The Complete Beginner Bootcamp is a series of 3 consecutive workshops designed for Princeton students who feel inspired to try tango for the first time during the Festival. If you are interested, please register online using the special registration form that will be provided on our Registration page. You do not need to pick up a pass at the Friday registration desk, but we do ask that you bring your student ID to the workshops. The 3 workshops are consecutive, so you need to attend all of them in succession, but upon completion you are ready to join the Intermediate-level workshops taught by our regular instructors every Monday on campus. We also invite you to attend our evening dance socials (milongas) to get a taste of what tango is like and to enjoy some live tango music, performances from our instructors (around midnight), free food (including freshly-baked muffins), dancing, and the fun and cozy atmosphere. The Bootcamp, the practicas, and the milongas are all free of charge for Princeton students. No partner or special shoes/clothing needed.
The Complete Beginner Bootcamp will be taught by Robin Thomas and Kat Gorsuch from New York City in the Mathey College Common Room. The schedule:
FRI: 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
SAT: 4:00 - 7:00 PM
SUN: 2:30 - 4:30 PM
