Tango is a journey of
transforming yourself
into a more gracious person.
Here is how you can learn to dance the tango
like a pro:
Step 1:
Take a Sampler Class.
These 1-hour sessions are usually held before
the start of milongas. This
is where you go to get your feet
wet.
Step 2:
Go to a tango milonga to
observe how other people dance.
Step 3: Take a
level 1 Introduction Course
to master the basic walk, ochos
and simple turns.
Step 4: Check out music and videos
of tango movies, orchestras,
and shows to see
how diverse the tango
can be.
Step 5: Attend
level 2 and higher
Courses
(3-6 months) to
learn more turns, figures,
techniques, and embellishments.
Step 6: Practice twice a week at
Practicas -- tango is like gymnastics,
you must condition your muscles.
Step 7: Attend
Workshops
given by visiting
teachers to polish your techniques
and acquire new ideas.
Step 8: Participate in
dance demos and performances
in Arts Festival to gain confidence.
Step 9: Plan your travel with tango
in mind. There are
dozens of festivals every year in many cities
around the world. With your tango
skill, you can dance with strangers in any city.
Step 10: Go to Buenos Aires, the Mecca
of Tango!
(This entire process takes 3 or more years.
