Some traditional tango band leaders  create a  light and breezy mood, others dark and mysterious. Some like sharp staccato beats while others  employ swelling phrases that rise and fall. There is usually more than one thing going on at a time.  We will explore ways to dance and respond  to  the music of several different orchestras including  Canaro, D’Arienzo, Di Sarli and possibly Fresedo & Pugliese. We might throw in some blues music one night, just for fun.

Students  will learn to identify the music better,  refining  their ability to express it while developing personal  tastes.  Steps and figures will be suggested that can  be adapted by each dancer to fit the mood.  Dynamics of musical communication between lead and follow will be given full attention.

We run 8 weeks, Jan 13 -Mch 2. Mch 9 is booked as  possible snow make-up class.

Cost per person: $100/students $85
