Dance classes: Tango (探戈)
in May and June Tango is a social dance originating in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and throughout the centuries it has evolved into many different styles. The key features of this King of Dance are sharp/staccato action of feet movement, flexed knees, no swing or sway, no gliding, and no rise or fall. Successfully conveying the sense of sophistication and passion is the goal to achieve while dancers engage themselves in this dance. 探戈起源於十九世紀的阿根廷, 原為下層階級的交誼舞, 經過演變 改進, 現已成為全世界廣受歡迎的摩登舞種. 探戈強調剛健俐落的腳步, 雙膝保持微屈, 以及迅速擰身轉頭的動作. 配以節奏強烈的探戈音樂, 此舞藉著快與慢, 動與靜 之間的交錯, 呈現出一種特殊的神秘感及豪邁的熱情 Class starts at 8pm on the first four Tuesdays of each month.
