DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

Boston Tango Festival is offering intensive courses for every level! This year participants have the opportunity to participate in a progression of course work designed to help you progress quickly with a set and focused group of people at your same level. Enjoy the fun of a big festival while still getting a personal and focused class experience.

Choose from the following options:

BEGINNERS INTENSIVE COURSE
Instructors: Jairelbhi + George Furlong, Mariela Barufaldi + Jeremias Massera
Duration: 8hrs
Class limit: 20 couples only
Registration Requirements: Basic understanding of the simpler concepts and steps within tango; connection is possible but quite difficult to achieve

INTERMEDIATE INTENSIVE COURSE
Instructors: Jairelbhi + George Furlong, Mariela Barufaldi + Jeremias Massera
Duration: 8hrs
Class limit: 20 couples only
Registration Requirements: Reasonable level of technical understanding of tango and a good repertoire of steps; connection is attained more readily, but still quite difficult to achieve consistently.

ADVANCED INTENSIVE COURSE---PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Instructors: Fernanda Ghi + Guillermo Merlo
Duration: 10hrs
Class limit: 20 couples only
Registration Requirements: Excellent understanding of the technical aspects of tango and technique. At this level connection is a major factor. We will progress together as a group through advanced techniques such as compression + expansion and how it relates to ganchos, sacadas and giros. We will also examine musical interpretation of different orchestras and how it couples with new and old forms of tango vocabulary.
