The Foundation Programme

The Foundation Programme is designed to develop and maintain your key Tango skills, and it’s not just for Beginners. Of course, it’s the place to start, but we are finding that many experienced dancers want to improve their basics as well. 

It’s very important that we all have a place to work on our fundamental technique without feeling we have been “sent back to the Beginners.” We have found that our own dancing improves greatly through repeatedly teaching this programme.

The Foundation Programme is also especially valuable for those who have previously learned Tango using choreographed sequences and the Basic 8 approach, and who now want to develop their Leading / Following, to be able to dance in a more expressive and improvising way.

If you are new to Tango, the programme builds week on week to develop an understanding of all the core elements of Tango, including posture, balance, Leading & Following, key steps of the Tango repertoire and becoming more familiar with Tango music.
