You will learn the fundamental aspects of Argentine Tango (not ballroom tango), including posture, balance, axis, weight transfer, the embrace, the walk, and other primary elements of this beautiful and elegant dance.

The classes are taught with an emphasis on "milonguero style" or social tango as it is danced in Buenos Aires to this day. Both open and close embrace will be introduced.

There will also be discussion of the colorful history, culture, and music of Argentine tango interspersed throughout the classes.

The class material is progressive, with each class building on the prior class material, so it's important to attend each class.

No partner is required, although it's better if you can bring along a friend or significant other, of course. Leather soled shoes are best. Ladies - please avoid pointed toe shoes and shoes without ankle straps. Gentlemen - please avoid cowboy boots, but they are better than running shoes.

No prior dance experience is required.

Classes will be taught by Alex Long, a new Wimberley resident (recently relocated here from Aspen, Colorado) and tango dancer of 4-1/2 years. Alex's primary teaching influence is Gustavo Naveira y Giselle Anne of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Alex has studied intensively with them, as well as numerous other top international tango teachers. (See Alex's detailed bio below.)
