About this Event
Want to find out why SO many Argentine TANGO Dancers along the South Coast are suddenly raving about IDW's NEW Saturday Afternoon Classes in SOUTHAMPTON? (See below for Quotes!!)
Then come along to a Class that makes EVERYTHING involved in learning or improving your Tango EASY instead of constantly telling you how HARD it all is!!
It's a Brand New Programme of Accelerated Learning for Argentine Tango BEGINNERS and IMPROVERS in Southampton (with MasterClasses in Specialist Topics afterwards for more experienced Dancers)...But we're also being told by the Dancers that have tried it that it's the BEST class available anywhere on the South Coast for ALL dancers that value improving Fundamentals or Leading/Following Technique, or just want to encourage a partner or friend to take up Argentine Tango
And the FUN-damentals Class on May 4th is totally FREE to those booking on the BLUES / TANGO Fusion MasterClass immediately afterwards!!!! (See: https://www.facebook.com/events/249279949359587/ )
'Total Tango' – The Differences:
• Just do the Dates that suit you – NO course fee!
• Friendly Supportive Environment – Go at your Own Pace
• Special Programme/Offer for mixed ability Couples/Pairs (see below)*
• Direct Focus on Quality of Movement and Musicality from Day One!!
• Small Class Sizes with lots of Personal Attention
• Full Personal Feedback from the ONLY full time professional Tango Teaching Couple working EITHER side of the Solent
• No difficult ‘Moves’/Routines – just the Joy of Movement to Music!
• Learn to dance Tango to both Traditional (Golden Age) classics at Milongas AND the music you already love at Mixed-Genre/Expressive Dance Events!! :)
'TOTAL TANGO' features the same high level of Professional Teaching, Personal Attention (with INDIVIDUAL assessment and improvement suggestions for ALL participants in BOTH roles) and Attention to Detail as our Saturday afternoon Tango *MasterClasses*...
...But goes at an easier pace and is specially designed for Tango TOTAL BEGINNERS and IMPROVERS in general, plus those who are not yet ready or do not have the confidence to take on the MasterClasses, or for MIXED-ABILITY COUPLES where one partner has danced Tango for much longer and wants to support the other in a Special Class to help them to catch up as quickly as possible!
ALSO GREAT for those who value continuously improving Fundamentals and/or who have tried other classes but found the Pace, Teaching Style or choice of Music/Material didn't suit them...
If you have any questions, just PM us or ‘phone Mandy on 07534 242834 for a chat about what’s involved in Learning Tango with the Island Dance Wizards... And we’ll see you soon!
