FAQ for Intro Tango Classes
-What do I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes, easy for you to move in.
-- Do I need special shoes?
No, special shoes are not required. A pair of comfortable shoes which
allow a natural movement of the foot are good for starting dancing
tango. Women, especially, will want to *avoid backless shoes*
(flip-flops, mules, etc).
--Do I need to bring a partner?
No, a partner isn't necessary. Typically, we rotate partners throughout
class. Everyone gets to dance, and dancers tend to learn faster and
more easily this way.
--I don't have any dance experience, can I still take the intro.
class?
Yes! *You do not need any dance experience for Argentine Tango.*
Argentine Tango is a social dance and is highly improvised, focusing on
movement through connection between partners. It is very different than
ballroom tango or other performance dance forms. In Argentine tango,
the embrace and posture are more relaxed, and there are few/no "set
sequences" of moves.
