New addition to Elite. Come learn the basics of this unique, romantic and intense dance. Argentine Tango is a "one of a kind" experience and is getting quite popular in the Edmonton scene.

In our beginner series we explore the fundamentals of social tango in a fun, friendly and educational atmosphere. This 12 week session is designed for people with minimal or no tango or dance experience and also for current tango dancers who want to improve their technique and musicality working with familiar moves. We will be teaching basic principles essential to Tango. Key elements of movement in Tango such as balance, embrace, posture, sense of axis, connection with partner, leading and following, walking, floor navigation will be covered in this course along with an introduction to some of the basic figures of Tango in both the parallel and cross systems. We will follow a set curriculum that will be progressive and built on the material covered in the previous class. Our goal is to build confidence in your improvisational skills and technique. We will also cover tango traditions, etiquette, codes of inviting and musicality. With our teaching method, you will learn to improvise from the very beginning.
