- Level 1: Foundations. This month long course is an introduction to the social form of Argentine Tango as danced in Buenos Aires. No previous experience necessary! You will learn a code of movement that will get you started with this improvised dance. Embrace, posture, connection with your partner, and basic navigation on the dance floor will be emphasized. Most students need 1-3 months to acquire these fundamental skills to move onto Level 2. We encourage students registered for Level 2 or 3 to join this class (free of charge) to solidify their fundamental walking technique and understanding of "la crusada", the cross. Cultural information and etiquette about Argentine Tango is presented in all class levels. You can register for Level 1 classes onsite OR online through MarinLearn.com
- Level 2: Walking and Ochos: While building on material from Level 1, this class moves into the exciting world of parallel and cross systems, forward and back "ochos", and "giros y molinetes" (turns). The foundation and technique of these skills will be emphasized then transformed into interesting combinations to use on the dance floor. (We will also sprinkle fun adornments along the way.) Repeating this class for several months will help you develop confidence and sophistication on the dance floor. (Concurrent attendance in Level 1 is strongly encouraged.)
- Mini-Practica: for all classes practica, cultural info and demos
- Level 3: Technique applied: Using the foundational work you acquired in Levels 1 & 2, we introduce and refine how to lead and follow ganchos, voleos, barridas, alterations, planeos, volcadas, colgadas and more....... The fun never ends in tango! (NOTE: If you do not know how to confidently move in and out of crossed and parallel systems, lead and follow forward and back ochos and lead and follow a turn to the right and left in both systems.... you need to continue to take the Level 2 class before moving onto Level 3. Do not make the mistake of jumping to quickly to another level without building a good foundation. (Concurrent attendacne in Level 2 is strongly encouraged)
- Mini-Practica: Included with class for levels 1, 2 and 3.
