Nuevo Concepts
These intermediate level classes are held on Sundays at the Tango Room & focus on key technical concepts based on the Tango Nuevo style of dancing. These classes provide essential structural elements that students can apply to any style of tango they choose to dance. The class is followed by a BYO BBQ Practica to encourage students to practise, exchange ideas & get to know one another. Jennifer & Chris are available during the Practica to answer questions and assist with problem areas.

Milonga
Milonga Courses are held periodically for our Intermediate / Advanced level students. These classes introduce students to essential rhythms of the Milonga and work through  techniques for clarity of lead & responsive following. Simple patterns are used to create an easy framework to practice your Milonga in both single time & ‘Traspie’. Patterns & ideas for spicing up your dancing & improvising are also taught. These courses are great fun...so don’t miss out!

Tango Vals
Tango Vals is all about the rhythm! Learn to adapt your dancing to the music. Courses are held periodically for our Intermediate / Advanced level students. Students are introduced to the essential rhythms of the Vals and encouraged to work through simple patterns using the Vals timing. Topics include: Leading “double time” in Vals’; Cross System; & Giros.

Follower’s or Leader’s Technique Classes

These can include posture, axis, foot placement, body control, embrace, walking, resistance, dynamic energy, ochos, giros, boleos, adornments, musicality & understanding different techniques for tango styles.
