Immersion Workshops

Periodically, Rusty and I offer weekend immersion workshops at our home studio here in Tucson, AZ. We have found that a more intense immersion process is helpful in the learning process. Being immersed in Argentine Tango over a weekend results in the integration of concepts and techniques. Your body begins to adopt the muscle memory it needs to dance confidently and competently with your partner and the music.

Our immersion workshops usually consist of 2 days of a related topic for a total of four 1.5 hour Argentine Tango classes:

  • Introduction to Argentine Tango
  • Beyond the Basics
  • Milonga for Beginners
  • Milonga Beyond the Basics
  • Vals 1-2-3
  • Vals Beyond the Basics
  • Intermediate Figuras and Musicality
  • Advancing your Milongas
  • Creativity for your Vals
  • Advanced Concepts and Techniques
  • These workshops are kept small and intimate to nurture a higher degree of one-on-one attention between students and instructors and to lay the foundations for social interactions and growth amongst the group. The group you learn with become your home dance community out in the world.

    Welcome to Argentine Tango

    In reality, welcome to a new life full of human connections and personal growth – all through the process of learning and dancing Argentine Tango. Argentine Tango is sophisticated, elegant and passionate and will quickly find its way into your heart and soul.

    Argentine Tango is a unique and special dance that improvises, grows and evolves upon the dance floor of the traditions developed in Buenos Aires. These 20th century traditions are the basis of a current world-wide phenomenon of dancers that cross racial and political boundaries. Tango is a true encounter of peace and cohesion and connection that we humans, in our current social and political climates, are finding extremely hard to find elsewhere in our lives.

    Tucson is a very active tango community offering a variety of weekly group classes, practicas and milongas. We love to dance Argentine Tango and dancing Argentine Tango in Tucson is easy to do. Tucson hosts one major Festival per year and hosts a variety of Master Tango instructors from Argentina and around the world. Our tango community is welcoming and open and we are always excited to meet new people taking their first few steps into this elegant and passionate dance.

    We are here to encourage and support your Argentine Tango learning experience. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have and we will do our best to assist you.
