This is a progressive course for new students or those wishing to review the basics. Classes are every Monday from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm

This course is specifically designed for beginners and dancers who want to review all the basics of Traditional Argentine Tango.

This progressive course is designed for five months, and each month, you will work on specific basics to help create a solid foundation for social dancing. After completing this program, you will have all the fundamentals to advance to the intermediate level.
