Tango Argentino

Classes - Timetables

The classes are meant for who would like to dance Argentine Tango in a ball room (Tango Café) with dignity, without getting in the way of the other dancers, for who has a high dancing capacity and a large knowledge of the various styles of Tango and Tango music. Tango can be slow, quick, rhythmic or accompanied by a song; the Tango Vals and the Milonga. Patricia Müller teaches the typical style of the Centre of Buenos Aires where the dancers lean on each other at breast level forming a reversed ”V”. This allows (permits) the woman’s immediate response to the directions and the passes indicated by her partner (Articles, Tango Styles 2).

The classes are divided into 4 levels (from beginners to advanced). Each of these 4 levels teaches the posture, basic passes and finally to combine these passes into infinite figures. All this to prepare you for dancing in the ball room.

The teaching takes place in the Ki Dojo in a room of 200 sqm with parquet, mirrors and a professional music installation (Workshops). L'insegnamento avviene nella sala grande del Ki Dojo di ca. 200 mq con parquet, specchi ed impianto musicale professionale (in questi locali si svolgono anche i nostri Stages).
