Join us for another edition of our popular Advanced Beginner Intensive (level 2). This intensive prepares students to take any intermediate-level classes or workshops at the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School. To prepare for the Advanced Beginner Intensive, students should take the Beginner Intensive, or attend Wednesday 8 pm Beginner classes for at least one month.

All students will practice both roles. Because we are practicing both roles, even students with much more experience can benefit from taking the Advanced Beginner Intensive.

Topics covered include:

• Cross System
• The Cross Basic Step
• Back Ochos and steps that are easily accessible from them
• Lead-and-follow improvisation
• Navigation of the social dance floor
• Basic musicality: Phrasing and the Beat

Pricing:
$80 - Full Intensive
$50 - Single Intensive day

Intensive students stay free for the Sunday practica (“Bailongo de los Domingos”) that take place from 4-6 pm on Sunday, March 2.

In addition to the published pricing, we accept sliding scale. Sliding scale payment methods are listed here:
