Negracha and Diego are traditional milonguero-style tango dancers and enthusiastic teachers of the close embrace. Their classes focus on a single aspect of the dance, giving students an opportunity to completely absorb several variations of each movement. Starting with simple walking steps, they gently encourage students to progress to front and back ochos, boleos, giros, and ganchos.
