What You Need To Know
We feel very strongly that good basic technique makes for good Tango!

​

At The Berkshire Tango Club,  developing basic technique is an integral part of an evening session. To achieve this we use popular Tango movements as a fun based vehicles for learning.

 

Our Techniques classes are divided into two parts:

• Part 1 - Fundamental Technique; and

• Part 2 - Advanced Technique.

​

We recommend that Recent Beginners moving to the Techniques Classes stay initially only for Part 1 until they have completed a further six classes - Part 2 requires concepts introduced in Part 1.

​

 

What Will You Learn?:

• Development of walking technique (essential to good Tango);

• Different aspects of walking with your partner (parallel feet, same foot, use of heel/ball of foot, projection and emphasis);

• Development of Giros (Turns);

• Introduction to Adornos (Embellishments);

• Devlopment of Musicality in Tango;
