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.   TANGO CLASS - DANCE PUNCHCARD: Can't make the full series of class due to work/travel schedule interference?
