IAP Free Intro Tango Workshops & Social (co-sponsored by MIT LGSA)

Join us for two free Intro Tango workshops with instructor Hernán Brizuela from the Ultimate Tango School of Dance.

Tickets (free to reserve, but limited quantity) are available on Engage at the links below.

Event Description

Join the MIT Tango Club and the MIT LGSA for two free introductory Argentine tango classes taught by master instructor Hernán Brizuela. The classes will be followed by a social with free food and music at the MIT Stratton Student Center. No partner required. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothes that you can walk comfortably in.

Note: The classes will work on introducing the core concepts of tango and the fundamental of the dance. Anyone can join for either class, and everyone is welcome to attend both (it is great to continue to practice fundamentals for all levels of dancers). In other words, the classes are not progressive, so it is fine to join for either or both.

Dates: Thursdays, January 15 and 29 from 7:15-10:15pm

Classes will take place from 7:30–9:00pm followed by food and a social with music until 10:15pm.

Space is limited, so RSVP now to reserve your spot! The tickets are free of charge and open to all. Tickets are reservable at the following links:
