MINI-SPECIALSare VERY special.
Mini-Specials are one of the very best ways to get lots of bang for your buck with a visiting tango hotshot. The idea is to put together your own group of 3 (or 4) leaders and 3 (or 4) followers -- folks at about your own tango level, with whom you like to learn. Choose any topic you'd all like to work on (the cross? connection? colgadas? Int/Advanced women leading?) and get Luciana's help with it for 1.5 hours. It costs $35/person (+ $12 floor fee fm the group). You'll get lots of hands on, individualized attention. And you'll have a group of mates with whom to review and practice when she's long-gone.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Luciana will be available for private/semi-private lessons at $100/hour + $?/hr floor fee, depending on location (TBD).
Please bring a partner if possible, even if you’re not sharing the hour.
