***SUGGESTED PREREQ***
-Familiar with close embrace

***DESCRIPTION***
Connection is that ethereal quality of dance that has many aspects:
-Physical connection, the ability be in harmonious synchronization with our partner
-Mental connection, the ability to be fully present and in the moment with the dance
-Emotional connection, the ability share and respond to emotional responses to music and movement, to be vulnerable, and to fully accept both our own dance and our partner's.

For this four week series, we'll be exploring those aspects, learning how to reach a deeper level of connection while dancing. Musical elements and moves will be explored, but will be simple in order to support the connection concepts.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Phase 1 – Entering the milonga

Our initial phase is designed to make your introduction to Argentine Tango as enjoyable and engaging as possible. The teaching style prioritizes biomechanical efficiency, ensuring that you learn to move in a way that minimizes the risk of injury and promotes proper alignment from day one.

Phase 2 – Intense Training

As the weeks progress, we’ll ramp up the intensity a bit. Still keeping it beginner-friendly, this phase emphasizes the foundational movements of tango. Here, you’ll begin to see how the biomechanical focus plays a crucial role in mastering these basics.

Phase 3 – Guidance and Mastery

In the final phase of this series, you'll be encouraged to put your own personal stamp on the steps you’ve learned. The teaching style guides you in achieving a dance form that is not only technically sound but also resonates with your own aesthetic sense and cultural understanding.
