Next beginners course starts in September - email us to be kept informed of dates.
This is an 8 week block of step-by-step lessons that introduce the rhythm and basic steps of Argentine tango. This course focuses on close embrace, musicality, navigation and the enjoyment of social dancing. There are no step patterns to learn (and then forget!), as milonguero-style tango is essentially an improvised dance; instead we will focus on simple movements and technique.
Even if you've already attended a Level 1 course, doing it again can be a good opportunity to reinforce and get a deeper understanding of the basics. We still often attend beginner classes and workshops, because you can never cover the basics too many times; each time we've gotten something more out of tango as a result.
It is not necessary to bring a partner, but registration is required so that class numbers can be kept balanced (we will be working to achieve a good balance of leaders and followers, so no one will be left standing on the sidelines!).
