Smile!
That's right! One of the most important element

Tango can be a very difficult dance to learn.

a little
discouraging! As a result, we have developed a
unique approach to our
instruction.

each other. Work as a team!

just doesn't seem
right about a step, don't hesitate to ask a
question!

Communication
Several
key elements to a
wonderful and successful learning dance experience is communication, patience and
teamwork. In
all of our group classes, workshops and
private lessons, we stress the importance
of communication, feedback and individual patience.
If
you have any questions about
any of the Argentine Tango steps,
technique, lead and follow, or any
aspect of the lesson, please, do
not hesitate to ask!
There are no
stupid questions! We are here for you!
The most important thing in communication is to hear
what isn't being said.

Foot Wear
Another important element to get started dancing
is footwear. For the female dancer, we recommend
shoes that have a medium size heel with good
support. For men, we recommend leather sole shoes
that slide smoothly across
hardwood surfaces.
Due to the nature of the footwork which requires
the brushing
of the feet, we do not recommended that
you wear tennis shoes, sandals,
sneakers
or construction
boots. Remember, it's the Argentine Tango! Get ready to
show lots of attitude, emotion, personality and style!
