Tango Foundations

Level 2 · Two 8-Week Series

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.

How it works

Start With Either Series

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 a full vocabulary of travelling and turning figures — and, more importantly, the body mechanics to improvise with them.

Please indicate your role — leader or follower — during checkout so we can keep the class balanced. We encourage exploring both roles over time.
