Classes Requirements

 

General for All Classes:

 

Wear smooth soles shoes that allow you to pivot on the ball of your foot. Please do not wear street shoes to classes. Please be respectful of other dancers: dress appropriately, be conscious of breath and body odors, and please limit cologne or perfume for those that are sensitive.

 

Beginning Class:

 

Everyone is welcome! No previous dance experience is necessary. Singles and couples are welcome. We encourage, though don't require, couples to rotate with other dancers. This helps with learning and dancing with your partner too! Try to attend the whole series. You can usually still join the second week of the series if you miss the first week. You can also catch up for missed classes if you attend a practica. Attend practicas if you can. It will help you learn more quickly.

 

Continuing Class:

 

Instructor approval is required for attending the continuing class. Students need to have some familiarity with the basic elements of Argentine Tango including: the cross, ochos, walking, embrace, molinete, rock steps, touch steps, and pauses! It's usually recommended for students to take two or three beginning classes before progressing to Continuing Tango and check with the instructors of the Continuing class to see if you are ready!
