Would you like to learn to tango?

Free beginning Argentine tango dance lesson from 7:30-8:30 PM on Thursday 8/31 at Play Dance Bar with instructor Mary Yang. (No partner or experience necessary.) We have also invited experienced tangueros from Nashville's tango community to take the class with you and help you.

Argentine tango is a vibrant and playful dance between two people. It has a rich potential for expression, improvisation and connection and is danced in both modern and traditional styles. It is often described as a passionate dance, because of the close connection partners can have, the character of the music, and also relating to some of the dance's history.

We're back at Salsa Restaurant Nashville this week!

Lesson at 9:30 by special guest instructor, the lovely Tonya Miller, and our very own Mike East.

Dancing to follow! Music provided by the coolest guy in town, DJ Bryant D

The class will cater to multiple levels from absolute beginners to more advanced levels, and individual attention will be provided as much as possible to facilitate learning.

About the Instructor: Alex's passion and ambition for Argentine Tango have been apparent from the moment he started dancing. Over the following years he made frequent trips around the nation where he attended workshops and danced with some of the most famous authentic Argentine tango dancers. In 2013, he moved to Nashville, enrolled in medical school, and began teaching at the Vanderbilt Tango Club. As a classically trained violinist, Alex strongly believes in connecting music to movements. Alex's teaching focuses on the connection and elegance of the dance. He believes that by transforming the way we see and relate to our partner, the music, and our movements as a whole, we can dance with the greatest ease and efficiency.

About Argentine Tango: Argentine Tango is a partnered social dance that emphasizes connection with your partner and movement together to the music. The partners dance for each other and not for anyone else; there are no judges watching. Generally, one person in the couple leads (this person is called “the leader”), while the other one ("the follower”) follows. At the Vanderbilt Tango Club, we emphasize leading and following, improvisation, and musicality. Above all, we strive to help dancers develop a comfortable embrace with their partner and fluidity of movement that feels good to all!

Frequently Asked Questions
- No partner necessary.
- Wear comfortable clothing.
- Footwear: wear shoes with leather or suede soles (or skip the shoes and wear fuzzy socks) so you can pivot. Make sure the shoes stay on your feet easily (no mules or sling-backs) so that you can walk backwards.
- We will be rotating partners often, though you will get to practice with whoever you want, and you will spend a bit more time in class with your partner than with strangers. We think partner rotation is a good idea to help you improve your dance; however, having said that if you are uncomfortable changing partners we will understand if you want to skip partner changes. However, we really prefer that you DO change partners, since we are all trying to work together to get better.
