This fun and relaxed class will focus on the first eight basic lead and follow patterns emphasizing important elements as the man leading, the lady following, the "ocho" or figure eight, rhythm and the exciting Tango walk!

This progressive focuses on the fundamentals of Argentine Tango including posture, embrace, walking steps and rhythmic movements. We develop steps that are immediately useful on the dance floor, work on special leading and following techniques necessary to dance comfortably in this close embrace, and develop an understanding of the music. And we have fun dancing! This class is appropriate for beginning tango dancers as well as those who have been dancing tango for awhile but are new to this style.

FLAMENCO
Flamenco Beginners (Sevillana )
Sevillana is a popular flamenco-style dance from Seville (Spain).The Sevillana originate in Seville. It is an old folk dance, danced by couples of all ages and sexes during celebrations (fiestas or ferias), often by whole families and pueblos. Sevillanas choreography is very stable, and knowing it is very useful, since it is a fiesta dance. This is why learning flamenco usually starts with this particular dance.
Open Flamenco Level
Flamenco is the traditional song and dance of the Gypsies (flamencos) of Andalusia in southern Spain. The art form developed over several centuries from Gypsy, Moorish, Andalusian, and other roots. Flamenco music and dance became popular in the early 19th century as café entertainment. In flamenco dancing there are several types of foot sounds that can be made by the dance shoes . Individual genres include the light bulerías; the more serious soleares and its lighter descendant, the alegrías; the fandangos grandes, a serious adaptation of a lighter non-Gypsy genre; the malagueñas, an offshoot of the fandangos; and cantos grandes such as the siguiriyas gitanas and saetas .
