Mondays -- June 4 , 11, 18, 25
at Viscount Dance Studio B, 726 E. Burnside, Portland
6:30 – 7:30 Level 1C – Beginners (with MEGAN only)
This month we'll introduce the Crossed Foot System of dancing -- a whole new universe in which no one is ever "on the wrong foot". We will cover a couple ways of changing systems, and some "steps" that easily flow from (& with) the changes. It opens up new ways to be musical, expressive and creative, and it expands the flexibility of connection with your partner.
(No pre-requisite. Levels 1A, 1B & 1C are all pre-requisites for Level 2 at 7:30, though they do not have to be taken in that order.)

Bill Alsup is opting for a hiatus from teaching on Mondays for now, wanting to spread his energy a little less widely -- "just" work, bicycling, and the Sunday practica. After several years of teaching with me, I'd say he's earned a rest :-)
You probably know Chris Perkins by sight at least -- tall, slender, smooooth dancer, was Luciana's leader of choice in her more advanced workshops last month.
Please join us as we teach our first series (Levels 2 & 3) together!

7:30 – 8:30 Level 2 – Advanced Beginner/ Intermediate (with CHRIS & MEGAN)
Close Embrace. June is the month to begin (or refine) your tango in close embrace. We’ll work on the details of posture & connection with comfort and fluidity –- adapting your current tango skills & learning new pieces that are especially yummy in close.
Pre-requisite: minimum of Level 1A, 1B and 1C (in any order), or teacher pre-approval. 503 222-4691.
8:30 – 9:30 Level 3 - Intermediate/Advanced (with CHRIS & MEGAN)
Milonga! Fun, relaxed & rhythmic (not the scary “I can’t stop running” version). We’ll work with the connection, counter-body motion, step qualities, embellishments, vocabulary & phrasings that make milonga irresistible.
Pre-requisite: at least 6 months of classes, practices, and social dancing.
