American Smooth – Silver Tango Syllabus | Michael Mead & Toni Redpath

Advance your American Smooth Tango with Michael Mead & Toni Redpath in Silver Tango Syllabus.

Designed for Silver-level dancers, this comprehensive instructional program develops more sophisticated Tango technique, choreography, and partnering. The lessons begin with essential concepts of posture, frame, and hold, then progress through expressive figures featuring Flicks, Oversways, Rondés, Curls, Shadow positions, Fans, Lunges, and advanced turning actions.

The material is organized into three groups of figures, each followed by a demonstration to show how the movements can be connected and performed in sequence. A bonus Double Ronde & Curl provides additional choreography for dancers looking to expand their Silver-level repertoire.
