About Tom Stermitz: Argentine Tango Classes and Festivals
The Romance of Argentine Tango
A t its best Argentine Tango is a trance, danced so closely that you feel your partner's heart beat and share the rhythm of their breathing. Tango looks complex, but it's easier to get if you learn the dance as a combination of short, simple patterns.
Structured Learning
C lasses are designed to have you up and dancing social-style Argentine Tango as quickly as possible. Tom is very effective in making tango easier to master by learning to mix and match short sequences of steps.
For the men: feeling confident, hearing the music, navigating the dance floor, and achieving mastery with the intricate steps of tango. For the ladies: technique and training for graceful movements and easy following.
A progressive curriculum starts with fundamentals, emphasizing improvisation, rhythm, music, heart & soul, and always the connection between the leader and follower.
