16-25 Sep 2022 Tango Funtensive- an Argentine Tango immersion!
Come join us for a focused series of Argentine Tango lessons!
No partner/previous experience needed for beginner track (level 1). Experience required for level 2 and level 3 tracks.
Every year we teach different movements and repeat core movements. Repeat to master!
METRO ACCESSIBLE VIA SILVER LINE!
Experience the Tango, and experience a wonderful addition to your life.You never know where it may take you!
We will slowly ramp up your tango skills each night. You will learn basics such as Boleos, Sacadas, Volcadas, rhythms such as Tango-Waltz, leading and following (throughout), social skills, etiquette, and more. You will also learn what those words mean! By the end, you will have developed skills that will enable you to function socially on a tango floor, and you will have an opportunity to try them out at a “Milonga”, or social dance. You will make a lot of dance friends while doing so
Instructors
Todd and Migle! Todd has 25 years of dance experience behind him, and Migle has more! 🙂 They have studied all of the social dances extensively as well as ballet, modern, tap, jazz, afro-cuban, and aerobics. They bring all of this experience into their tango while striving to keep true to the core of Tango! They teach a systematic yet artistic approach, using neutral technique. Todd is a certified DVIDA instructor and uses the rigorous DVIDA syllabus as a backbone for the immersions, and both have influences from Buenos Ares and around the world.
