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.
