Classes

As classes tend to build upon previous material, dancers will benefit by beginning with the first class each day.

Registration

We appreciate your pre-registration, and work to maintain gender/role-balance in those classes where partners are not required. Registration may be closed upon "optimum registration," at our discretion.


Levels

All Levels includes beginners (not absolute beginners) through advanced level. Dancers in All Levels classes may choose to work with a single partner or rotate partners.

Intermediate Level generally means at least one year of dedicated Argentine Tango study and frequent social dancing in the apilado embrace. Dancers in Intermediate Level classes may choose to work with a single partner or rotate partners.

Advanced-Intermediate & Up Level assumes the technique/ understanding commensurate with 3 or more years dancing Argentine Tango in the Milonguero Style.


Partners

Partners are encouraged, but not required, for Saturday classes. Rotation is optional.

Partners are required for Sunday classes. Enrolling with a partner ensures that you will be working with a compatible dancer of your choice in these more experienced level classes with no partner rotation. More experienced dancers are invited to exchange roles with their partners if desired; same gender partners are welcome.

Men are also welcome to attend the Monday Women's Technique class.


Class Times

We appreciate your arrival at least 5-10 min. in advance to change shoes, etc. Our intent is to start & end classes on time, but please understand that circumstances vary.

Food

There are 30 minute breaks scheduled between weekend classes. We’ll put on some music and provide light snacks. Tap water &/or pitchers of filtered water will be available; please bring your own bottled water if desired.
