Summer 2026 Schedule
Our summer courses run progressively for 8 weeks from June 5 until July 31.
In addition, we offer pre-milonga Technique Classes are on 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month (June 14, 28; July 12, 26; August 9, 23).
Level 1 - Tango Initiation with Wonseon & Nick
Our most popular gateway to tango!
Learn about balance, posture, basic musical education and technique for tango movement, while improvising with a partner. Class vocabulary includes the tango “walk”, cunitas (rock steps), the follower’s cross, back ochos, basic navigational tools and introductory level adornments.
We encourage the study of both roles, role-switching, and dancing with a variety of partners. (Staying with one partner is also welcome).
No partner required. Must register.

Level 2 - Tango Turns with Joerg, Sarah, Amanda & Ramu
When the Going gets Tough, the Tough get Turning!
Turns are the most useful "tools" for navigating crowded dance floors. In this series, we will develop a good grasp of technique (theory, timing) for "giros" and "molinettes". We will work together to explore the subtleties and changes of dynamic to achieve smooth, powerful and effortless turns.
