Private Study
for Dedicated Dancers
A More Exacting Study of Tango
For dancers who want to be seen closely, challenged precisely, and pushed beyond what group classes can offer.
The problem
Stop Practicing the Wrong Thing
You can practice for months and still reinforce the problem.
Private study helps us find it quickly and change it directly.
Less guessing. Faster progress.
Why private
Tango Has to Be Felt
Tango is touch.
- A lead can look right and feel wrong.
- An embrace can look relaxed while your partner is receiving pressure.
- A pivot can appear technically correct while your axis, tone, or timing makes it difficult to follow.
There is a level of tango that is almost impossible to diagnose from across the room.
Sometimes a teacher has to dance with you to know what is really happening.
That is where private study becomes powerful.
We can feel what your partner feels—and then change it.
Go Further Than We Can Go in Class
Group classes have a curriculum and a room full of dancers to serve.
Private study can follow the interesting thing.
A problem with a turn might take us into your standing foot.
A problem with the embrace might begin in your spine.
A musicality question might actually be a problem of balance or timing.
If you understand something quickly, we keep going.
If one tiny detail needs the whole lesson, we stay there.
The curriculum changes around the dancer.
The work
What We Can Work On
Not a fixed syllabus. The work depends on what will change your dancing most.
- Balance, axis, and body organization
- Walking, pivots, turns, and spirals
- Feet and articulation
- Embrace and quality of touch
- Lead, follow, tone, and pressure
- Musicality, phrasing, and interpretation
- Movement texture and dynamics
- Personal expression
- Social floorcraft and adaptability
- The specific habits limiting your dancing
Classes and Milonga Are Included
Private study does not replace social learning.
Your weekly Two Flame classes and Thursday Milonga are included, so the work can immediately move from the private studio into different bodies and a real social floor.
- Private study gives you depth.
- Classes give you repetition and adaptability.
- The milonga gives you reality.
Together, they create a much faster and more complete learning process.
