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.

September Series (9/2 - 9/30 2025): Playing with Feet and Shared Axis Turns   

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+ - Shared Axis Turns:

How does a turn move to a shared axis? Learn to enter shared axis from ochos and turns, and play with this in social dancing.  Develop key techniques for both leads and follows.
