This class is ideal for dancers who have completed a beginner course or are comfortable with the fundamentals of tango and are ready to take the next step. The improvers level focuses on consolidating your technique, improving musicality, and building confidence in the embrace and partner connection.

We revisit and refine core elements like walking, ochos, and simple turns—while introducing new variations, transitions, and combinations to help expand your movement vocabulary. There is a strong emphasis on timing, clarity in leading and following, and developing fluidity between movements.

Each class includes guided practice, technique drills, and short sequences designed to reinforce foundational skills while gently challenging you to move forward in your tango journey. You’ll also gain more experience with improvisation and navigating social dance spaces.

Whether you’re looking to become more comfortable dancing at milongas or preparing to move into intermediate-level classes, this is the perfect space to build confidence, refine your technique, and enjoy the process of growing as a tango dancer.

Intermediate / Advanced Class – Precision, Expression, and Mastery

This class is for experienced tango dancers who are ready to refine their technique, deepen their connection, and explore the subtleties of advanced tango. Each session focuses on challenging material, including complex sequences, changes of dynamics, musical phrasing, and refined partner communication.

We work on enhancing body control, balance, and precision, while encouraging creativity and expression through improvisation. The emphasis is not only on the steps, but on how they are executed—with clarity, elegance, and musical sensitivity.

Expect a thoughtful and structured approach to more intricate movements, with attention to posture, axis, embrace, and the quality of interaction between partners. This class builds on strong foundational skills and encourages dancers to move beyond mechanics into expressive, confident dancing.

Ideal for those with a solid base in tango technique who want to continue growing, challenge themselves, and dance with greater depth and artistry.
