Argentine Tango with Indre at Continental Club before
Glover Tango Piano hour
In nature the circle often occurs in moments of
transformation- the wave curls and breaks, the pebble
dropped in a pool spreads a concentric pattern, the tree
adds another ring. Such is life. Very similar to tango. In
tango couples are turning all the time: in a big circle
around the room in the line of dance, woman around the man,
man around the woman. Couple "around" the music.
Come and learn the Tango through turning. Learn 5 basic
turns for social dance floor. 5 Mondays in a row.
Starting August 3rd till 31st , Every Monday
At Continental Club 3700 Main @ Alabama
7pm- 8pm (Stay longer for glass of wine and dance tango
to Glover Gill- live tango piano)
$40 for 5 classes, $10 drop-in, 50% discount for students.
To register, ask questions contact Indre at
indrerapal at gmail.com or 713 319 4330

possible for you to go out and dance socially and enjoy it.
The class structure will be:
- 30 minutes of group instruction in close embrace
technique of walking, connection, and musicality
- 30 minutes of group instruction to expand your dancing
vocabulary (variations of basic turns, ochos, ocho cortado)
and connect it to your dance
- 30 minutes of guided practice time in a Milonga-like
setting with individual feedback from instructors with
a special emphasis on navigation skills.
Note: This class is designed for dancers who have taken
at least 2 cycles of tango classes.
