Weekly Classes
Navigation & Dancing in Small Spaces (4-weeks)
Dates: Jan 6, 13, 20, 27
Time: 7-8PM
Description: Master the art of moving with confidence, clarity, and connection—no matter how tight the floor. Learn how to dance comfortably and confidently in crowded milongas. This class focuses on floor awareness, efficient walking, compact turns, and musical choices that allow you to navigate limited space with ease. Perfect for dancers who want to maintain elegance, connection, and respect for the ronda—no matter how full the floor becomes.
Circular Movement (8-weeks)
Dates: Jan 6, 13, 20, 27 | Feb 3, 10, 17, 24
Time: 8-9PM
Description: This class explores the essential circular principles of Argentine tango. We’ll work on pivots, spirals, and the resulting movement (sacadas, boleos, ganchos) to create smooth,
connected movement around your partner. Ideal for building balance, clarity, and flow, this class deepens your understanding of how tango moves beyond straight lines and into continuous,
organic motion. Enrollment includes access to one complete Tango Foundations series with Vienna Tango School instructors. This is a structured course designed to build your skills week by
week. Students commit to the full series; this is not a flexible “class pass.
Intro Series (4-weeks)
Dates: Jan 8, 15, 22, 29
Time: 7-8PM
Description: Tango Intro is a 4-week introductory course designed for new dancers and those returning to the basics. The program includes four weekly Intro classes paired with four guided practicas, giving you both structured instruction and supported practice time. You’ll learn fundamental tango movement, connection, walking, and musical awareness in a relaxed, progressive environment. The practicas allow you to integrate what you learn each week, ask questions, and build confidence on the dance floor.
