Mastering Social Tango Turns (Int./ Adv. Level)

This 8‑week series focuses on turning with clarity, control, and ease in real social dance conditions. We’ll refine technique, axis, and rotation to create turns that feel effortless for both leader and follower, remain musical, and navigate comfortably on a crowded floor. Beyond figures, the class emphasizes transferable principles on how to generate flow, manage space, and adapt your turning vocabulary to different partners and orchestras. The goal is to make your dancing feel confident, elegant, and unmistakably social.

Boleos (or voleos) are dynamic, expressive movements in tango where the free leg whips around the supporting leg in a fluid, swiveling motion. They’re not only beautiful and satisfying to execute, they’re also a stylish way to transition and change direction in your dance. In this 8-week series, we’ll explore a wide range of boleo topics, including: front & rear boleos, high & low boleos, linear boelos, leader's boleos, boelo figures... and much more.
Join us to discover the many exciting possibilities and sequences that boleos bring to your tango!
