Advanced Beginner Intensive (Level 2): March 1 & 2, 2025

March 1, 2025

The Advanced Beginner Intensive prepares students to take any intermediate-level classes or workshops at the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School. To prepare for the Advanced Beginner Intensive, students should take the Beginner Intensive, or attend Wednesday 8 pm Beginner classes for at least one month (or have equivalent experience).


All students will practice both roles.  Because we are practicing both roles, even students with much more experience can benefit from taking the Advanced Beginner Intensive.


Topics covered include:


* Cross System

* The Cross Basic Step

* Back Ochos and steps that are easily accessible from them

* Lead-and-follow improvisation

* Navigation of the social dance floor

* Basic musicality: Phrasing and the Beat

Beginner Intensive (No experience necessary!): March 22 & 23

March 22, 2025

A great chance to jump-start your tango in a fun & friendly environment where everyone learns both roles. The Beginner Intensive covers the basics of tango movement, lead-and-follow communication, and dance floor navigation. We switch partners throughout. It is not necessary to attend with a partner. No experience necessary


Students should plan to attend both Saturday & Sunday sessions, if at all possible.


Please bring smooth-soled shoes (that you can pivot in) to change into in the studio.  Or it's totally fine to dance in socks.
