walk this way

At a Milonga, you have 3 styles of Tango. Argentine Tango. Argentine Vals, and Argentine Milonga. What’s Milonga ? Think of Milonga as Tango’s peppier older Sibling with LOTS of energy, and really really cool toys that you WANT to play with. However MIlonga is not for the faint of heart. Of the 3 Argentine dances, its the one that seemingly pushes you to your limits until you remember something…this is supposed to be FUN! So we’re going to have fun with the foundations of Milonga.

In this class we’re going to demystify the form. We’re going to take apart the musical elements that make up milonga music. And lastly we’re going to show you simple but seemingly complex patterns that you can use today, to go out on a social dance floor with (with a little practice) later on.

This class will be broken up into 3 parts: The Music. The Motion. The Motion to the Music!

WEEK 1 – The Walking, ‘Talking’, Milonga
WEEK 2 – The Scissor Milonga.
WEEK 3 – The Crossing Milonga.

Date: FEB 24 – MAR 10

Time: 9 pm to 10 pm.

Partners: You do not need a partner. You do not need tango shoes; socks are preferred. You do however have to have clean teeth, and take a shower once a day at least (smile).

Parking: If you do drive & you need to park: option 1.) Park at 65 JFK St. and walk over. 2.) I suggest you drive to Alewife and take the T to Harvard Sq.

Donation is EIGHT dollars per class. If you can’t afford it, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t come. It just means you’ll hook up later when you can. Come to class and learn what your friends have been raving about: Argentine Tango….IT ROCKS!

Most of Boston’s tango teachers attend any or all of these practicas. So you can always ask for help at any of them.
