Our Classes
The general consensus among our teachers and facilitators, is that it is better to learn conscientiously and well, than quickly and incompletely. We spend a good deal of class time on technique, focusing on quality of movement, connection, and musicality rather than rushing to cover every tango step out there. We encourage our group members to learn the tango walk and the standard components of the dance in depth, from multiple approaches. We believe dance is a process of exploration!
