New JACK & JILL Category
What’s this category all about? It hasn’t been done before so let us explain. Unlike other categories where competitors must register with a partner, J&J participants will register individually and dance with random partners. Each round will be 3 songs and everyone rotates to a different partner each time. It’s a lot of fun to mix around and perfect for those without a dedicated partner.
Local & Visiting Instructors
Looking to prepare for competition or just wanting to train with supremely elegant instructors? Check out our list of local instructors (from CA, AZ, NV). Also check out the incredible Leandro Oliver & Laila Rezk (from Buenos Aires) teaching all over Los Angeles for the month of January. They’re teaching techniques for all levels (beginner to advanced), all music (tango/vals/milonga), and all competitors (tango/stage/J&J). Leandro and Laila are also holding guided practicas where they give you different themes to work on as they go around adjusting each couple. We encourage to take advantage of this training season while many dancers are working hard!
