Argentine Folklore

This course is open to dancers of any level. Dive in and discover the magical world of Argentine Folklore!

Argentina is unquestionably associated with Tango, but have you ever heard of Chacarera or Zamba?

This 4-week course will give you the chance to experience both of these beautiful dances. Throughout the course you will be introduced to the fundamental movements and rhythms of Chacarera and Zamba and, once you hear the music and find your feet, you won’t want to stop.

Come along to ignite your Winter evenings with energy in the upbeat Chacarera (6:15pm – 7:15pm), take a breath with a brief 15min break, then be ready to experience the beauty and flow of Zamba (7:30pm – 8:30pm).

No partner required. All that is needed is your smile and your will to dance.

Clothing - anything you feel comfortable moving in

Footwear - socks or shoes without a heel
