This series will place a strong emphasis on timing/musicality, improvisation and change of dynamics while exploring and deconstructing fun and challenging sequences of each distinct genre. The classes will build first on strong tango technique then delve into special topics and sequences appropriate to vals and milonga.
Prerequisites:
Attendees should have completed at least two beginner tango series, such as Beg. I and Beg.
