​Beginner: Argentine Tango

Please note, there are 3 types of tango: Milonga, Argentine Tango, and Vals.  This month we mainly focused on Milonga, although I introduced something that was technically Argentine Tango.
Milonga:

• Baldosa Box (6 steps)
• Walking into, and out of Baldosa Box
• Side together (repeat 5 and 6 as many times as you would like)
• Traspie (rock steps, changes the rhythm to quick-quick-slow, can be done on any of the first 5 steps of the Baldosa Box)

Argentine Tango:

• Forward ochos 
• Leader's rock to forward ochos 
• Bonus: Leader's parada (means "stop", where the leader "stops the ochos with his foot), to follower's pasada (means "go", where the follower initiates the next move by stepping over the leader's foot)

Intermediate: Samba

• Routine: forward and back, side crosses, promenade, box step
• counterpromenade
• windmill (from counterpromenade)
• international combination (promenade, bota fogo, voltas, spot turn voltas)
