    Fundamentals of Tango

    This course covers the fundamentals of (salon style) tango: walking, the

    Partner communication and linking of patterns to navigate around the dance
    floor will be emphasized.

    Pre-requisite: This course is intended for those with no or limited prior
    tango experience. It is also a good review course for dancers with some tango
    experience.

    Intermediate Tango (Salon Style)
    Topic: Navigation and Improvisation

    This course will emphasize constructing dance patterns from basic elements in
    salon style tango, with the goal of navigating around the dance floor.
    Concepts to be applied will include parallel and crossed feet walking,
    enfrente and outside partner positions, and alternative strategies for stops
    and changes of direction. Instruction will include use of adornments, ocho
    variations and stationary and progressive turns. These topics will be covered
    within the framework of musicality and appropriate techniques for leading and
    following.

    basic course.
