ADVANCED Argentine Tango

ADVANCED Argentine Tango

This course focuses primarily on creating the connection between partners, developing, bettering and enhancing your leading and following abilities necessary to improvise the dance. Now when you know most of the letters in alphabet we want you to be able to create words and sentences in a clear manner that your partner is able to understand.
 
You tango vocabulary will be enriched even more by adding simple adornments such as lapis, crosses and taps. You will also learn sacadas, boleos, ganchos, rebound, volcadas and colgadas in their most basic version. Strong focus is placed on musicality. You will work on phrasing, single time, double time and syncopation. The material is presented in very organized manner allowing progress from class to class.  

PLEASE NOTE: Tango – Beginner and Tango – Intermediate courses are prerequisite for Tango – Advanced course.
 
This course is meant for people who completed and successfully passed final exam for Tango – Intermediate course at Ultimate Tango. If you took classes elsewhere and you feel confident that you can follow the material presented, you are also welcome to join this class at any time. If you are not sure which level you belong to simply come to the class. The teacher will talk to you after your first class and will suggest the best way for you to proceed to make your learning process the easiest and as fast as possible. Please note that you still be required to pass the final exam to move forward. 
 
This course assumes you already know the following basics:  8 count basic with ocho forward, Ocho cortado, Walking outside partner left and right, Reboud, Double time, back and forward crosses, back and forward ochos and the difference between the two, giros to the left and right from front or back ochos, paradas and barridas, including sandwich and mordida steps. 

No partner necessary. Join at any time and continue growing, but please be prepare that we require you to pass the exam at the end of the level, to make sure you are absolutely ready for Open level Tango as well as for Open Level Milonga and Vals classes. We don’t want you confused and we don’t want to
slow down the next level class.
 
We encourage you to continue taking intermediate level classes as well as Milonga and Vals INTRODUCTION class. Since we only offer one Advanced level class we suggest making friends with you class mates and meet up with them to practice the new knowledge. If you miss the class, please make sure that you catch up either by practicing with your friends or by taking private lesson.
