Susana and I will be starting another session of tango classes at the
Phillips Recreation Center after Spring Break.
Tell your friends about the following beginner course to get them interested
in tango:
Fundamentals of Tango
This course covers the fundamentals of (salon style) tango: walking, the
cross, forward and back ochos, paradas, cambio de frente, and media vuelta.
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.
Dates: Mondays Mar 31 - May 5 (6 weeks)
Time: 8:30 - 10 PM
Cost: $36
For you tango veterans, here is the course for you (unless, of course, you
want to take the Fundamentals course for a thorough review, and you are
welcome to take both courses):
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. Thus,
instead of teaching fixed step patterns, we will teach you tools for creating
numerous combinations on your own. 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 focus on use of adornments, ocho variations and stationary and
progressive turns, within the context of improvisation and navigation. These
topics will be covered within the framework of musicality and appropriate
techniques for leading and following.
Pre-requisite: Beginner course in tango, or acquisition of skills taught in a
basic course.
Dates: Wednesdays April 2 - May 7 (6 weeks)
Time: 8:30 - 10 PM
Cost: $36
All courses are taught at the Phillips Recreation Center, 505 W Stoughton,
Urbana.
To register, visit the Phillips Center or call 367-1544.
Join us in the fun experience of learning tango.
