Home >> Online Tango Video Dance Instruction >> Intermediate Tango Classes These intermediate level Argentine Tango lessons provide foundational concepts and techniques in order to progress to the more advanced ideas of Tango. We will also look at simple figures using the class topic and how to work it into your improvised social dancing.

• Milonga
  
• Embellishments (Adornos) for Women and Men: Part I
  Embellishments (Adornos) are small foot, leg or body movements that dancers work into their dance that are not functional, but rather embellish their steps. Since women do not dictate the steps, rhythm or direction of the dance, they use embellishments to express their personality within the dance. Men can also perform embellishments to add flavor to their movements.
• The Rhythm of Vals I
  Vals is one of the rhythms that we dance to at Milongas (Tango Dance Parties). This class will focus on understanding the rhythm of Vals, how to incorporate your existing steps into Vals and new steps that fit nicely into Vals.
• Exploring the Cruzada in Tango, Vals, and Milonga
  
• Sacadas
  Here is a list of our classes which feature sacadas. Sacadas are displacements. They happen when one dance partner steps into the space just vacated by their dance partner. In tango, we use back, side, and forward sacadas.
• Barridas, Pasadas y Paradas
  A Barrida (a sweep, a drag) is the dragging of a partner’s free leg during a Caminata (walk) or Giro (turn). During this series, we will examine the proper technique for leading and following both external and internal Barridas in both open and close embrace.
