A few words about our offerings:
Before you can fly a plane or sail a boat, you go to “ground school” and Argentine tango dancing is absolutely the same (but MUCH more fun)! The 7pm class features a thorough rotating curriculum packed full with essential, fascinating and delightful tango fundamentals. Divided into 5 separate topics introducing and training our world-class tango rotating curriculum, we urge students to take these lessons at YOUR convenience, designing your attendance as best suits your unique schedules and learning styles. This can mean attending every week, taking all 5 lessons sequentially. Because these classes also accommodate drop-in students, they can be taken in any order and with whatever level of frequency and/or repetition works best for each individual. Return/rinse/repeat or move on to our Int/Adv classes as your skills grow.
We note most people have more fun and achieve longer-lasting success when offered the freedom to take the classes in any order, frequency and with whatever repetition promotes relaxed learning at YOUR preferred pace. Read on below for complete class descriptions.

START ANY TIME!
In our TangoConnection™ class structure, we look at the basics of tango from five different perspectives in each of our five class sessions we’ve named after famous tango orchestras – Di Sarli, D’Arienzo, Pugliese, Calo and Canaro. We parse the fundamentals of Argentine tango dancing into a rich curriculum of five individual classes so students receive a structured presentation of rotating topics that delivers a thorough exposure to the foundations of Argentine tango. This approach lures not only brand new beginners who appreciate a supportive and exciting learning environment, but students with years of tango training who return again and again to refine their technique. We’ve successfully launched THOUSANDS of students into the exciting world of Argentine tango through these classes which prepare students to enter the social dance arena with confidence and pleasure.
No partner is required, but we recommend bringing a sense of humor and adventure! For a complete exposure to learning the basics of tango, take all five classes. It’s typical that individuals enter our series with different schedule constraints and levels of previous preparation from a variety of other experiences and teachers. We strongly recommend rotating through all five of our fundamentals classes at least once. Repetition is also a very popular option and a great method for integrating the basics and laying a strong foundation for more.
For students with the ambition to explore deeply, we offer a glorious constellation of training opportunities to go for your full tango potential! Private Lessons with Brian & Deb will maximize your enjoyment and accelerate your tango potential in our Boulder Dance of the Heart studio (other locations also available upon request).
Use all the above as preparation to register for our TangoIntensivo™ Intermediate/Advanced training sessions in Buenos Aires, Argentina featuring LUCIANA VALLE and our acclaimed TangoIntensivo™ team!
SEE YOU IN CLASS!!!
