What to expect
Before you come to classes, you need to know that Tango is more than just steps, unlike ballroom style dances, which can be more structured; tango is a partnered social dance, where two people dance embracing, while listening to and interpreting the music in a very unique way. Tango is completely improvisational; with every step being an absolute discovery in the moment. Tango is about connection with your partner and to the music, so it requires that both partners pay full attention to each other during the dance. Tango is about “posture, movement and intention.” (Alex Krebs). By coming to classes you’ll learn the leading and following techniques required to dance tango comfortably, while developing your own unique vocabulary to use in the dance floor. No previous tango experience or partner is necessary.
