review the tango steps learned previously and teach
the new tango figures. Each level last 4 to 8 weeks(semester).
Drop-ins on the first 2 weeks only, or with instructor
permission. For completion of each level and,or,
fully understanding of the material, each level
is recommended to be taken at least 6 times.
* You should wear tango-compatible shoes to class:
something that will stay on your foot, and something
that pivots easily: thin leather soles are ideal
for this. If you have a pair of tango shoes, wear
them, but they are not necessary.
*The instructors like to
have all students switch partners throughout the
class so that everyone gets more experience dancing
with different people. If you would rather not switch
partners, please contact the instructors beforehand.

TANGO
II - INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
|
|
Now that you know how to dance tango let's
take it to the next level. You will learn
everything else that is missing in your tango.
This level will develop strong confidence
in Argentine tango dancing, and will improve
rhythmic interpretation as well. You will
develop a further understanding of the foundation
and how those basics relate to more complex
figures.
Tango II is a 2 year program that will cover
most of the intermediate material of Argentine
tango. Private lessons may be advised in conjunction
with those lessons to ensure proper lead and
following. After those two years students
may take the classes again and still benefit
from them as they review the same themes they
may learn new variations.
