Argentine Tango is a unique dancing experience. Instead of learning
set sequences, you learn about a half dozen basic movements and then
embark on a journey of creative improvisation, learning how to create
new sequences every time you dance. For the follower, you relax into
the moment, into a state of awareness, interpeting the lead and adding
your energy and your expression. Unlike dances that have a set
rhythmic pattern, Argentine Tango dancers are always playing with the
music, varying their sequences of quick and slow movements, even using
pauses. There are always surprises in dancing Argentine Tango. The
music itself is rich in both rhythm and melody, and beautiful to dance
to.
This is how tango is learned in Argentina, the birthplace of tango.
Ron & Susana travel to Buenos Aires every year to learn with master
instructors and interact with dancers in the milongas (tango social
dances) to learn about Argentine Tango culture. In their unique method
of teaching, they communicate to their students the authentic
characteristics of Argentine Tango. They are recognized both locally
and wherever their students travel for producing students who develop
a high skill level in tango.
Come and join us in learning tango. Not only our our classes friendly
and a lot of fun, with a lot of practice, but we host also about 15
milongas per year at the Phillips Center, where we set up a friendly
tango cafe atmosphere that enhances social interaction.
Our beginner course - Foundations of Tango - starts this Thursday
October 21. Take the time to learn the authentic Argentine Tango as it
is danced in Argentina, taught by experienced instructors who produce
good dancers. Class starts at 8 PM, but come to the Phillips center
early to register. You don't need a partner.
We look forward to seeing you.
Ron & Susana
