An Introduction to Argentine Tango for Beginners
Tango By The Beach and Dancing On The Shore are working together to give you the perfect introduction to Argentine Tango. To help you we are offering classes that will speed your journey to dancing Tango. The upcoming class is a four week Introduction to Argentine Tango from 6-7pm at the Lewes Senior Activity Center (LSAC). Use the back door. Starting date depends upond demand for the course.
This class is perfect if you have little or no Tango dance experience but would like to try the beautiful and elegant Argentine Tango. It will introduce you to the basics of the Tango embraces, walking forward and backwards, rock steps, ochos, walking with turns, crosses, walking in parallel and cross system basics and more. It is also an ideal class to repeat if you've taken the previous class but don't feel comfortable with all the above.
This time around we are also going to work hard on reviewing and improving all the steps covered in our original class and combining the basics mentioned above with an expansion into Tango Musicality.
The object is not to just remember moves, but to feel the moves, share those feelings with your partner and relate them to Tango music.
In a future class, Argentine Tango 2, we intend to build on the first. We'll teach you additional steps but, most importantly we'll also work with each student to improve your style and execution of the Tango moves and of the most important Tango Walks.
Both classes are offered at the LSAC on Tuesday evenings from 6 -7 pm. You, our students determine whether we offer basic or higher level training in our upcoming courses.
The classes are open to all adults 18 or better. No experience is required for Tango 1. Argentine Tango 2 requires completion of Tango 1 or equivalent knowledge. They are also good for those who have some Tango experience but who don't feel good about their dancing skills or are uncomfortable leading or following a partner or need to build up their confidence on the dance floor. Come with a partner if you have one or come alone and we'll help you with a partner (we may be rotating partners).
Our next Argentine Tango class starts on November 12, 2024. If you want to be included contact Amanda NOW at 302-377-3088 and tell her what you need - Beginner or Advanced. Or talk with her and she'll suggest what would be best for you.
The classes do NOT run at the same time. They are scheduled when we have at least 6 students signed up. So you must let us know if you want to try Tango 1 or need Tango 2. If you're not sure which is right for you call Amanda and discuss it. Each class is 4 weeks in Lewes, Delaware, on Tuesdays from 6-7pm. Pre-registration and pre-payment are required. No Drop-Ins. We encourage you to stay after class for Practica (practice) from 7-9 pm to dance with experienced Tango dancers for free. Class and 8 hours of practice is only $50 per person.
Your instructor, John Huegel has over 12 years of Tango experience. We work in cooperation with Amanda Showell's Dancing on the Shore. No experience is required for Tango 1. No partner is required for either class. Students will normally rotate dance partners unless they come as a couple and prefer to stay together. Come and have fun learning Argentine Tango! Classes are scheduled every month or so. Call to join our next session. Advanced classes or private lessons are also offered as needed.
