Before we take a month-long hiatus, Jae will teach a special class on milonga technique on Monday, March 3rd from 7:00-8:30 PM ($10). This is a great opportunity to become more comfortable and confident on the dance floor when you hear the milonga beat. There will be a FREE práctica following the class. We hope you join us for both events.

Classes resume on April 10th with the Advanced classes taking over slot on Thursdays at 6:30 PM. Beginner and Intermediate classes will take place on Mondays starting on April 14th at 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM, respectively. The weekly Thursday prácticas will continue throughout the month of March at the usual time (7:30 PM) so that all students can refine their tango technique until classes begin again.

Save the date – Nick and Diana May 30-June.1st

Posted on February 9, 2014 by Webmaster

Nick Jones and Diana Cruz are coming to visit Durham, NC again late May this year. If you haven’t seen them dancing, you should check out this video.

Nick & Diana share, unreservedly, their technique and structure so that each individual student can ultimately reach their own expression in the dance. They believe that the goal of a teacher is to give everything away to the student, while the goal of the performer is to hide their secrets so they can enamor and bedazzle the audience. Nick & Diana do both with fluid ease and grace.

To get to know more about them, visit http://www.naturaltango.com/

Facebook link : https://www.facebook.com/events/1402592049999202/

Registration will be opening soon.
