The Topics:

The classes will loosely follow the curriculum below, taking into account the speed of learning in the group. Three blocks of 4 weeks each constitute a beginners course. The course is run on a Roll-on-Roll-off structure, so you can start at the beginning of any of the blocks and if you miss one, you can catch up with that block in the next term!

Block 1 

Introduction to Tango – the music, the heart beat, the line of dance.

Where to put our feet and how to find a comfortable embrace.

Using simple ingredients, we will create our very own Tango.

Block 2 

Introduction of the cross system, leading to Ochos forwards and backwards.

Recap of the material of block 1

We will explore combinations of the individual elements/movements we have already learnt.

Block 3 

In this block, we will explore Turning

We will also consolidate the ideas of the first two blocks and begin to knit together all the movements we have learnt.
