Dear Corvallis Tango community -
We are at the start of our Spring 2026 Tango season of lessons and dancing. For this season, we will have the assistance of Rowan McLachlan, an experienced Tango dancer who is back dancing with us in Corvallis. She brings much insight and passion for this beautiful dance! 💞
The upcoming lessons begin this week, below are the links to register. Please click on the links for more information on costs, and scheduling.
Beginner Tango for 'Couples': (10 weeks) We will meet at the Corvallis Community Center on Tuesdays at 6 PM. Find a friend or partner to dance with! We will learn to dance Tango from the very basics of vocabulary, connection, and musicality.
We begin Tuesday, April 7.
Pivots and Circularity - Intermediate Tango:
(8 weeks) We will meet at Odd Fellows Hall on Thursdays at 6:30 PM. This series is a 'deep dive' into pivots for both leads and follows. Although we initially learn pivots in the context of 'ochos' for follows, understanding the mechanics of pivots is essential for both Leads and Follows as we advance in the dance. This series is for dancers who are familiar with the fundamental vocabulary and language of Tango, and want to develop more fluidity, confidence and balance in motion.
We begin Thursday, April 9.
Our community has been through many changes recently, and I appreciate all your patience and encouragement during this time. I hope to continue to offer spaces and opportunities to learn Tango, and I hope that you can continue to bring forward your willingness to learn, and connect with each other. Thank you for dancing with us <3.
Happy Spring, and Happy April Milonga!!
Isabel 🌷
