Tango Touch is Melbourne’s newest Argentine Tango school, ready to equip you with a unique language of dance to connect and converse in a whole new way.
We are targeting beginners currently but can accommodate intermediates if they turn up!
We start at 7 pm to add a half hour of value to our classes. We will work on the tango technique: walking, contra-body, pivoting, circularity and building as we go!
Biomechanical integrity in bodily structure and movement is foundational to internal somatic flow and well-being. With this as our fundamental intention, let’s refine and find nuance and finesse in our way of ‘being-in-body’.
Our classes are open-level and are taught by Bill Jarman and Leigh Rogan who are two of Melbourne’s most experienced and well-respected tango teachers.
The class cost is $25 per person per class. No partner is required.
Everyone is invited to come and share in the combined knowledge of two of Melbourne’s most well-known and experienced tango maestros, teaching together again!
Level 2 Tango Classes are all about going beyond the steps and focusing on how to create feelings and effects through the tango technique.
At Tango Melbourne, we place dancing at the top of the pile. Often schools talk about what is right and wrong. We like to teach what is possible and let you choose how you will use the tools we provide.
Tango Melbourne Level 2 classes explore deeper the feelings of dancing and provide you the tools to really express yourself in the dance of tango
Come and grow your tango and experience the highest level of improvised partner dance.
Push your tango a bit further. Tango level 1.5 is a combination of Movement sequences, Tango Vals and Tango Milonga.
Sequences are some of the most common and usable sequences so that you are ready to go out and move with others without having to worry about knowing what to do.
In the Vals / Milonga Classes, you will learn the way to dance to Vals & Milonga.
At a Tango Social event (also called a milonga) the music is divided into 3 types. Tango, Vals, and Milonga (the musical style, not the social event…yes we know its confusing). Although Tango is the majority of the music played the other 2 styles are used every 4 or for tandas (groups of songs)
Tango Vals is a dance in groups of 3 like other valses however, in Tango Vals you will be using your Argentine Tango ideas to make it all happen.
Milonga is where tango started. It is a dance based in groups of 2 and is the ‘fun’ more folk style of tango.
Vals / Milonga is all about the fun, getting involved, and discovering more about tango.
Level 1 Fundamental Tango Classes are all about getting the fundamentals of tango, not as a style but as a language. In this tango class, we look to give you the ability to dance without having to overthink moves. We want you to feel free to feel the dance not to get stuck in steps.
Tango can be so much more than a series of steps. In the Level 1 fundamental classes, we make it easy and fun to learn all that you will need to get out dancing on the social floor.
Tango Melbourne has worked to make a curriculum that have you learning deep technique without ever knowing it.
You will find yourself just enjoying and having fun. Come and start your journey into the life-changing world of Tango!
