Fundamentals for Social Tango: Our group class!
Tuesdays, 7 - 8:30 pm
This is a fun, relaxed class focusing on all the fundamentals of close-embrace Argentine tango. In these classes you will learn the social form of tango danced in the traditional dance halls of Buenos Aires, otherwise known as Milonguero Style tango. It is characterized by a deep, warm and comfortable embrace and the ability to navigate easily on social dance floors. This is a non-flash style based on a natural walk, focused on improvisation, mutual creativity, and a core connection with your partner. This style is accessible for regular folks of all ages as it has been throughout, and since, the Golden age of tango.
We welcome brand new dancers as well as more experienced students wanting to work with the fundamental technique of close embrace tango: How we develop movement and communicate clearly with our partners; how to best find balance and stability; and, how to create a consistent connection with our partners that allows us to share the joy of the dance. In addition, you will learn figures to use improvisationally that navigate well on the social dance floor. This class will prepare you for dancing in the Milongas (social dance events). Partners not necessary. This class is taught by Liz Haight who has been teaching Milonguero style tango for 21 years. Emma Simmons assisting. This is a drop-in class. $25. If you are coming for the first time and/or would like more info call or text Liz at 505-699-0106. We now are carpooling from the Co-op!
