Mini Specials
Mini-Specials are one of the very best ways to get lots of bang for your buck with a visiting tango hotshot.
The idea is to put together your own group of 3 (or 4) leaders and 3 (or 4) followers — folks at about your own tango level, with whom you like to learn.
Choose any topic you’d all like to work on (the cross? connection? colgadas? musicality?) and get Kara’s help with it for 2 hours at $60/person (+$30 floor fee split among the group). Get lots of hands on, individualized attention and you will have a group of mates with whom to review and practice when she’s long-gone.
Contact Luisa for more information and to arrange a mini special either with Kara.
