Fundamentals 7-8
Practica (included with either class) 8-8:30
Second class 8:30-9:30
The focus of the fundamentals class for the month is synchronizing our movement with the movement of our partner. We will discuss how to connect with the floor, move through the body, communicate using the embrace, and step in unison. We encourage all ability levels to come to this class, as these basic ideas, not steps, are the essence of tango.
Our second class this month will examine times in the dance that focus on either the leader or follower. A dancer can provide stability while his or her partner performs a difficult step, or one dancer may place the other in the spotlight. It is important for leaders to grab opportunities to play and for followers to seize their own moments with appropriate poise and embellishments.

We would also like to thank all of you for graciously welcoming Viviana Parra and Julio Bassan. They love Portland and are looking forward to coming back again in the future thanks to all of you.
