INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS
Intensives are NOT just regular "workshops." Intensives are a different way of learning that requires an open mind for a new approach to Tango. The goal is to advance you to another level through total immersion, unlike any experience you’ve had before. Intensives provide clear, fast, personalized training that will accelerate your progress to save 10 years of learning the OLD way, without losing the Essence of the Dance. These opportunities require a deep commitment to understanding the profound work of Tango.

Fernanda specializes in "Follower’s Technique" for followers, and "Clarity of Lead" for leaders.
Guillermo specializes in "Leader’s Technique" for leaders, and "Execution of Lead" for followers.
