Social Dance taught by Miles Cohen  ~ NEW!
For Adults 17 and over


Tango 101: Argentine

This series covers the five most common movements of milonguero-style tango: changing weight and walking, back ochos exiting with the cross, the rock-rock turn to the left, turn to the right, and the quintessential ocho cortado. We cover ground quickly, focusing on the connection, musicality, and technique necessary to execute each figure gracefully. Be prepared to get close! Previous dance experience and signing up with a partner are both recommended but not required. Check out the website for more information.

Tango 102: Improvising With Confidence
In this series, students learn simple ways to connect and blend the five basic movements into an array of possibilities that will bring you endless hours of tango joy. Upon the completion of this series, students have the vocabulary needed to enjoy dancing with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations, to all kinds of music. As with Tango 101, the focus of the series will be connection and technique. As before, students dance body to body. Prerequisite: Tango 101. 

Slow Dancing for Couples I
When you think about slow dancing, do you think of junior high when you held your partner an arms-length away and bobbled sided-to-side like a robot? Well, we are here to improve your approach to slow dancing. This class is designed for couples or partners with no dance experience who want a fun opportunity to acquire some basic slow dancing skills. You never know when you will have the opportunity to dance with each other and we want to make sure you are prepared for that next party, wedding, or concert. We will not rotate partners in this class, so you are required to sign up with a partner (couples only).

Slow Dancing for Couples II
This series picks up where Slow Dancing I left off. Students will learn more fun moves and be experience more varied rhythms. Students will have a great place to review what they know while learning brand new ways of struttin' their stuff. This class will have a rotating curriculum so that students can take it multiple times and continue dancing with their partner. We will tailor this class to the students that take it, while keeping it easily accessible to those just coming from Slow Dancing I. As with Slow Dancing I, we will not rotate partners for this class, so you are required to sign up with a partner. Prerequisite: Slow Dancing for Couples I. This class is for couples only).
