Beginner, Pre- Intermediate, Intermediate, Advance and All level classes offered. Tango is a highly improvisational dance that is built in layers.
Beginners are guided in understanding the structure of tango from the start. In a relaxed atmosphere, students are coached in the skills of leading and following — as well as the etiquette and culture of Argentine Tango. As students progress to the different levels more complex figures and technique are taught with lots of personal attention and a great sense of humor!

No partner needed for any class! What is Argentine Tango? A type of music characterized by its passionate feeling (heard in the “cries” of the bandoneón, a concertina-like instrument essential part of tango). The dance is characterized by an improvisational & heartfelt approach to the interpretation of the music & includes dramatic pauses & syncopated rhythms.What is Milonga? The most cheerful & lively in feeling & tempo, with a steady 2/4 rhythm. The dance emphasizes this rhythm with a step on each beat & sometimes on the off beats as well. What is Vals? Argentine waltz music, less dramatic than that of tango, & characterized by a flowing 3/4 rhythm. In the dance, tango steps are adapted to the graceful flow of that rhythm, & the emphasis is on creating movements that are smooth and gliding. Tango, milonga & vals are the three rhythms that are played at milongas (tango dance club) where the milonguero/a (person whose life revolves around dancing & tango) goes to dance and socialize!
