Ultimate Tango School of Dance - Anita & Hernan Brizuela

Every turn in tango has logic. Every spiral has purpose.

In this 8-week Pre-Intermediate course, we decode the rotational heart of tango: ochos and pivots.
You’ll discover how energy travels through the body, how to twist without tension, and how to create fluid motion through grounded control.

Learn how to:

• Differentiate crosses and ochos

• Execute forward and back ochos with balance

• Master torsion, spiral, and isolation

• Control your pivot axis with precision

• Blend opposition and connection for dynamic movement

• Lead and follow with refined timing and sensitivity

It’s about turning, but also about transforming your dance.

Summer is a good time to try something you've been thinking about. Eight Thursday evenings and you'll know how to dance Argentine tango - and you'll have met people you wouldn't have met anywhere else.

People come to this course for different reasons. Some want to learn to dance. Some are looking for a new social circle. Some are curious about tango - the music, the culture, the way two people can have a full conversation without saying a single word. Some just wanted something worth doing this summer.
Whatever brings you, you don't need a partner and you don't need experience. Just show up.

What you'll learn: the tango walk, the embrace, the 8-count basic to the cross, how to connect and communicate non-verbally with a partner, how to read body language and respond to it, and the foundations of improvisation, navigation, and musicality.

Also included: every registered student gets access to the Tuesday Practica (8:30–11pm) at no extra cost. More floor time, more practice, more people.

• Singles and couples both welcome
• No partner necessary
• No prior dance experience required
• Open to anyone 21 and older

Why Try Tango?

Because tango teaches more than dance.
It teaches balance, listening, patience, confidence, and connection - all through movement. Many discover that tango helps them move better, think clearer, and connect deeper - both on and off the dance floor.
