Description

Learn to dance Argentine Tango with a world-traveling teacher, 2016 US Champion, and world champion semifinalist Adam Cornett. Adam has taught thousands of people to dance. He has taught for the students of MIT, Harvard, Yale, Brown, Northwestern and The Beijing National Dance Academy (Julliard of China).   In this course you will learn how to connect with a partner so you two-step together and not separate. You will learn the basic and most common movements that exist in tango which will get you to dance about 70% of everything we do when we go out dancing.  If just a few short weeks you'll be ready to go out to your local tango dance and enjoy the night, make new friends, and have a whole new hobby in your life.
