Argentinian Tango in and around Bury St Edmunds
EVERY MONDAY AT THE HUNTER CLUB AN INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED TANGO CLASS FOLLOWED BY A PRACTICA
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL MONDAYS
7.30 - 10.30pm Intermediate level at the Hunter Club
Classes on Mondays are at Intermediate level and you may need advice on whether these classes are suitable for you. We assume that you have some background in dancing Tango, have danced for a while at improver level and are no longer making beginner mistakes in basic technique. Anyone who wishes can try one of these classes and our view is that trying and not succeeding gives you an education into your actual learning limits and boundaries. That said, perseverence on your part, regular practice and attendance at lessons will always make a good dancer of you. A class with one of our teachers is usually one hour long but very often we get in visiting UK or International teachers and these classes usually last one and a half hours. The fee for our usual class is £9 but with visiting teachers we now charge £15. The format for these evenings is:
7.00 doors open for warm up
7.30 class until 8.30 or 9.00
followed by practice until 10.30
Occasionally we have Monday practicas where dancers are invited to do concentrated practice on their Tango and teachers are available to give advice The fee for these evenings is £5
BEGINNER AND IMPROVER CLASSES TUESDAYS
7.15 - 8.10 pm Beginner level classes at the Hunter Club
On Tuesdays we offer a course for beginners which leads to your being able to dance basic moves to Tango music. We have redesigned our course so that you can join it at any time without feeling you have missed too much from the previous weeks. However we do encourage you to make sure you can attend most of the classes as falling behind is the prime reason why people give up Tango. We offer eight lessons for the course and, if you want, you can do all eight classes for a total fee of £64. otherwise the evening fee is £9 per class. If you feel you are ready to start a course, contact us and we can sign you up.
The class is followed by 20 minutes of dancing practice and questions until 8.30
8.30 to 9.30 pm Improver level classes at the Hunter Club
On Tuesdays after the beginner class we offer single topic lessons for those who have achieved beginner level in the dance. This means that you have learnt all the basic elements of posture, good embrace, good walking, connection with your partner and can manage basic moves such as ochos and giros and can demonstrate them well. Improver classes willl take you further into techniques such as the crossing side step and small patterns that occur frequentlyin the dance. We'll also look at the musicality of Tango so that you can build confidence in how you match your dance to the music, and both as leader and follower. When you join the improver class these lessons are £9 per evening, but, if you want to attend both classes as an improver or a beginner the total cost will only be £9 for the evening
This class is followed by 60 minutes of dancing practice and questions until 10.30 pm
9.30 to 10.30 Practice and dancing
