Introducing: TANGOLONGA — A 3-Week Adventure into Tango & Milonga This December, we’re delighted to present “Tangolonga”, an exciting and unique 3-week intermediate series built especially for intermediate dancers taught by Guillermo Merlo and Laura Grandi. In our Intermediate Class we’ll explore how the same steps and sequences can be danced in both tango and milonga. Same movements, two different flavors—discover versatility, musicality, and playful expression across both dances. A fun and inspiring way to expand your tango and milonga technique. This class is designed for both leaders and followers equally since both Guillermo and Laura will be showing both roles. If you who wish to refine your technique, expand your creative vocabulary, and deepen the expressive dialogue within the tango embrace, this class is perfect for you. |
