7:00-8:00 Fundamentals Intensivo- Tango 101:
In
two months we will cover all the tango basics: walking, ochos, turns
and the cross. Our goal is to show you how much fun tango is and get
you ready to go out dancing. This series is ideal for new dancers, or
experienced dancers wanting to review the basics.
8:00-9:00 Fundamentals- Practica
Stay for the practice led by some of the advanced students. We will review the material from the first class, and othe tango basics.
8:00-9:00 Intermediate+ Intensivo- Exploring Axes
Fine control of axis is the sign of an experienced dancer. We will learn to play with axis in the social dance, using hangs and leans to create lovely suspensions and to control the follow's free leg. In August we will develop the off-axis spins and turns.
