Discover the passion and elegance of Argentine tango; a dance rich in history, culture and tradition. In this introductory class, we will focus on the basic structure and technique of tango with an emphasis on connection and embrace. No prior dance experience or partner is required. Rotating to practice with different partners is highly encouraged as this enhances the learning process and develops the important skills of leading and following. Please bring shoes without rubber soles so that it is easy to pivot on the floor. Join us for a delightful introduction to tango and experience the joy of connecting with others through this beautiful and expressive dance.
