17th Annual Argentine Tango Funtensive Camps 26 Feb-8 March 2026

TWO camps in one month, one camp for foundational technique of Argentine Tango, a second for more advanced technique!

This year features TWO immersion camps:

CAMP 1: Feb 26, 27, 28 and Mar 1 (4 sessions) FOUNDATIONAL TECHNIQUE: This first camp will slowly but surely teach you the fundamentals of Argentine Tango.

CAMP 2: Mar 5, 6, 7, 8 (4 sessions) EXPERIENCED TANGUEROS: Camp 2 is for those with some Tango experience who want to take things to the next level!

Every year we teach different movements and repeat core movements. Repeat to master!

METRO ACCESSIBLE VIA SILVER LINE!

Experience the Tango, and experience a wonderful addition to your life.You never know where it may take you!

We will ramp up your tango skills each night. You will learn basics– Boleos, Sacadas, maybe even Volcadas, rhythms such as Tango-Waltz, leading and following, social skills, etiquette, and more. You will also learn what those words mean! By the end, you will have developed skills that will enable you to function socially on a tango floor, and you will have an opportunity to try them out at a “Milonga”, or social dance. And you will make a lot of dance friends while doing so!

Instructors

Todd and Migle! Todd has 28 years of dance experience behind him, and Migle has more! 🙂 They have studied all of the social dances extensively as well as ballet, modern, tap, jazz, afro-cuban, and aerobics. They bring all of this experience into their tango while striving to keep true to the core of Tango! They teach a systematic yet artistic approach, using neutral technique. Todd is a certified DVIDA instructor and uses the rigorous DVIDA syllabus as a backbone for the immersions, and both have influences from Buenos Ares and around the world.
