[Morgan Tango]

Hi everyone, 

What a joy to have over thirty dancers on the floor at La Milonga Alegría on Saturday! Congratulations to the brave new folks who came for the lesson and stayed all night at their first milonga, and a heartfelt thank you to all the longtime community members who were so welcoming. Save the date for the next Milonga Alegría on Saturday, January 17 featuring DJ Jazmine.

The new year is coming soon, and so are more tango classes & events. We will have Practica on Thursday, January 1st and it's my turn to host! Come ring in the New Year with some dancing. Then the Tuesday beginner plus and intermediate classes continue with another Four Week Series in Ashland on Tuesday nights at the DanceSpace Jan 6-27. See details below.

Finally, I'm very (very!) excited to announce an all-new Six Week Beginner Series at the Annex Dance Studio in Medford on Sundays 3:00-4:15pm Jan 4 - Feb 8. Ben and I will be teaching this class that is perfect for a total beginner, someone returning to tango after time away, or anyone who wants to practice the basics. At the end of the series, students will be able to feel confident and enjoy dancing in a social setting.

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.
