Tango Workshops Article Count: 29
Occasionally Tango Fantástico hosts visiting Argentine stage celebrities, professional teachers and dancers for workshops and private classes. Tango workshops usually designate an accomplishment level as the format of a workshop requires that students be able to comprehend verbal directions regarding position, movement and the partnership dynamics with a certain degree of proficiency. Students who are properly qualified in a proficiency category will not detain the other students from advancing.
Come join in the fun with authentic inspiration straight from Argentina - But come prepared, workshops are more intense and focused than regular weekly classes. Professional teachers expect students to be motivated to experiment, work hard, and ask relevant questions.
Remember, Argentine teachers may not be fluent in English and probably speak with an accent.
When we host visitors we will always provide some background information about their dancing careers.

Milongas Article Count: 1
"Milonga" is the Argentine word for social dance party, where tango music is played and dancers congregate to dance and socialize.
All Milonga dance floors follow a counter clockwise rotation which we refer to as the 'line of dance'. Some floorcraft skills are required to navigate around other dancers while keeping with the line of dance.
In general, we adhere to Argentine milonga etiquette which supports traditional chivalrous behavior - gentlemen ask ladies to dance. The first contact is a 'cabeceo' which translates to small head movement with eye contact. Accept the invitation and the 'contract' for a 'tanda' begins.
A 'tanda' is a musical set, usually 3 tunes of similar tempo. It is polite to dance with one partner for a tanda and thank them when the 'cortina' (curtain) is played. Gentlemen are not obliged to escort the lady back to her seat but it is a personal courtesy call.
