Argentine Tango

Argentine Tango was born in the late 1800's in Buenos Aires, and has been changing and evolving ever since. It is a beautiful dance form that provides endless opportunity for improvisation and playfulness.

April Series (4/1- 4/29 2025): Playing With The Feet!

Progressive series with Leslie Gordon

Everyone will learn to lead and follow.

No need to bring partners, we switch regularly.


7:00-8:00  Fundamentals- Playing with the Feet

Flirting with your feet: the cross, crossed system, touching and sandwiches. This series is ideal for new dancers, or experienced dancers working on fundamentals, or the other role. 

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 other tango basics.

8:00-9:00  Intermediate+ - Understanding Sacadas:

Weak ochos often limit intermediate and advanced moves. We’ll work on core and axis technique, and transition into sacadas for both leads and follows .
