Tango Musicality I: Tango Foundations I or equivalent (may be taken simultaneously)

Connecting Breath, Beat, and Body Unlock a deeper connection to the music in this immersive musicality workshop designed for tango dancers. Beyond just keeping time, we will explore the rich layers of the Argentine tango orchestra—from the grounding pulse of the marcato to the lyrical phrasing of the violin and bandoneon. Through exercises and movement, you'll develop a deeper connection to the music, allowing you to express yourself more authentically and connect with your partner on a deeper level.

This is a progressive dance series hence it is priced as a 6-class-pack.  We encourage beginner participants to sign up for both dance class series. 

Social dance after the class!
There will be optional social dance with live/DJ music after the classes each night.
The drop-in cover for the optional social will be $25 for live music nights and $20 for non-live music nights and collected at the event. The social dance will be free/complimentary for those who are taking both dance class series.
