Our Two-Day Beginner Intensive offers a fun and efficient way to jump-start your tango, in the course of one weekend. The Intensive covers the basics of tango movement and communication in a friendly environment in which everyone tries both roles.
No experience or partner necessary!

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.

* Cross System

* Back Ochos and steps that are easily accessible from them
