About Tango Bootcamp
IslaTango Bootcamp is an immersion into the world of traditional Argentine Tango as it is and has been danced in the salons of Buenos Aires since the 1930's. This style of tango is growing in popularity every year in practically every major city in the world.
Bootcamp features instruction nearly every night or day for a period of two or three weeks. This incorporates tango into your mind and body by logic and repetition. You will practice with different partners as we rotate during the classes. This reinforcement based learning is the most time effective (and fun!) method of acquiring the skills of moving to music and partner. This is much more effective than taking a class once a week and then forgetting nearly all of it when you return to class the following week.
Week night sessions are two hours or more and weekend days are four hours. If you break down the cost of bootcamp it come out to less than $5 per hour. An incredible bargain for a great price.
We will be joined in the final week of bootcamp by the exquisite Noriko Tanada of Tokyo.
All classes at the Al Franz Studio, 419 South Street, Ste. 140
Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
