| This hour-long class is for preparation and building awareness of how we use our body in different applications with different qualities in the dance.

18.00-20.00 > Intermediate Level Tango |
| Our intermediate level lessons are focused on reinforcing the fundamental building blocks of social dancing, as well as introducing concepts to stimulate the creative element found in improvisation. Connection and communication skills, combined with awareness of the many structures composing improvisation tango, create a very dynamic and personal menu of options for each student. |

TRAINING WITH MARIO & ANABELLA
| Mario & Anabella have developed a unique and very effective method of working with students for proven results. |
| Focusing not only on what conservative traditionalists consider important in the tango - the walk, the embrace, giving time for the woman - but also on the more contemporary aspects of the dance - fluidly and comfortably transitioning from position to position, modifying the embrace to accomodate the space necessary, and creative interpretation of the music. Widely recognized as popular exponents of socially danceable tango - Mario & Anabella have built a reputation as being two of the most comfortable and easy to dance with professionals in their field. |
