The cost of the class is $65 per 8 weeks series (2/05/02-3/26/02) or $10 for drop-ins. No partner required.
7:00-8:20 PM Absolute Beginner's Level Tango Over the course of 8 weeks, Ilana and I will introduce the fundamental elements of social dancing: walking, leading the cross, front/back Ochos, parallel/cross foot system, fun leg games, navigation skill, and improvisation. Our teaching approach emphasizes the social aspect of the Argentine tango. This class will prepare you the skill and the confidence to dance Argentine tango socially. This is not just a class for dancing step patterns, but it will also improve your posture, coordination, balance, and rhythm. No dance experience required. Come, have fun and meet new friends! 8:30-9:50PM Traditional Salon Tango Figures Ilana and I will introduce 4 traditional tango figures and show you how to use them with different music, energy, and feeling. We will also show you how improvisations are created by linking it back to the steps you already know. Both challenging and fun, this series of classes will improve your understanding of the underlying structure of the Argentine tango. This knowledge will re-ignite the passion you had for this dance, and leaves you craving for more! Thank you, Tony Tony Fan & Ilana Rubin www.seattletango.com [email protected] 206-781-9553
