This dance emphasizes connection, posture, and graceful motion, making it a cornerstone of ballroom dancing and a favorite for formal events and weddings. Tango (American Style) Bold, dramatic, and grounded, Tango is characterized by sharp movements, strong lines, and intentional pauses. Unlike other smooth dances, Tango stays low and powerful, creating a striking and expressive look. Foxtrot (American Style) Smooth, playful, and versatile, Foxtrot is known for its relaxed elegance and ability to adapt to a wide range of music. It’s a highly social dance that blends traveling movement with expressive styling. Levels Explained Level 1 – Fundamentals Designed for beginners or dancers wanting a strong foundation. You’ll learn basic steps, timing, posture, and partner connection in a progressive, easy-to-follow format. Level 2 – Technique & Progression For dancers who know the basics and want to refine technique, improve musicality, and learn more advanced figures with greater confidence and control.

Notes About Classes At Nexus
- We strongly recommend booking in advance to streamline the check in process. If you drop in, please note you will need to sign the liability waiver so plan to arrive earlier to do that. - All group classes at Nexus SLO are taught progressively each month so we recommend coming for the full series to get the whole experience. - No partner or prior experience is needed unless otherwise noted (such as for intermediate-level classes). We rotate partners often to help everyone learn, but you're welcome to stay with your own partner if preferred. - No special shoes or equipment required—just come ready to move and have fun! Cancellation Policy: Cancellations/rescheduling for pre-paid group lessons must happen at least 24 hrs in advance or you will be charged the full amount. There are no refunds for pre-paid group classes, but if you have an injury or illness that won’t allow you to participate, let us know and we will give you a credit for when you can return.
