Tango Levels
The Festival workshops are designed for dancers of a certain level. Since everyone learns at their own pace and has varying levels of fitness, fluidity, and experience on the dance floor, consider these descriptions as a guide based on what you should be able to do, rather than the amount of time you’ve spent learning Tango.
If you’re unsure about your level, we recommend discussing it with an advanced dancer in your community to ensure the best fit for your skills and learning experience.
Teachers at the festival will teach to the level described, especially the Advanced level. If you find you have chosen the wrong level class at the festival, you can go to the registration desk and change into a more appropriate level for free within the first 15 minutes.
