7:20 - 8:35pm - LEVEL 2 Tango Vals

7:20 - 8:35pm - LEVEL 2 Tango Vals

We assume you know that in Milongas we actually dance to 3 different musics: Tango, Milonga and Vals. And no - Vals is not a faster and happier Tango. It definitely is faster, and definitely happier, but has its own steps, its own musicality and its own rules.

You have two choices - you can start to learn all 3 types of Tango at the same time. It will be difficult, but rewarding. a??Or: You can start with Tango and only after you advance you start learning Vals.

This class is meant for Tangueros who already dance Vals but wish to work on understanding musicality and defining musical accents. We will work on more complex Vals patterns and discuss general Vals rules for improvising and creating your own steps.
