TANGO 100
Next Semester starts August, 2024
Tango 100 gets you started following, leading and connecting with your partner while learning the most beloved and commonly used tango sequences for the social dance floor.
Tango 100 is a membership-only program. Because of its progressive curriculum, it’s best to get started at the beginning of a new semester (January or July). With your membership you can attend all classes at the 100 level if you chose.
Weekly schedule for Tango 100 level members, Jan 9 - May 25, 2024.
When you sign up for a Tango 100 membership, you have access to all classes at the 100 level. We recommend attending as many classes as your schedule allows, but you will only be assessed on one course per semester. If you take multiple courses, make sure to give a special commitment to one of them to be prepared for your assessments.
Each level (100, 200, 300 etc.) includes 2 courses; the Milonguro track (M) & the Salon track (S), and they can be taken in either order. The course material is very dense and most students take each course several times.
If you want to get an introduction to Tango and our school, you can try one of our Beginner Bootcamps; a stand-alone workshop offered a few times a year - or, you can jumpstart your Tango journey anytime with private lessons.
