Private lessons for couples had started. This very first week went very well and we want to thank you for respecting the rules. This helps us keep everyone safe including ourselves and Aurelia. Spirits are high! If you are a couple, used to take private lessons and feel that you are ready to schedule your lessons - feel free to contact us. Do not feel obliged - wait when the time feels right FOR YOU! We can only take preventive measures - so you have to feel confident yourself. We are not here to force you or convince you.
GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS
We decided to postpone in person group lessons until October. We will wait until schools reopen and see the consequences. If everything goes right - we will schedule the group classes starting October. Meanwhile we are working on creating small - similar level groups and will contact each one of you (Students current as of March 2020) to propose you the on-line group trial class based on your level. Once the ‘live’ groups are scheduled you will be in the same company - similar level dancers. Same of you had already contacted us - if you haven’t yet - please do email and tell us what are your plans, wishes and expectations.
Private Lessons for individual dancers start September 1st
PLEASE EMAIL TO SCHEDULE
Rules are a little bit more strict for Individual Dancers!
The lessons are scheduled 30 minutes apart to allow the time for studio disinfection and Maestro’s shower plus change of clothes.
If you had never took any lessons from us - at this time WE ARE NOT ABLE to accept new students. We want to keep our existing students safe and thus are unable to accept anyone new for in person lessons. Zoom Virtual lessons are available.
Only one lesson at a time. Meaning - if you are a couple, but usually you were taking lessons with Anita while your Follower was taking lesson with Hernan - or the other way around - at this time this is NOT possible.
Masks are required the moment you enter Ultimate Tango space and during duration of the whole lesson. If you forget your masks we will have masks available for $25/each.
If you coming straight from work, any meeting, shopping etc, please do change your clothes before coming to Tango in Close Embrace.
Your temperature will be taken upon entry with contactless thermometer.
Please remain in your car until we call you that the space (and we) are ready to receive you.
Please do not come late, we will have to excuse you out once your scheduled time is over, so we have time to follow the procedures…
Please do not come early… Same as above…
Only water allowed. No other food or drinks permitted.
Try to limit the amount of stuff you are bringing. Unfortunately we will have to dispose of everything that you forget.

VIRTUAL Beginner COURSE
*** EXCELLENT INTRO FOR ALL NEW COMERS
***EXCELLENT REVIEW FOR YOU!
***BUY TO KEEP IT FOREVER OR RENT FOR 3 MONTHS
This course is built exactly as our real life Beginner Course. It consists of 8 lessons in which phase by phase we show you all you need to know and so, you can practice everything at your own pace. You can also stop and rewind to hear better or to understand better. There is also 2 of us demonstrating the sequences whereas in real life class - only one of us is teaching.
This course is an excellent introduction to Argentine Tango. Clear, well-structured, progressive. It can serve as a compliment to the real life course as it gives you all the information and all the exercises in order.
