Workshops with Eleonora Kalganova in Vancouver Oct. 25th to 27th, 2019
Casa TangoLab - Milonga Workshop
Sunday, March 3rd, 2019
Casa Tango Edmonton presents a series of workshops we call Casa TangoLab!
We invite you to join us for the 1st workshop of the series on MILONGA!
We use many of the same steps in milonga that we do in tango, but milonga is NOT tango. It has a different rhythm and cadence and there are many steps which fit especially well into the milonga rhythm.
- During this 2.5 hour workshop, we will:
- Introduce musicality and cadencia of milonga.
- Explore Milonga lisa (smooth) vs Milonga traspie and practice different rhythmical patterns.
- Work on reaction, speed and rhythmical changes.
- And last, but not least, practice fun and playful combinations.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to register with a partner?
Registering with a partner is great, but don't worry, if you don't have a partner we'll have extra leads and follows and we encourage partner rotations. We will also have on hand our experienced tango students to help out. Tango classes are a wonderful way to meet people and make friends.
What should I wear?
Wear clothing that allows you to move freely & shoes that allow you to slide & pivot on the floor. Wear comfortable shoes with thin, flexible and relatively smooth soles, such as dance shoes & shoes that are secured around the ankle. No rubber soles & no street shoes on the dance floor please.
Will there be lessons following the introductory bootcamp?
Yes! We will be continuing with a fall session at University of Alberta.
Does it help to have danced before?
Dancing Argentine Tango is like speaking a language. The first one is the hardest to learn. Everyone has their own learning curve. Knowing other dances can be helpful, but strong memorized movement patterns can get in the way of this improvised dance. Come and start your own tango journey with us.
Am I too old to learn Argentine Tango?
No one is too old to learn to dance. As long as you can walk alone you can learn to walk together in an embrace. Learning a new skill will keep you on your toes and has several benefits. It might take a bit longer but as long as you bring your curiosity and a positive attitude the tango will embrace
