Some notes about pritate classes with Igor As you see we put all our effort to give you all the tango secrets we know. But often it is not enough. Everyone is special and to address individual needs at least one private class in several month is very helpful. Igor can help you with this - at his new dancing studio in Hayward, or at the place of your choice. Price is $50/hour/ per couple in Hayward, $60 in any other place. Plus - for men - count your lessons - every 8 weeks of group lessons entitles you for 1 free private class at Hayward. Ladies - not everyone of you used the New Year gift - 1 free private class - hurry up: a new year is coming and this gift is not transferable. Igor has invited Robert Hauk, a milonguero to conduct for us
a series of workshops on Robert Hauk is one of the most prominent and highly regarded Tango teachers, dancers, and DJs in North America. For many years he teaches and promotes Milonguero style of Tango which is most close to the way Tango is danced in Buenos Aires nowadays and in the past. For the first time Robert is invited to San Francisco Bay Area to teach us a series of 6 workshops covering most important topics of the Milonguero style. We highly recommend everyone to take all the workshops! It is only $130 Happy dancing ! |
| Big announcement : Count your lessons! Igor is going to give a free private lesson to any man who have taken 8 weeks of group classes. It can be repeated. Take advantage of this incredible offer !!! No one else in the whole world is doing it. And it is not going to last long. |

The goal of the Club as we can see it now:
Create a friendly environment where people can have good time relaxing, listening to music, meeting friends, getting some easy physical and emotional exercise, try on beautiful dress, relieve stress and enjoy everything else Argentinean Tango gives.
For those who are getting more into dance - establishing the strong basis of social tango dancing and promote the real way this 100-years old dance is done - Buenos Aires Milonga Parties.
As teachers Igor Polk and Teressa pursue "the unconscious competence that will give students effortless mastery."
