Hi everybody, 

There was a sweet and festive group of seven dancers at the New Year's Day practica this past Thursday, thanks to everyone for coming out.

This is a big week with Sunday classes starting TODAY in Medford, and Tuesday classes starting on January 6 in Ashland. There is some room left in both classes and all you need to do is show up at the door. Check out all the details below, bring your tango-curious friends, and I'll see you on the dance floor very soon! 

Warmly, Morgan

Come learn to dance Argentine Tango! Over the course of six weeks, instructors Morgan and Ben will guide you through the basic principles of tango. Each week’s techniques build on the previous week’s material so you can leave the series with a set of strong fundamentals. This format allows all students to grow as a group, deepen their learning each week, and build trust with each other. At the end of the series, students will be able to feel confident and enjoy dancing in a social setting. No partner or experience required to join. If you can walk you can dance tango! Morgan and Ben believe in creating an inclusive, friendly dancing environment where everyone is welcome. Wear something comfortable that you can move in. Bring dance shoes or clean socks, no heels necessary and flats recommended to start.
