Who are the courses for? 

Our crash courses are for students who want to progress faster in their journey. They are intensive by design and the student has to be willing to work hard and expect a challenging three hours. The courses will work for you if::

• You are looking to progress faster after having learnt the basics of tango; or,
• You you are an experienced dancer and want to make sure that you have got the foundations right for each one of the topics.

You can sign up on your own, we will change partners throughout the course. Alternatively, you can sign up with a fixed partner and stay with them while the rest of the class rotates their partners. 

In the course: On each afternoon you’ll focus on just one of these topics, with seven hours’ worth of teaching compressed into one key class. You’ll cover all the basics of each specialism, building your technique from the ground up, and ultimately covering more challenging and advanced concepts in the last hour, to really help push you in taking your tango to the next level. Our structured way of teaching will focus on key tango grammar points and the precise technique for executing movements smoothly on the dance floor; this is a series of courses designed to fast-track ambitious students who want to progress to higher levels of dance more quickly. The nature of our courses is incredibly successful, and we’re always glad to see how quickly students progress after working with us.

This week’s topic is Milonga Intensive - Musicality and Sequences.

Milonga Intensive - Musicality and Sequences Milonga can seem daunting for those who haven’t yet practiced it thoroughly or gained confidence in it - once you’ve spent a crash course session with us, you’ll be confident enough to dance every single milonga tanda the DJ plays. We’ll cover milonga musicality and rhythm, basic milonga steps and many playful variations, and how to dance responsively and quickly to milonga music with your partner. When you get the hang of milonga in this crash-course session, you’ll never want to stop dancing it!
