Understanding Sonny's Beginning & Intermediate Tango Class Levels

The beginning levels are scheduled on a rotation basis (i.e. once the current series level concludes, the next series will be the other half of the beginning level – rolls over from Level A to Level B and then repeats the cycle.).  Prerequisite for intermediate class: must be comfortable with introductory level tango in their lead or follow and understand basics as outlined in beginning levels below.

 

Beginning Level A & B

 

Level A – Incorporates in-depth study using eight-count step pattern including walking woman to the cross; walking out of line with your partner, ochos, body positioning and walking technique, emphasis musicality and several step variations to allow student to complete series with basic understanding of tango and ability to construct beginning level dance composition;

Level B -  Same class format as Level A, but uses six-count step pattern; there is so much material that must be learned that it has been divided into two series of classes. Sonny highly recommends that students take both A and B before moving on to Intermediate level.

 

Intermediate Tango:

Builds on the basics taught during beginning tango and introduces more complex step patterns, allowing the student to begin creating their tango with a growing repertoire (molinetes, boleos, gaunchos, sacadas, gyros, etc.). This series is designed to go beyond just learning steps. In-depth learning focusing on relationship between lead & follow, dynamics of proper body positioning, hesitations, syncopation and interpreting musicality.
