SUNDAY GROUP CLASSES ARE ON - VIRTUALLY!
I know. I know. It’s not what you expected. But… - we had a case of COVID in Hernan’s family in Argentina and so we know first hand that when it chooses you - it’ not so easy peasy as one might be assuming. Granted Hernan’s cousin almost crossed to the other side. Anyway - we had decided to resume Sunday group classes, but on-line!
We will start with 4 weeks course to give everyone chance to try. I know you might hate zoom, you might be apprehensive about the whole virtual learning experience - but we had tried it during private lessons and Virtual Tuesdays - and we assure you - it works! So please give it a try.
We had divided you into 3 groups. READ MORE here about logistics etc
NEW Beginner Course
Beginners are also on-line, but now with two options to study: 1) PRE-RECORDED COURSE - START AT ANY TIME or 2) ’LIFE’ ZOOM COURSE: WEDNESDAYS 6:30 - 7:30pm.

‘LIFE’ ZOOM BEGINNER COURSE - 8 classes
PRICE: $120 / couple
It's not face to face. It's not in the same room with you. But we are present to see you, help you and explain to you. No matter how many times. And - you don't have to wear a mask or keep social distance. When COVID-19 is tamed - we will resume in person group classes and maybe by then you are at the next level. For now - this is as close as it can get. So - why wait? Register now!
PRE-RECORED BEGINNER COURSE - 8 classes
PRICE: $144/rent or $270/buy
Pre-recorded Beginner course has it’s advantages: You can start NOW, stop and play at your own convenience and see the same episode as many times a you need. It also consist much more material than the real class can possibly squeeze in! WHY? Real people have questions and so the class unfolds based on the needs of actual students.
Private Lessons for individual dancers started September 1st.
STARTING OCTOBER we are accepting New Students with minimum 10 lessons commitment.
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.

The lessons are happening through video conference (we see you and you see us) and you will receive video of your lesson, so you can keep it for your review.
