This Tango Boot Camp* is an ideal introduction, for students with no prior experience,  into this incredibly beautiful and complex dance. 

In 6 1/2 hours, you'll learn the fundamentals of the Argentine tango including the musicality, etiquette, and history of the dance. 

During the morning of Tango Boot Camp,  you'll gain an understanding of foundational dance concepts.

You will start dancing Argentine tango almost from the beginning of class.

At lunch, you'll watch a movie on the tango embrace and discuss tango etiquette. (Bring a “brown bag "lunch)

After lunch, we'll first review the morning curriculum and then study the cross system and practice turning ochos.

At this Tango Boot Camp, you'll have the opportunity to learn both leading and following.

During the Tango Boot Camp, we'll listen to music mostly from the Argentine Golden Age, of the 30's. 40's, 50's. 

As a result, you'll learn the rhythym and struture of traditional tango music.

This Tango Boot Camp focuses on learning traditional tango. Other related dances such as vals, milonga, and nuevo are not covered during this class. 

After completing the "basic training," we trust you will continue learning Argentine tango with other local instructors and attend local and regional tango workshops. 

In addition, we hope  you will  embrace tango across identity, class, and generational boundaries and become an integral part of the inclusive CU tango "collective" community.
