Level: Basic
Instructors: [Valeria Solomonoff]
Event Information
The basic Argentine Tango program is four different courses (A, B, C & D). You can take them in any order. You must take all of them before entering the PRE-Intermediate courses.
If you’re in a hurry, come four times a week and complete the program in one month. If you can only come once a week, that’s okay because the courses rotate every month- with this approach it will take you four consecutive months to complete the Basic program . We suggest taking two classes a week and completing the Basic Program in 2 months. Then take it again. While you start taking higher level classes, continue with Basic.

All the essentials of the dance are taught in the Basic Program. If you’ve been studying elsewhere, we will probably still want you to start with Basic classes.
