WEEKEND BASICS SERIES
24-25 April & 1-2 May .

Delhi Tango will be offering a series of basics classes during the following two weekends (Thereafter our venue Lok Kala Manch closes for renovation). The package of eight classes will give freshers an introduction to Argentine Tango. For those already familiar with Argentine tango but with a need to brush up on some aspects it will be possible to sign up for one or more two-hour sessions separately.

CONTENT
Everyone will be encouraged to both lead and follow because we believe that being thus “bilingual” enhances your dancing and understanding of tango regardless of the role that you conventionally dance. We have also found that it is not more difficult and does not take more time to learn both roles. You may compare it to children who without struggle learn two (or more) languages. Naturally, you will have the choice to stay with one role.

Saturday 24 April: 4-6 pm.
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF TANGO:
Connection & Communication, Lead & Follow, Walking
All forms of couple dance require some connection & communication, lead & follow. But Argentine Tango will simply not happen if these elements are not in place. Think of each dance as a conversation on the dance floor, one you have never experienced before. This is precisely what makes Argentine tango so exciting and yes, challenging, too.

Who will benefit from this class?

• Someone who wants to learn Argentine tango for the first time. You just cannot do without it.
• Any Leader who has experienced frustration at not being able to communicate your intention to your Follower. Or Follower at the receiving end of such miscommunication.
• Anyone who wants to understand why leading is as much about following as about “leading”. It's usable life skill.

Sunday 25 April: 4-6 pm.
OCHOS, “eights”
Ochos are one of the signature steps of tango. Most commonly the Follower is led to do back ochos, which means she moves back in an S-like fashion. Reversing the direction, the Follower goes into front ochos.

Who will benefit from this class?

• Someone who wants to learn ochos.
• Any Leader or Follower who feels there's scope for their ochos to be more graceful and enjoyable.

Saturday 1 May: 4-6 pm.
The Classic “CROSS”
Far from the easiest one to lead, but one of the classics. Therefore we will reveal some of the secrets to leading the cross – and following it. Also, it is useful as a transition to other steps, for example the front ocho taught in the previous 2-hour class.

Who will benefit from this class?

• Someone who wants to learn the Cross for the first time.
• Any Leader who has uttered “I wanted to you to cross”, or thought it quietly. Or Follower at the receiving end of the misunderstanding.

Saturday 2 May: 4-6 pm.
Simple Fancy Steps
Want to impress and surprise your follower? There's a bagful of steps, which fulfil the requirement of looking and feeling fancy, yet are not overwhelmingly difficult to do.

Who will benefit from this class?

• Anyone who wishes to add to their tango repertoire.
• Anyone Leader who feels he keeps doing the same old things and is looking for inspiration.
