8:40 - 9:55pm - LEVEL 3 Argentine Tango

8:40 - 9:55pm - LEVEL 3 Argentine Tango

When we begin to learn something new in our life it is only natural that we want to progress as fast as possible. And so it’s quite normal that we skip all the important basics as we are so focused on running through all levels of learning.

When we begin we immediately want to be allowed at intermediate level classes, when we are intermediate we want to run to advance classes.

What happens is this: we skip through the most important part of learning process. We skip the part in which Tango let us learn about ourselves, our own bodies, our own strength and weaknesses, our needs. When Tango comes to your life it happens for specific reason - to cure you and to let you find your soul. Don’t miss this most important part.

Please allow minimum of 12 classes per level. a??You will be required to demonstrate your knowledge before moving to the next level.

You can participate in classes of lower level then your current one, e.g. student level 3 can take classes of level 3, 2 and 1, student level 2 can take classes level 2 and 1, student level 1 can take only level one classes.

Same applies to all 3 dances. You can be level 3 in Tango, but 1 in Vals. Take classes that match your level of knowledge.

This class focuses on more complicated tango patterns such as alternations, changes of direction, adornments and their usage on music. Musical patterns are discussed: tiempo, contratiempo, doble tiempo, syncopation etc. All basics of tango are necessary to progress in this class.
