We would like to invite you all to join us on Thursday
nights for two full hours of tango at 1223 Peden St.
Currently, our classes are on-going and you don't need
to wait and start on a certain day. You can start now
and build at your own pace.
We start at 8pm with tango basics, and shift the gear up
around 9pm to more advanced patterns. We finish around
10pm, with a mini violin concert if we are lucky.
One woman's boleo might be another's gancho! This week
we will shift the previous weeks' boleos into sizzling
ganchos and see how intertwined we can safely get. Come
break a leg!
You can register for 4-weeks for $50 and this includes
8-hours of instruction.
***Students pay half***
Walk-ins are welcome and an each hour is $10.
We are now available for private classes.
If you prefer to work one on one on a subject you need
help with or if you want to have better dances sooner,
call 225 235 5705 and we will schedule a lesson.
Happy Halloween

"To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful,
more powerful," says Agnes De Mille.
We are inviting you to get out of yourself, become more
beautiful and more powerful this THURSDAY, 8-10 pm at
1223 Peden St :)
Expect an hour of tango basics, connection exercises and
musicality and an hour of challenging, fun patterns where
you can put into use what you practiced in the first hour.
Here is a big bowl of tango passion mixed in with a cozy
light of a star or a moon, a dash of a caressing breeze,
a splash of a wave, a sprinkle of sand, a cool shade of
a tree, and a touch of a sunset:
