Guide to Tango Levels:

All Levels - Everyone is welcome to participate in these workshops from beginner to Advanced.

Intermediate - You are an experienced social dancer. You feel comfortable with the basics, can lead and follow with great confidence and are working on intermediate tango elements and some more advanced stuff, in both open and close embrace. It is quite natural for you to adapt your style of dancing to different orchestras. You have been dancing tango regularly, at least twice a week, for at least 2 years or longer.

Advanced - You are an experienced dancer who feels equally confident in tango, waltz and milonga. You have a very good balance and technique and dance with equal comfort in both close and open embrace. Dancing on crowded floors is never a problem and you never collide with or disturb other couples. You have a good understanding of musicality in tango.  You have been dancing tango regularly, at least 2-3 times a week, for at least 3 - 5 years or more.
