Read below for more details and we will have a web page up soon. Friday, 7-9pm, Path to Tango A workshop designed to help you take your first steps in Tango for NEWCOMERS OR for more experienced dancers, to refresh, review, reinforce and refine. Information, practical application and feedback, including technique for the embrace and walking, with a strong emphasis on comfort, connection, musicality and navigation. Saturday, 11am-2:30pm, Next Steps in Tango While continuing to reinforce fundamentals in walking, connection and musicality, we will explore technique for pivoting, change of directions and turning and begin to move into a close embrace. Depending on the time, and the group desire and progression, we will also work in the 2 systems of walking, and explore "la cruzada". This INTRO weekend focus is to offer you the skills you need to get you out on the floor and enjoying this wonderful social dance! Saturday Night, 8-11pm, Practilonga! A practilonga is a relatively new social dancing event that combines the relaxed etiquette of a practica with many of the same elements you will find at a more formal milonga.
