Regular Group Classes
Beginner Courses
Argentine Tango is one of the most romantic and
intimate dances, demanding a close connection between partners. All movements are led by men and women have to follow with
their sensitivity and awareness of her leader's energy. When you learn with us, you will discover that you don’t need
to memorize any choreography. In tango, people can dance with a stranger and feel perfect connection if they can lead and
follow well. That’s why Tango is said to be a 3-mins love affair when you dance with all your heart.
In these
introduction courses, the foundation elements of Argentine Tango will be taught, such as the Basic Steps, Cross, Ocho and
Parada among others. And we will focus on some core techniques as well, like walking, and framing techniques in leading and
following. In addition, we will also do demonstrations to different kinds of music, like Vals, milonga (fast Tango music),
Nuevo Tango music and also traditional Tango music. After this course, students should be able to start dancing in milongas
(Tango parties) and know more about different kinds of the dance and music.
No need to bring
a partner with you, partners are rotated during each class.
Instructors
: Raymond and Lily, and assisting teachers

Ladies Technique Class
recurring classes Suitable

Please wear pants and
bring a pair of socks, and of course Tango shoes to classes. Floor works and stretching exercises will be included
to strengthen your body/leg power.
Different solo exercises will be used to get you (and your body muscle) understand the techniques in tango with details in
the movements including walking, ochos, giro, boleo, ganchos, etc. Embellishment will also be introduced to
make you look more elegant and stylish in dancing. Beside, secrets of inducing more sensual
feelings in the dance will also be shared.
The exercises taught in class can be done at home, it's a good way to prepare ourselves to be able to do the movement on our own with
perfect balance and with ease, so that when we dance with men, we can concentrate on following their lead, and so, you
can be more sensitive, and at the same time, be naturally elegant!
