How to learn to tango by noirangelina

"Spectacular, quite possibly one of the most fun and interesting things I have ever tried"

How I did it: I have been taking a local class from the instructors of http://seattletango.com/.  The classes are on Tuesday evenings and they have a dance space on Capitol Hill.  I need to practice more often, but the classes are informative and fun.

I am still taking beginners classes and it may take me a while before I am actually good.  But I am taking the first steps to get to my goal of tangoing in Argentina!

Lessons & tips: Splurge on good shoes.  Very very important.

It made me
Very satisfying.

How I did it: Great teachers, and regular practise. There are no short cuts. Try different teachers until you find some that work for you. Build your own theory of how it works, and make it your own. Enjoy it, and get over the failures, of which there will be many. Read how I did it…

    Milonga 2 months ago

    Last night I traveled with some friends to Montreal for a Milonga night. It was certainly a little intimidating, some people were so spectacular! While I spent a good deal of time watching, I learned a lot. I have a long way to go before I get to their level!

    I went to my first official lesson last night with four guy friends, one of whom just spent a year in Argentina. I certainly got a lot of practice!

    Getting there 5 months ago

    I have been dancing 3 times a week.

    Doing my bronze level test in Melbourne come Sept. Once that’s done, I’d close this entry.

    But I will continue on to reach Silver,... Gold

    like my girl ruthie! 6 months ago

    My girlfriend got me turned on to tango a couple of years ago, and I have wanted to get back to it ever since! I have not made it a priority, but once a few things start settling down, I think my hubby and I will be looking for a fun hobby that we can do together—since I don’t think he’ll ever really want to take up knitting!

    No time or spare dollars for this at present. Tango is great because any age can do it.

    Aknal is so chuffed she's been cheered

    This has been top of my dream list for so long 6 months ago

    I love dancing and have tried several classes over the years. I have signed up for various Tango classes, attended and done well in the classes when the teacher swaps people around but as I don’t go with a partner, I don’t dance much in the freestyle section. There are weekend beginners classes nearby. Last year I plucked up the courage to ask three different men, none of whom took me up but plucking up the courage to ask was a big step. MUST revisit this and get to a weekend course. Who to ask next?
