Master the Foundations: Caminata & Ochos
This trimester, we are stripping it back to the soul of the dance. Our intensive curriculum focuses on the elegance of the Caminata (the walk) and the fluid geometry of Ochos (figure-eights).

The Walk: Explore parallel and cross systems, grounding, and moving as a single unit across different styles, from Milonguero to Tango Nuevo.

The Ochos: Master dissociation, pivots, and swivels to create effortless rotations in every embrace—open, closed, and V-shape.

About Your Instructors
Led by us, Katerine & Lauren, known as Las Sacadas. Our teaching is focused on body mechanics, Open Role, and the "raw, electric energy" that comes from dancing from the heart. In Tango, a sacada is a displacement. For us, it’s a lifestyle. We founded this Academy to help you sacarte (take yourself) out of the box. Whether you are a social dancer looking to master both roles or an aspiring teacher ready to lead the community, we provide the structure, the energy, and the stage to make it happen. Sign up and join us at Crown City Dance, so we can explore Argentine tango together.
