Tango Workshops

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.

Evolution2
Some responses to those standard fears for wanna-be dancers

  • If you can walk you can dance tango - it just takes learning some new skills
  • Not musical, can't find the beat - no problem, Tango dancers expression is individiual
  • Fear of close embrace - respect for personal space and comfort levels are principles we discuss at the outset

All tango is created from walking:  Add some style and elegance, spice and interest, increase the pace or pause in an expressive way - Tango is unique every time and evolves as the skills are practiced and perfected.  Social Tango is not choreographed or rehearsed, it is created in the moment with freedom of musical interpretation, reflecting mood and intensity of connection. This creative class will accommodate students just starting out as well as students who have taken the basics before.

If you are hesitant to just join a workshop or class, then come to our Free Tango Symposium Saturday September 10, 2022 to find out more about the evolution of the dance, the culture of Argentina and why Tango is considered the foundation of all embracing partner dances.

Holiday Workshops in Sautee Nacoochee

Suitable for novices and refreshers

Building a Dependable Foundation

Acquiring skills takes time, effort and focus but in order to progress the foundational elements need to become second nature.  The Holiday workshops will address axis, balance, intention and acquiescence.  In Argentine Tango we move in all directions and we can start on either foot, as determined by the leader.  We share the floor, following line of dance, extending common courtesies and utilizing our skills of the dance.  The dance develops through connection, communication and sensitivity to one's partner.  Through attention to precision the movement becomes fluid and the dancers feel the private reward of unified expression.
