What the classes cover
The studio's teaching is mostly tango. Classes are organized by level, from important basics open to all levels through the Mittelstufe courses to the more advanced sessions. The Mittelstufe classes work on turns, boleos, ganchos and sacadas, and the Vals class trains the rhythm of the waltz.
Several classes sit outside the standard tango structure. A yoga class designed for tango dancers is held in a room reached through the red door, and the U 30 course is aimed at a younger crowd.
