Over the course of two Tuesday sessions, we'll cover topics like:
- Where to start and how to improve
- Where to get music (I'll give you a big head start!)
- Tango orchestras and styles
- Using sound equipment
- Building tandas and playlists

Be prepared for 3 hours of homework a week (6 hours total).
