focusing on nonverbal communication with the partner to
create very smooth movement together. Establishing clear

the entire depth of the beautiful Argentinian Tango music
and to find you own way to interpret it on the dance floor.

and learn more about the follower’s role in tango is
welcome. Please bring your questions and we will discover
the answers together. Throughout this series we will not
only be growing in our technical skills, extending our
sensitivity, and practicing nonverbal conversation with our
partner, but also having fun learning our responsibilities
