LEARN TANGO AS A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

Hello ,

Here is what are we working on in March:

The Milonga course adds new sequences to your vocabulary, improves your cadencia so you stop losing your legs trying to dance super fast tango, and helps you understand the habanera rhythm. More info here.
At the pre-intermediate level, we will focus on ochos and pivots. This series aims to enhance your understanding of Tango movements, emphasizing the importance of rotations, pivoting, spiral movements, isolation, decoupling, and delayed movements which are crucial for advanced Tango dancing. More info here.
At the intermediate level curriculum is designed to master the giro, enabling dancers to navigate turns with elegance and precision. Visit the Ultimate Tango's intermediate course page here.
The pre-advanced level is focusing on "Barrida & Arrastre" - sweeping and dragging movements in Tango, enhancing the dancers' ability to execute these movements with precision and elegance. Visit the Ultimate Tango pre-advanced course page.
The advanced Tango classes aim to challenge dancers with more complex sequences and concepts, pushing the boundaries of their Tango skills. More info: the https://www.ultimatetango.com/advanced.

The embrace in tango is not merely a physical gesture but a profound means of communication and connection between partners. Let’s explore the essence of tango embrace, its various types, and its significance in Argentine tango.
