Beginner tango class

This is the first class in a 6-part series which will teach you the mysterious language of tango; once you know it, you can dance with any other tango dancer, anywhere in the world. You are welcome to take the first class as drop-in to see if you are interested; then you can sign up for the rest of the series if you want to continue.

We'll learn the foundations of leading & following improvised movements within the social tango structure, as well as a few basic figures, with a focus on fun & connection. Every class is followed by an informal tango party called a practica, with food, drinks, and dancing with the famously friendly Oxygen Tango community. You are welcome to just hang out & watch the dancing, but if you feel ready, we’ll introduce you and pair you with an experienced dancer to try out your first few steps on the dance floor.

No partner required; we encourage rotating partners but it’s also ok if you’d like stick with the person you came with. No special shoes or clothes needed.
