If you've never danced tango and would like a head-start, join our Total Beginner Bootcamp! The day starts with a 75-minute workshop where you will learn about connection, posture, basic steps, and the embrace. A 45-minute lunch break follows, where you can socialize (lunch is included!). Charlottesville Tango members will join at this stage, so you can socialize with them. The second 75-minute workshop then builds upon the first one, introducing variations such as double-time and the cross system. The bootcamp concludes with a short practice time!

If you want to learn Argentine Tango, now is the time! Charlottesville Tango is offering a new TOTAL BEGINNER six-week series!

It's only $60 for 6 weeks of 1-hour classes, and includes a 1-hour practica, during which you can practice and/or social dance!

You will learn about connection, musicality, steps, and the culture of Argentine tango in a fun and friendly atmosphere! Everything you need to know to get you started for social dancing!

You don't need a partner to join. Just bring yourself in comfortable clothes! Slick-soled shoes are recommended but not essential in the beginning.

You can pay cash or card at the door on the first week.

As the McGuffey building is locked at this time, please use the left-side entrance door and ring the bell on the board: someone will open the door for you!

-- Note that there will be no class on September 17th --

We look forward to seeing you then!
