classes start next week. Here's a preview, and hope to see many of you! If you haven't tried my classes, come the first night and check it out! $60/6 weeks, or $12 drop-in. Address: 5340 N. Interstate Ave.
Tango Fundamentals (6 PM to 7 PM): Beginners and intermediates
This next six weeks, we focus on using steps that rebound ("rock" steps, ochos, etc.) and combining them with traveling steps, to make your dance more confident, safer on the dance floor, and more musical.
New to tango? Great! We'll have you up and running in no time! Come to class and then to to Norse Hall to put it all into your dance right away!
Intermediate dancers: Take some time to review what you know, polish it, and dance better with more people! My small group classes give you a lot of one-on-one time so that you REALLY learn the moves. Warm up in this class and work on your fundamentals, then stay for the next class and learn more material!
Creating the Magic (7 PM to 8 PM): Intermediate and advanced dancers
- Energize your tango for incredible dance experiences.
- Learn new, fun moves that WORK on the dance floor.
- Improve your musicality so more of your vocabulary fits into the dance.
- Hone your connection skills.
- Play with the energy of your partner to create new versions of moves.
- Have more fun with tango.
For me, the difference between an intermediate and advanced dancer is not the number of years dancing tango, but the ability to create an energized, musical, magical experience for the senses. We'll play games and do exercises that make that happen, mixed with new material to incorporate into your new dance!
Tango vals (8 PM to 9 PM): Intermediate and advanced dancers
This six-week session, Robert Hauk and I will teach tango vals instead of milonga. Come work on your vals (a glorious dance!). We'll focus on musicality and making the music help you get in the groove, as well as steps that work well in vals.
