Private Lessons
We strongly suggest to take private classes on a regular basis to complement the group classes. During the private session the teacher(s) will be able to work on details (posture, elegance, technique etc) that is not possible to correct during the group classes. Also, as we don't offer regular classes for beginners, private classes can bring you to the level to participate to the first class of the intermediate series.
To Schedule classes please send an email to AnneSophie@le-Tango.com
