The majestic, romantic, sensual, powerful, intricate, passionate, dynamic tango is a contagious style of dance. With a rich history of music and dance development we offer classes that will technically, physically and expressively access this beautiful dancing. We start the journey of learning the tango based on the tango walks, cross, ochos (forward & back), giro (circular grapevine movement) then we progress students to paradas, barridas, ocho cortado, ganchos, sacadas, to planeos, colgadas, voleos, Lapiz, embelishments and even to show tango with lifts and tricks.
