Beginning Open Embrace Tango
For absolute beginners and early level dancers who want a foundation in the.fundamental concepts and skills of Argentine tango. Classes will address posture, balance, and stability; lead and follow technique, emphasizing the connection between partners; and the steps that make up the structure of tango. We'll also introduce students to tango music and the culture of dancing tango socially. No prerequisites

Beginning Close Embrace Argentine Tango
For those who have already completed a beginning tango class series in open embrace, or any early level dancer looking for a thorough introduction to dancing tango in close embrace. Students will learn how to create a comfortable and effective close embrace allowing for variations in style and fit between partners. Working with simple figures, students will learn how to adjust their technique and perspective in order to relax and enjoy the enhanced communication of this embrace. Prerequisite: Beginning tango in open embrace.

Advanced Beginning A and Advanced Beginning B

In these classes, students will build on the steps, concepts and skills developed at the beginner level.  New elements and classic figures will be introduced, while students continue to improve their connection and partnering skills. A and B each present different material, but may be taken in any order. Prerequisites: MIT Beginning Open Embrace and Beginning Close Embrace or equivalent class experience. Please contact us at psslavsky@gmail.com for details about requirements if you have any questions.

Advanced Beginning C

This is the class that will help you turn the next corner in your dancing. You'll learn how to put all those fundamentals together and start dancing. And if you have been dancing socially already, it will help you solve some of the early challenges. This class reviews, refines and combines the material in Advanced Beginner A and Advanced Beginner B. Students will develop a better understanding of the structure of tango and work more with combining elements to build improvisational skills for the social dance floor. Musicality and navigation will also be discussed. Throughout we will work on improving skills for creating a comfortable embrace, freedom of movement, and clear partnering.  Prerequisites: Familiarity with the material covered in MIT Advanced Beginner A and B classes (visit the MIT class descriptions to see what is included at that level). Please feel free to contact us about requirements if you are not sure what material you should already be familiar with for this class. Emails should be sent to Pamela at psslavsky@gmail.com.

Improvising in Close Embrace

This class is for those who want to notch up their creativity and comfort in close embrace. We'll look at the essential technique for making sure your open embrace vocabulary is working in close embrace. Then we'll focus on communication between partners and the tools to create rhythmic and textural variation, improving your ability to put the pieces together for a musical and expressive dance.  Prerequisites: MIT classes through the advanced beginner level or equivalent experience. Participants must be already dancing socially and using close embrace at least some of the time. Please contact us at psslavsky@gmail.com for details about requirements if you have any questions.
