Join us for another fabulous weekend of tango structure, rhythm, and classic sequences. 4 workshops, Milonga, and private lessons with tango maestro Andrés Amarilla. We are so grateful for his thoughtful, tailored teaching and presence for our growing Gainesville and surrounding community of dancers. Beginners join us for the Pre-Milonga workshop and Milonga on Saturday evening.
This weekend is all about navigation.
We will explore five essential structures that let you dance fully without needing space. Each class focuses on movement that stays in place—using pivots, changes of direction, and compact sequences to keep things musical and efficient. These are tools built for the social floor, especially when the line of dance is tight and every step matters.
Hamacas: Control Through Change of Direction
Rocking steps to reset, redirect, and stay on axis
Medialunas: Turning Without Traveling
Compact pivots that generate motion without distance
Ocho Cortados: Interrupt and Resolve Clearly
A reliable structure to end, redirect, or re-enter movement
Cadenas: Controlled Loops of Movement
Three-step snippets to untangle cross-system situations
Experience the music and positive vibes in a professional recording studio at our beloved local Heartwood Soundstage listening room. Can you guess what kind of floor we dance on?
