BEGINNER'S TANGO BOOTCAMP

Have you always wanted to learn Tango? Here's your exclusive opportunity to learn from world renown Tango Master Virginia Vasconi and Partner Jaimes Friedgen.

We're excited to announce this exclusive 3 hour Beginner Argentine Tango Bootcamp happening Saturday, September 9 from 1.30-4.30PM.

Designed for Beginners, introducing you to the most important concepts of this beautiful dance. No partner or dance experience required!

What this course will focus on:

- The Walk and Milonguero Back Ochos: Learning to find the phrase in the music, walking with a variety of tempos in parallel and cross system, and dancing La Cruzada (the cross).

- The Milonguero Groove: The Ocho Cortado blended with a Cadencia (rock turn) and the Milonguero Turn to the Left, and how they most naturally fit into the structure of classic tango music.

- Basic Milonguero Combinations: Blending the Walk, Back Ochos, and the elements of the Milonguero Groove fluidly and musically.

- The Media Luna: Learn the most powerful Milonguero Turn to the Right and how it fits into the musical phrase.

- The Milonguero Dip: Learn to use the Cadencia/Milonguero Turn to the Left combination to set up a beautiful forward ocho from the cross, and again how this works with the music.

- Advanced Milonguero Combinations: Blending The Walk, Back Ochos, The Milonguero Groove, The Media Luna, and The Milonguero Dip into an excellent array of beautiful and musical Milonguero vocabulary.
