Technique Class

Strong technique is essential to dancing with ease and the least amount of effort possible, ultimately giving dancers the freedom to improvise, interpret the music and express complex emotions on the dance floor. It will also help to prevent injuries and improve the quality of movements.

This class will focus on fundamentals such as posture, balance, body awareness and coordination, and variety of mechanics necessary in tango movements. We use exercises and drills to build them into your muscle memory.
