fall student showcase

Do you want to be in a Tango show? Well now is your chance!

This 10 week intensive choreography program will prepare you to be part of two spectacular group tango performances. We are very excited to be partnering with Carlos Urrego, a world renowned tango dancer, teacher, choreographer and stage performer to create this life changing program for you.

The commitment for this program involves 2 hours of group training per week on Mondays, short daily homework assignments, 1 hour of compulsory practice time per week with your assigned partner, and one private lesson for pre-performance refinements and preparation! Your tuition fee also covers the cost of a stunning custom made costume.

Spots will be extremely limited for this program and we expect to receive an overwhelming response. We therefore recommend that you reach out to us right away if you’d like to enroll, in order to avoid disappointment (don’t say we didn’t warn you!). We invite you not to let “limitations” stop you from applying. The show will be made up of two separate groups and material will be curated to the ability (and experience) levels of each group, and to some extent, each couple. A parter will be assigned to you by the teaching team, but you may put in a request for a particular partner.

Participants are required to commit fully, and show up to the entire program (emergencies excepted). Applicants with prior commitments during the assigned program period will not be accepted into the program.

”How might training for stage tango benefit my social dancing?” we hear you ask. Practicing and perfecting a choreography is an intensive training in tango movement, form, connection and expression. You will safely build strength, mobility and flexibility, and gain competence in executing complex tango vocabulary (most of which can theoretically be used in an improvisational context, ie. on the social dance floor, making it directly beneficial to your social dancing!). Trust us, we speak from experience here.
