I am excited to announce my first public group classes since lockdown on December 2nd! Please join me for a fun, challenging evening with a group of friendly dancers on Dec. 2, 16, 23 and 30!
Here’s the plan:
7 PM: Warmup and solo technique work
7:30 PM: Apply the solo technique work to the dance, focus on working with partners
8:30 PM: Mini-practica: dance for fun, work on class content, get help from me
$15 for the whole thing!
Proof of vaccination and masks required
If you are a beginning tango dancer, please feel welcome to attend class. Many of you have dance experience in other dances, and tango takes time to learn. Feel free to take class at 7 PM and stop to watch if it gets past your bandwidth :-) If you are an adventurous beginner, go for it!
If you are a continuing tango dancer, you know that the fundamentals are the building blocks of ALL tango. We all need to practice the basics. I encourage you to attend the solo practice section of class to build your proprioception, balance, and strength before joining the more “traditional” part of class at 7:30.
Advanced dancers: There is always something more to learn about tango. That’s why I have not put a level label on this class. I will be happy to give you additional layers of work to do if what we are doing feels too easy. If you want to do more difficult versions of what we are doing, I encourage you to bring a partner in crime who dances at your level to collaborate with you. Or learn the “other role” in a safe environment. I will not require partner switching or role switching, but I encourage both.
I will switch over to two separate classes sometime in 2022, but for now, I think this serves the community best.
Note: On 2nd Thursdays, Luisa and I will be hosting a milonga upstairs at Norse Hall on a regular basis, so join us there December 9th and subsequent 2nd Thursdays at 5:30 for the lesson, 6:30 for dancing until 9(?) We are still in the planning stages :-)
