WELCOME TO THIS AUTUMNS TANGO CLASSES!

Argentinian tango is a music genre and a couples dance from early 20th century, originating in the immigrant quarters of Buenos Aires.  The varied music allows expression of both joy, playfulness, teasing, passion, drama and melancholy. Sometimes tango is referred to as "life in 3 minutes".

In the centre of tango indeed are many emotions, and one soon notices that tango differs a whole lot from other couples dances. Even if argentinian tango like every other dance requires technique, feeling and interplay, the difference from many other couples dances is that specific figures and steps aren't much to the fore.

Instead one learns a certain amount of movements and to distinctly lead and follow in these. These movements can then be improvised as a response to the music, the mood, what ones partner does and and how the other couples move about on the dance floor.

BEGINNERS CLASS AND SEQUELS CLASS

CONTENT BEGINNERS CLASS
In this class for beginners we start with the basic steps and knowledge that is needed to eventually master the Argentinian tango. 

CONTENT SEQUELS CLASS
In this class we'll address the technique in posture, embrace and steps. But we'll also introduce new movements, "step frequences" and techniques to enrich your tango repertoar, and also show how you can use your already existing repertoar in milonga and tango waltz.

SETUP
The previous term we had a 1 hour and 30 minutes class, followed by a short practica. This term we'll schedule the classes after eachother at the same night (Thursdays even week numbers) and have a longer practica every other Thursday night (unveven week numbers). 

HOURS FOR THE BEGINNERS CLASS
7 Thursdays x 1h and 15 min, every other week 6:45 - 8 pm, starting September 22nd and ending December 15th.

HOURS FOR THE SEQUELS CLASS
7 Thursdays x 1h and 15 min, every other week 8 - 9:15 pm, starting September 22nd and ending December 15th. For those who have attended a beginners class or otherwise learned the basics of the Argentinian tango.

CLASS TEACHERS
Cecilia Carlson from Tango Experimental in Halmstad together with Christer Holmberg från Tango Värnamo.

FEE
700 SEK. Paid in cash at the first class. If you want to divide the fee, state this in your registration.

HOURS FOR PRACTICA
6 Thursdays every other week, 7 - 9 pm, starting September 29th and ending December 8th. The practica will be open for all tango dancers, so there will be a chande to also practice with more experienced dancers. Fee: 50 SEK for members in Tango Experimental, 70 SEK for non-members. 
 

N.B! THE PRACTICA ON OCTOBER 27TH IS CANCELLED.

LOCATION
Kulturverket in Onsjö, just outside of Halmstad.

DRESS
Everyday clothes works fine, but not to tight ones. There's a benefit from having shoes with a "slipding" sole. Ladies/followers who want to dance with hight heels ought to have a shoe with a strap.

GOOD-TO-KNOW
Registration in couples is to be preferred, but you may also gladly report as a single dancer, and we'll create even couples. State if you want to dance as a follower (mostly women) or as a leader (mostly men), or if you perhaps want to try out both roles.
