Learning tango online is very achievable. Many dancers do this every day by watching other dancers perform. They will watch better dancers on video and then try to emulate that themselves.
I have students who have studied online from the beginning then started to go out to milongas (social dance parties) within a few weeks of starting to study with me online.
I had the opportunity to watch this student, after just a month of learning online, at a milonga and saw that they were doing excellently.
Originally it was taught and learned, as it is still much to this day in Argentina, as a “do what I do” kind of learning and teaching style.
Argentine teachers didn’t explain the why’s and the how’s. They simply had students stand behind them and copy their movements.
Your advantage of learning tango online with me is that you will be able to replay the videos as often as you like.
You can go backwards and forward listening to every word I say and making sure you’re doing it right. In class you often hear it just once or twice, then you’re moving on to the next part.
You are in total control. All that being said, I always believe that accompanying your online training with the occasional private lesson from a highly qualified teacher will only advance your training faster. I am happy to be your tango teacher and look forward to helping you in your tango learning journey.
