4 basic steps to get you ready for social dancing
-
EMBRACE
The abrazo (embrace) is the heart of tango. Let your walls down and dive into the heart of human connection and intimacy.
-
CONNECT
Tango is not about steps. It is about energy. Learn to tune in, respond, and build real connection with another human in motion.
-
CREATE
Once you have the basics, you do not just repeat. You play. Tango gives you the tools to create something different every single time you step onto the floor with someone new
