Argentine Tango Practica - Argentine Tango Practica - Fall 2026 - Sergio RuizCordova
Join us to dance the most beautiful, elegant, and sensual dance in the world, the Argentine Tango. Tango is drama, passion and romance, a dance of connection with the music and dialogue between partners. The essential reason tango makes us feel beautiful is the feeling we have when connecting with the music and our dance partners. Although Tango at its core can be distilled into an algorithm of movement; true Argentine Tango is not a series of memorized steps, nor a dance that merely promotes mechanical reactions; rather it is a dance of improvisation where both partners listen to the music and, more importantly, listen to each other. Whether or not you have rhythm, or if you feel you have two left feet. The power of this dance, the rawness of the movements and connection with another person, is worth getting out of your comfort zone and doing it. Members of this group have been dancing the Argentine Tango for ten years or more and are happy to share their tango skills. FREE to the public.

If you finish your basket in the first class, you don’t have to come back for the second one if you don’t want to, but you are certainly welcome to come back to the second class and leave another! These are wonderful little baskets for gifts as well as home decor and make wonderful Christmas decorations. All materials and tools are supplied. Two summer sessions are offered. The first being June 26 and July 10 (with a break in between for the Fourth of July) and August 21 and 28. Each session has a morning or evening time. So there are lots of choices!Weave a Bread Basket for the Holidays (Nov. 4 & 18):Show off your hand woven bread basket at your holiday table this year!

Argentine Tango Practica - Argentine Tango Practica - Fall 2026 - Sergio RuizCordova
Join us to dance the most beautiful, elegant, and sensual dance in the world, the Argentine Tango. Tango is drama, passion and romance, a dance of connection with the music and dialogue between partners. The essential reason tango makes us feel beautiful is the feeling we have when connecting with the music and our dance partners. Although Tango at its core can be distilled into an algorithm of movement; true Argentine Tango is not a series of memorized steps, nor a dance that merely promotes mechanical reactions; rather it is a dance of improvisation where both partners listen to the music and, more importantly, listen to each other. Whether or not you have rhythm, or if you feel you have two left feet. The power of this dance, the rawness of the movements and connection with another person, is worth getting out of your comfort zone and doing it. Members of this group have been dancing the Argentine Tango for ten years or more and are happy to share their tango skills. FREE to the public.

An evening class as well as a morning class session is offered on the same dates. The basket can be finished in one day, but I scheduled two classes as I don’t want anyone to ever feel rushed. So, if you finish the basket in one class, you don’t have to come back for the second class but you’re welcome to come back, purchase another wooden base (maybe in a different shape?) and weave another basket! There is no materials fee as all materials are included in the class price.Birds Nest Basket (Aug. 21 & 28): This fun class is for beginners as well as experienced basket weavers. As in all of Jackie’s classes, we will be building basket weaving skills as we weave. The basket can be finished in one class, but I offer two classes per each session since I don’t want anyone to feel rushed. If you finish your basket in the first class, you don’t have to come back for the second one if you don’t want to, but you are certainly welcome to come back to the second class and leave another! These are wonderful little baskets for gifts as well as home decor and make wonderful Christmas decorations. All materials and tools are supplied. Two summer sessions are offered. The first being June 26 and July 10 (with a break in between for the Fourth of July) and August 21 and 28. Each session has a morning or evening time. So there are lots of choices!Weave a Bread Basket for the Holidays (Nov. 4 & 18):Show off your hand woven bread basket at your holiday table this year! Beginner friendly, this oval basket has a wooden base. You can finish in one night, but two classes are offered since no one should ever feel rushed. If you finish during the first class you are welcome to come back the following week, purchase another base (maybe a larger size?) and weave another basket! Tools are supplied by Jackie and materials are included in the class fee.

Argentine Tango Practica - Argentine Tango Practica - Fall 2026 - Sergio RuizCordova
Join us to dance the most beautiful, elegant, and sensual dance in the world, the Argentine Tango. Tango is drama, passion and romance, a dance of connection with the music and dialogue between partners. The essential reason tango makes us feel beautiful is the feeling we have when connecting with the music and our dance partners. Although Tango at its core can be distilled into an algorithm of movement; true Argentine Tango is not a series of memorized steps, nor a dance that merely promotes mechanical reactions; rather it is a dance of improvisation where both partners listen to the music and, more importantly, listen to each other. Whether or not you have rhythm, or if you feel you have two left feet. The power of this dance, the rawness of the movements and connection with another person, is worth getting out of your comfort zone and doing it. Members of this group have been dancing the Argentine Tango for ten years or more and are happy to share their tango skills. FREE to the public.
