tango: walk this way

30 days of argentine tango. This is course is not for the faint hearted. It moves fast, it moves quick. And trust me there’s a lot of ground to cover. And unlike group classes this is a one on one experience. So you will have personalize attention for 30 days.

A 30 Day Intensive ?

A 30 Day Intensive is a 4 week course in the foundation and beginner and intermediate levels of dance to get you up and running so that you can literally go out social dancing in any city in the world, and feel very comfortable and confident that you know what you’re doing. I will spend the necessary time with you to get to that level.

Trust when I say that building a dancer in 30 days to be a good social dancer is not an easy task, truth be told, its almost Herculean in its scope. Because while you may not realize it now, you will realize this later, that to learn argentine tango is one thing, still another is to feel good, and still quite another is to look good all at the same time. To perform that kind of task is a LOT of due diligence. Without this intensive, this would be hours and hours, weeks, months, and years of hard work to get to the point where you can start to feel like you know what you’re doing, and still a few years more after that of struggling with the ups and downs to get to a functional point of understanding the dance from a language stand point. Don’t forget ‘group’ classes, where you may or may not learn a thing. Don’t forget weekend workshops that tend to be like meat markets, especially with the more popular teachers. And then there’s the festivals, visiting teachers, and private lessons that are seemingly contradictory. Oy. Its enough to drive you absolutely insane.

I remove all of that, and make it possible to learn the dance, by breaking it down to byte sized chunks that are digestible and easy to remember, easy to practice, and easy to replicate. This way or method has been tried before, but rest assured never quite like this.

What does ‘Spending’ time with you look like ?

It looks like 3 hours a day for 5 days a week, OR 2 hrs a day for 7 days a week, your choice. We cover the 8 basic movements of the dance (Forward Steps, Side Steps, Back Steps, Forward Ochos, Back Ochos, Molinetes, The Argentine Cross, and the Venerable Ocho Cortado), these are foundational movements. We cover Open and Close embrace. We cover Leading AND Following. And lastly we cover some specialty vocabulary such as Simple Sacadas, Simple Ganchos, Slight Colgadas, Slight Volcadas.

Ok, what’s the catch and cost ?

No catches, no strings, no hidden fees. Straight forward, clean, clear language up front. The fee is seemingly rather steep: $2700.00 per person, and for a couple its $5K. If you stop and you think about it. This is one-on-one time, that’s why its an intensive. You provide air transport to and from your location. You’ll need to find a place to work, a 12 x 12 room with a hardwood floor is best with long floor length mirror on one wall would be good. Its best if this is very well light room. You are responsible for this key element. I can work in your home if that’s acceptable, but your space has to be workable.

All sessions will be video’d. So you can see your progress, as well as go back and review what you’ve learned, after we’ve finished. Plus access to my uncut version of my bootcamp video, with all the toys built in!
