13th Annual Argentine Tango Funtensive 1-10 March 2024

Tango Funtensive- an Argentine Tango immersion!

Come join us for a focused series of Argentine Tango lessons!
No partner/previous experience needed for beginner track (level 1). Experience required for intermediate track.

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, 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.

If you have friends who would like to be on the dancesport endurance dance mailing list, it would awesome if you could send them this website. The emails are sent out approximately once every week or two weeks and contain information on great dance events in DC as well as all of the classes offered in DanceSport Endurance and several social dances, to include Viennese Waltz balls, Tango Milongas, Swing dances, Salsa, ballroom, latin, and more! The DanceSport Endurance movement grows everyday. Thousands of students have begun dancing through the Dancesport Endurance program!
