For
us, dancing is primarily about
having fun! Our goal is to the make
partner dancing accessible and
exciting to everyone. The
dances that we teach, like the
Lindy Hop and Argentine Tango,
were born in the streets out of
improvisation and
experimentation. We strive to
take these dances back to their
"street" origins, simplify them,
and have fun with what we
discover.
We believe
that partner dancing can be done
anywhere, to any music and
without limits. We feel that the
heart of partner dancing lies in
the connection with your partner
and the music, and the
capability to create something
together. Our teaching
concentrates
on strong partner connection,
musicality, and the ability to
improvise.
We rarely
focus on "style", "moves" or
"patterns", instead we strive to
guide our students to become
better social dancers. We
achieve that by constantly
challenging them with new
options, situations, music, and
connection exercises. We also
encourage them to find their own
voice and expression in the dance.

joy of dancing to classes by

own language within the dance.
Through fun (and sometimes
goofy) exercises, the students

with some of the greatest
instructors of Lindy Hop and
Tango.
Apart from Lindy Hop and Tango, Tal also
teaches other popular dances
like Blues, Charleston,
