Group Classes in Albuquerque

Tango Downtown | Karen Reck & Paul Akmajian
Mondays at The Harwood Art Center, 1114 7th St NW, at Mountain Rd.
Classes in Milonguero Style Argentine Tango.
Summer Session II: June 29-July 20, Embracing Each Other in the Music. Exploring our connection to our partner and to the music (tango, milonga, and tango vals).
Essentials I, 7:30-8:30pm for Beginners & up
Essentials II, 8:30-9:30pm for Intermediate & up

Classic Argentine Tango music is intrinsic to the dance. Beginners will receive some grounding in the essential elements of Argentine tango — connection to one's partner, the music, and other dancers sharing the floor. More advanced dancers will be invited to take a deeper look at expressing the depth and subtlties of the music in their dance.

$40/4-class session or $12/class drop-in. $8 for students w/ I.D.
