Please note that we’d like to encourage our intermediate dancers to attend the beginners’ class, as well. If you’re taking the intermediate class, you can also sign up for the beginner’s class at these reduced prices:

Pay before or after class.
Sign up for the Stanford Tango Club e-mail list if you're not already on it.

Shoes:

  • Wear shoes that will stay on your feet and have flexible, non-sticky soles that allow you to pivot. Leather or suede soles are best.
  • Men, please wear shoes that are NOT oversized. A misplaced foot can hurt the followers foot/leg.
  • If you feel your partners shoes are inappropriate, politely declined to dance with them.
  • For the women, especially beginners, the best shoe has a low to medium heel and encases the foot, so your foot won't fall out while dancing. Sling-backs, clogs, and strapless slip-ons WILL fall off.
  • PLEASE do NOT use powder for your shoes. The custodians may fine us if you do.

What level am I?

To feel comfortable in the intermediate class people should already know the following (having completed the beginner's class doesn't necessarily mean you're read to move on to the intermediate class):

  • Parallel and crossed systems
  • The cross of the follower
  • Back and forward ochos
  • The ocho cortado
  • Half turn to the left/right
