Class details are below. Monday 6-7 pm: PCCL Deepening the Fundamentals The most important steps of tango - walking, ochos, & turns, will be used as the base from which to dive deeper into both the technique of tango (embrace, posture, balance, connection) as well as the more playful elements of tango (rhythm, variation, musicality). Learn how to make even the most basic of tango steps more rich, juicy & interesting. Deepen your ownership of Your Tango, while also deepening your connection & communication with your dance partner. This is a perfect class to warmup with before the general class from 7-8 pm, followed by the Milonga until 10pm. May 24, June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, July 6, 13, 20. $5 cost for entire evening!

All classes at PCCL except May 28, June 4 & 11 - see note below Each class will focus on a particular tango ‘step’ (walking patterns, ocho patterns, turns, sacadas, boleos, wraps, ganchos, etc). Both the leader & follower roles will be studied in depth to deepen technique, connection, and enjoyment! While coming with your own partner is not required, note that we will be dancing in partners the entire class, with the changing of partners encouraged so all can have fun & learn. Cost: $15 Thursday Classes, Alberta Ave. May 28, June 4 & June 11 7-9pm.

About Tracy Many of you already know Tracy, who’s been coming here for the past few years to share her gleanings from the birthplace of tango. Before moving to BA in 2019, Tracy was the owner of Integration Pilates Studio, where not only did she teach yoga, Pilates, dance, meditation, & functional exercise, she also held monthly milongas for the Edmonton tango community. Before that, she danced professionally in the Toronto area, where she earned her BFA in ballet & Contemporary Dance from York University. This is all to say that Tracy is extremely passionate about dance, tango, teaching, and sharing :) Over these past 7 years in BA, she has been deepening her understanding of tango from both the leader & follower perspective, as well as of tango music & culture. She is very much looking forward to sharing a beautiful embrace with the Edmonton Tango Community this summer.
