Classes this Month: February is Milonga Month!! Every class, all month will be on the very fun dance of milonga (with maybe a little vals, too). I am excited - milonga is so good for your tango! If you are beginning, it can be easier to get the walk, embrace, and understand the music in milonga than in tango. Many of my students who started with milonga do better overall in their learning. If you are already intermediate or advanced, you have to be comfortable with milonga - or, well - you're not going to be able to advance for long if you can't comfortably do such an important part of the tango lexicon.
I am going to Puerto Vallarta from Jan 25 to Feb 4 to teach some tango workshops, and get a little vacation. But don't worry - the Tuesday Jan 30 classes will be covered by our very own Augusto Morrrone. He will start Milonga Month with all the basics. Augusto is great at milonga, so you will learn a lot! Saturday morning there will be a practica - this was really popular while I was in Buenos Aires. Come and check it out! Practica Saturdays Jan 27 and Feb 3rd at 10AM.
