Tango Fusion Dance Company who has been offering adult and kids partner dance classes since 2012, is offering their classes online via Facebook Live. Company co-director Diane Lachtrupp Martinez states - " At this time, we cannot offer our regular group classes, but people still need to move and dance, so live online was the solution." Her husband dance/partner offered, "We weren't sure how it would go but we offered our classes this past Monday and Tuesday's online with Facebook and had a great response from our local students as well as former students in NYC. "
Johnny and Diane will be offering classes next Monday the 23 and Tuesday the 24 starting at 6:30. Monday's night's classes will include beginner Waltz, intermediate Swing, beginner Cha Cha and Advanced Hustle. Tuesday's classes will include beginner Salsa, intermediate Salsa and Intermediate West Coast Swing. Each week's class reviews from the week before and then we add on. The free classes will also be offered on Monday, March 30 and Tuesday, March 31.
No partner or experience necessary. The classes are designed for people with an at home dance partner or to dance by yourself. We welcome people to type in questions or comments while the class is going on. "This is new to us, " comments Diane, " and we welcome your suggestions to make it a fun learning experience."
How to log-on go to our Facebook page "Tango Fusion" and you can either watch videos from last Monday and Tuesday and/or join our live classes on Monday and Tuesday. Although the classes are free for the next two weeks, they do eventually plan to have people register online to take their dancing further. However, Tango Fusion will continue indefinitely to offer one free class a week to introduce people to the wonderful world of dance.
Children's classes - We have had requests to offer some kid's classes as well so they are offering a kid/family class free for the next two Wednesdays - March 25 and April 1 at 11:15 a.m. Families and kids may log onto the Tango Fusion Facebook page and join us for a warm -up, dance moves and a routine.
Questions - Please feel free to contact 518-932-6447.
