Intermediate Tango II


Deepen your dance through a refined exploration of figures, technique, subtle mechanics, and shared presence. Designed for dancers who have completed the full Foundations pathway or who bring sustained tango experience into the room, each week integrates a flow concept drawn from Zen and the Japanese Tea Ceremony, supporting ease, trust, and embodied intelligence in movement—so technique, musicality, and connection align naturally and support a rich experience.

Prerequisite:
Completion of Tango Foundations – I, II, and III, or over one year of continuous tango learning experience, is required.
