June Beginner Argentine Tango Workshop + Practica
Build your partner dancing skills in a beginner-friendly workshop led by Andy, author of How to Dance With a Partner. The session begins promptly, starting with an introductory class, moving into a special topics segment, and finishing with open practice and social dancing that continues as long as there are dancers on the floor. Admission is $20, with payment by cash or Zelle. Arrive early to enjoy tea and snacks, meet the instructor and fellow dancers, and ease in with a relaxed social warm up before class. Bring shoes that slide and water. Sharing finger foods or snacks is welcome. Andy’s book will be available at about half off the regular price. The location can be tricky to find, and directions are available by messaging Ratna.
