Foundations is where your dancing takes shape — two complementary eight-week series, taken in either order. Inside every figure we build the technique that makes it work: axis, pivot, connection, and musicality.
Level 3
Tango Foundations 1 & 2
Two 8-week series, either order
Open práctica Thursdays

Tuesdays, Jan 5-Feb 23
Tuesdays 8 PM · 8 weeks
01 Suspension and elasticity — stretching time inside the movement
02 The hamaca, rebounds, and rebound-driven changes of direction
03 Back crosses and chains, from the ocho cortado and beyond
04 Barridas, and your first socially sized off-axis: colgada and volcada
05 Cadenas — linking it all into continuous motion
Tuesdays, Mar 2 - Apr 20
Tuesdays 8 PM · 8 weeks
01 Phrasing and the eight-count — hearing where the music breathes
02 The pause as vocabulary, and dynamics as expression
03 The same figure, different orchestra: D'Arienzo to Di Sarli
04 Vals — cross-rhythms and choosing your beats
05 Milonga — lisa first, then traspié
06 Improvisation — exiting any figure into any other
The two series stand on their own, so you can begin with whichever is running when you're ready. Dancers who complete both leave with deeper understanding of the dynamics int he dance and how to change them for more satisfying dance.
Please indicate your role — leader or follower — during checkout so we can keep the class balanced. We encourage exploring both roles over time.
