Beginners Tango – Group Class

About Tango

Tango has evolved into several distinct styles that are danced throughout the world. The dance developed in response to many cultural influences, including social customs, music, and changing fashions.

This class focuses primarily on American Style Tango figures while incorporating International Style Tango techniques to help dancers develop strong fundamentals, better movement, and improved partnering skills.

Tango may be danced in either an open position, where partners have more freedom of movement, or a closer position, where the connection between partners is emphasized. Throughout the class, dancers will learn proper posture, frame, footwork, lead and follow techniques, and musical interpretation.

What To Wear

• Wear comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement and flexibility.
• Choose shoes that you can comfortably walk and dance in.
• If you are not comfortable walking in heels, we recommend selecting a flat shoe or a lower, more stable heel.
• If you are looking for practice shoes, we recommend The Dancer In You.

Please Note: Proper ballroom dance shoes have suede soles and should not be worn outdoors, as this can damage the suede and affect performance on the dance floor.
