November 2024

Our lessons are progressive in nature. If you are new to tango, or prefer to work through a logical progression, please consider attending lessons starting with the first Friday of the month. As we get deeper into a month, topics will be more in depth and build on previous lessons.

The first 30 mins of each Friday class are devoted to individual guided warmup in front of the mirror. If you would prefer not to warm up with us, feel free to arrive closer to the end of the initial 30 mins.

No reservations are necessary to come to a class. Just show up! Clothing-wise, there is no dress-code. Please wear what is comfortable. For shoes, we recommend any shoes that you can easily pivot it, ideally with a leather sole. For followers, we recommend heels, even if they are short. If you are unsure that your shoes will work, grab a pair of socks just in case.

Dancing can be taught in many different ways. We’ve been incredibly lucky to study with some of the most impactful names in Tango: Chicho Frumboli & Juana Sepulveda, Carlitos Espinoza & Noelia Hurtado, Javier Rodriguez, Pablo Rodriguez & Corina Herrera, Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Ann, Victor & Aksana Golub and many more, and what these maestros have said, made a great impact on our dancing and our teaching.

What we aim to bring to the craft, is our distillation of the knowledge given to us by the many people we have learned from and danced with.

What may surprise you as you come into Tango, is we will focus very little on memorizing steps or sequences. Instead, we will work hard to understand the why and how of each movement, and will polish and tune this movement to add it to our repertoire. We will also work to commit this and every other movement to muscle memory, and unlock the ability for us to use movement to illustrate and accompany the music.

This, we believe is the essence of Tango: the ability to express yourself freely to the inspiration of the music, without limitation to your repertoire of movements, but with special attention to your partner and the experience you are sharing as a couple.
