Discover the beauty, intimacy, and expressive artistry of Argentine Tango in this 4-week introductory course. Designed for absolute beginners and curious new dancers, this course builds a foundation in close embrace technique, partner connection, posture, walking patterns, pivots, and musical interpretation, all rooted in the tradition of social tango.
Argentine Tango is an improvised dance—there are no memorized routines. You’ll learn how to create movement in real time with your partner, communicate through intention, and respond to the music with grounded elegance. Each class includes practice time to build comfort, confidence, and trust in leading or following.
Beyond technique, Argentinian Tango is a community dance. Throughout the course, you’ll be introduced to tango etiquette (codigos), the culture of the milonga (social dance), and how to navigate the floor with grace, preparing you to join our Tango socials, meet new dancers, and grow within Toronto’s vibrant tango scene.
No partner required. Just bring curiosity, patience, and a willingness to connect—your tango journey starts here.

Intro to Contemporary: Technique & Musicality
Build a strong technical foundation while discovering how your body responds to music, rhythm, and breath. This course introduces students to essential contemporary technique inspired by modern dance styles such as Horton (shapes and strength), Graham (spirals and contractions), and Limón (breath and fall/recovery).
Dancers will learn fundamental concepts like weight shift,
breath phrasing, connected pathways through the spine, and how
dynamics shape movement quality. Each week includes conditioning,
centre work, across-the-floor progressions, and phrase
building.
We’ll apply our developing technique to choreography, working
toward a short piece learned throughout the session. Students get
to experience how structured contemporary technique transforms into
expressive, musical performance.
Goal: To develop coordination, rhythm, contemporary alignment, and breath-driven movement while building confidence in musicality through choreography.
Who this is good for: Beginners (ages 18+) who want a clear technical roadmap for contemporary, or who enjoy learning through structure, rhythm, and choreography. Especially great for dancers transitioning from ballet or jazz, or those who want a technique-focused introduction before exploring floorwork or improvisation.
