Shake It Up Baby (Advanced: Instructor Permission Required)
Tuesday February 28 ◊ 8:15-9:30 ◊ Carina & Dante ◊ $30 ◊ Register
Comfortable with the classical? Try something new! Nuevo, that is. Take a step back to open embrace, put on a little Otros Aires, and learn how to break out of the mold and get creative with your tango. Go ahead, break all the rules.

You Turn Me Right Round (Advanced Beginner-Pre-Intermediate)
Wednesday February 29 ◊ 7:00-8:15 ◊ Carlos Paredes ◊ $30 ◊ Register

Sequences and Musicality (Pre-Intermediate-Advanced)
Wednesday February 29 ◊ 8:15-9:30 ◊ Carlos Paredes ◊ $30 ◊ Register
Find yourself returning to tried and true patterns on the dance floor? You’ve got all the ingredients–now it’s time to start putting them together in new ways! Work on your connection to the music, add a dash of creativity, and let the inspiration blossom.

Giant Steps & Open Embrace (All Levels)
Thursday March 1 ◊ 7:30-9:30 ◊ Dante ◊ $40 ◊ Register
Let’s move! Sometimes we can free up our dance by working bigger– find the confidence to take space, lead with power and follow with energy. These sequences will be playful and adventurous, and we fit them to big orchestras and contemporary. Stay until 10 for mini-Practica, followed by a class field trip to the nearby milonga La Nacional.

Beginners’ Tango Toolkit Workshops

Beginners’ Tango Toolkit
Sunday March 25 ◊ 5:00pm-6:00pm ◊ $25 ◊

Meant for the beginning tanguera/tanguero, this workshop will teach you everything you need to know to get out on the social dance floor and have fun! Immersing yourself in the world of Argentine tango is about more than just steps– here, in addition to learning the different rhythms you will hear through the night at any milonga, you will learn the social codes that are based in the culture and history surrounding Argentine tango. These social codes, or codigos, are universal in the tango community. Whether you dance in New York, Buenos Aires, Paris, or Portland, knowing how to use the cabaceo, what are tandas and cortinas– and even “the penalty box” –will help you feel at home at any milonga.
