Argentine Tango is an interpretive, improvisational social dance that allows the dancers to develop a deep connection between themselves, the music, and the environment in which they are dancing.
In this course, you will learn the very basics of Argentine Tango.
The walk, the embrace, turns, how to lead and follow each other through any figures.
