Argentine Tango Beginners Course & Workshops 2010

In 2010 Leigh will be running several Argentine Tango Courses for beginners.  Each course will run for 3 consecutive Sundays for 2 hours. 

Argentine Tango is completely improvised so each couple can create their own dance every time they hit the dance floor.  However, in order to do this you need first to learn some basics.  During the course you learn how to lead and follow; understand the embrace; gain some understanding of the music; how to shift weight and feel balanced and the direction of dance (important for social dancing).

You will be introduced to some basic step concepts and know the difference between Argentine Tango, Argentine Vals and Argentine Milonga.

This course will be run several times a year and the next course is being held in April 2010.
