Friday Night June 24th Tango

New Student American Tango Lesson 

Friday June 24th @ 7:30 

For students new to American Tango, you can come learn the basics along with something flashy to impress you friends. Whether you're learning for a special event, a vacation or just for the love of it, Tango is a wonderful way to get out on the dance floor. 

The Tango originated in the lower-class districts of Buenos 

Aires and Montevideo and has influences from European and African culture. Early in the 20th century, dancers and orchestras from Buenos Aires travelled to Europe and the first European tango craze took place in Paris, soon followed by London, Berlin, and other capitals. Towards the end of 1913 it hit New York in the USA.The dance developed in response to many cultural elements, such as the crowding of the venue and even the fashions in clothing. The styles are mostly danced in either open embrace, where lead and follow have space between their bodies, or close embrace, where the lead and follow connect either chest-to-chest (Argentine tango) or in the upper thigh, hip area (American and International tango). Here's a look at what Tango can look like from Dancing With The Stars', Derek and Nicole

*Following the Tango Lesson we will be headed on a field trip to Washington Dance Club in Seattle. So, come and see what it's all about and Tango your way into the sunset. See you on the Dance Floor!!!
