January at Tango & I

In addition to our 10 am foundation 1 class on Saturday we are adding 2 technique classes this month! Technique is the work that you do on your personal dance. It adds to the way that you move and feel inside. Your muscles, your perception, your emotions, your movement, your adornments, your musicality and your mind are all part of the tango dance.
Saturday Jan. 14 adornments made by you (men & women)
Saturday Jan 21 Practice makes perfect (men & women)
Followed up by the practica, perfect combo to integrate the technique into your dance!

Foundation 1 classes every Saturday morning at 10 am AND Wednesday evening at 6.30 pm - These classes are wonderful to take many times over, back to basics is a golden truth Much more detailed information here at our curriculum site

All Level classes every Wednesday evening at 7.30
Level A Back and Forward ochos (details)
Level B Time for Fusion (details)

Intermediate / Advanced every Wednesday evening at 8.30
Making combinations - how to improvise and how to react to the improvisation on a social dance floor. Taste the complexity of a movement done just right. Have a dance conversation.

Practica EVERY Saturday morning at 11 am

Saturday January 28 Paul Lohman is hosting Tango con Fusion at Dance Life Ballroom Every month way to much fun to be had on the dance floor!! Starting at 9pm, $10

Remember the leg wrap we did in class???

The guy who was an expert in these wraps was called "El Pulpo" In this video you can see him and Luiza in action, it's like he is knitting with his and her legs. These kind of tricks are fun to do, IF you know what you are doing. Mind each others knees by finding where your partners axis is at. ( So you know the moving leg is free) Have fun exploring!

Chicho and Juana are teaching in Rochester MN!

These two are, in my humble opinion, such extraordinary tango artists, nobody comes close in mastering their skill on the dance floor.
BUT we can try! And now, for the very first time, they are teaching in the midwest. In Rochester Minnesota no less! People travel world wide to come and study with them. I have! Many times! ( Amsterdam, San Francisco, Baltimore, Buenos Aires to name a few)
At the very least, April 1st (no joke) a milonga with a performance plus DJ Avik from Ann Arbor. You HAVE to come and join dancers from across the USA that evening.
