Franganillo's free tango class at NYOC

This coming Monday, the New York Open Center will offer a free Introduction to Argentine Tango, taught by Mariela Franganillo of the Broadway production of Forever Tango:

A gifted teacher who has given workshops across the U.S., Canada and Japan, Mariela Franganillo is known for being the first to begin a tango practica (an extensive tango instructional program) in NYC. She brings a fresh enthusiasm for tango that is melded with polished skills, years of experience and a legacy that stretches back to the golden era of tango.

In a safe, noncompetitive atmosphere, we will be taught how to properly connect to our partners, to the music and others around us. We will learn to lead, follow and walk. By the end of the class, we will be able to dance the powerful and sensual Argentine Tango.

Note

For beginners and experienced dancers. No dance experience is required. Leading and following open to both sexes. Bring comfortable clothes and shoes in which you can easily slide and turn.
