Conversational Tango - Review All Essential Tango Elements in 8 Workshops

Tango is a conversation. A live, improvised exchange between two people who have to listen as much as they speak.

To have a real conversation, you need vocabulary. Just enough to say something meaningful, and to understand what's being said back.

This summer, we're going back to the building blocks. Each Sunday, one element in its simplest, most usable form. The moves that show up in every tanda, in every embrace, at every level: ocho, molinete, barrida, sacada, boleo, gancho, volcada, colgada.

If you've never learned them, this is where you start. If you learned them once and they've gone fuzzy, this is where you get them back. If you think you know them already, this is where things get interesting.

No prerequisites. Open to all levels, except for Beginners. Each class stands on its own, and all eight together build something solid.
