SOME GUIDANCE FOR TANGO CLASSES

First, everyone, the world over, usually thinks progressing to a higher level of class makes them a better dancer – whereas it is usually better to master the basics first (walk before you try to run).
 Second, there’s no harm in also doing the level below “your” level – doing a second class doesn’t cost much more and will speed up your learning.
Finally, having said there’s no rules, here’s some “soft” guidelines (but you need to find your own realistic level).

Beginners – 7-8pm Perhaps 1-6 months of classes, although some will stay longer. It won’t be full of people in their first class. You are learning the basic eight, ochos, giros, etc.

Improvers – 8.15-9.15 Perhaps 6-18months of classes. You can do the basic eight, ochos, giro without even thinking about them, but more complex steps like ganchos and sacadas are harder.

 Intermediate – 9.30-10.30. 18 months+ of classes. Most steps are straight forward to you and you are looking for complex movements and concepts such as musicality.
