Classes

The saying that Argentine tango takes “a day to learn and a lifetime to master” is a guiding principle at Strictly Tango. While classes are organized in three levels, movement from one level to another can take some time and is not always a one-way progression. Everyone’s tango journey is unique. An advanced dancer may choose to explore dancing the opposite role and start at Level I again; an experienced dancer who has been away from tango for a few years may find Level II a good fit; a novice dancer taking private sessions and dancing frequently at weekly milongas and practicas may advance quickly. Nadia is committed to ensuring that every Strictly Tango student is enrolled at the most suitable level — in classes that will fortify core skills and offer just the right amount of challenge.

Classes are just one part of the learning experience. Each class session is followed by an open practice of fifteen to twenty minutes where students can practice what they learned that night. Periodically, Nadia offers workshops on specific topics, to give dancers at all levels a chance to learn in a more intensive environment. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of private sessions with Nadia — a great way to get the most out of your time and money, and make progress quickly. Finally, you are encouraged to attend local practicas and milongas to put what you’ve learned into action on the dance floor. There is no substitute for practice!
