Tango Workshops in the FUNdamentals

Tango Butterfly is growing its Northern Rivers community and invites you to give Tango a try at one of its Workshops in the FUNdamentals of Social Tango.  It is a great way to dive in and see whether it might be right for you.

Called Tango FUN – the idea is to start with no. I, and progress then through to II, III, IV and V

If you’d prefer to learn in a 5-week beginners series, please check out the Introduction to Tango course taught by Dana (the Tango Butterfly) through Byron Community College in South Golden Beach, NSW – here.

These workshops cater to those desiring to learn the CORE language of Tango.

When dancers take time to focus on exploring the CORE FUNdamentals of social Tango, they can easily personalise their Tango while still maximising the connection JOY with anyone, of any level or style.

[TANGO FUN I: for Absolute Beginners]

Tango FUN I covers the absolute FUNdamentals of Social Tango:
walk, embrace, posture, connection, and direction changes, plus play.

You will be able to dance Tango socially and attend practicas after attending this workshop.

Once the FUNdamentals are understood, the dance can be creatively deepened in its practice. It can be shared with family, friends, lovers, sisters, brothers AND even strangers.
