Ever been at a milonga, heard a great milonga or vals, and thought, “I want to dance to this, but I’m not quite sure how”? This workshop is for you.
We’ll take the tango vocabulary you already know and explore how to adapt it to each rhythm, learning how to hear the music, feel its character, and make choices that fit the style. By the end, you’ll have more tools and confidence to step onto the floor when that milonga or vals tanda comes on.
Who it’s for: Dancers with a foundation in Argentine tango who want to feel more comfortable and expressive dancing milonga and vals.
Notes:
No refunds available for purchased classes. Drop in class at the door is $60 per workshop.
