APRIL 2025
For the month of APRIL the Intermediate+ class will work on: "BARRIDAS for Leaders and Followers 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 Barridas? Barridas (also called "drags" or "sweeps") are a beautiful and fluid element in tango where one partner gently "sweeps" the other’s foot along the floor. Barridas add elegance and flow to tango when done with precision and musicality. Whether you're looking to add finesse to your leading or enhance your following skills, this class will elevate your tango! In the intermediate tango classes, dancers will build upon the fundamental skills and concepts they learned as beginners and also in previous Intermediate class. It is also very necessary to continue to learn the importance of navigating the dance floor gracefully and safely |

Guillermo Merlo and Laura Grandi will partner and teach both classes together. Currently, we do not have a "couple" teaching Tango classes on a regular basis in our community, so this will be a wonderful addition and perfect experience for both leaders and followers Wednesday Tango Classes 7-8pm Beginner Tango 8-9pm Intermediate + Tango NO PARTNER NECESSARY NO NEED TO PRE-REGISTER.
