Ascension (18-35 Group) -- It Takes Two: Tango Lesson and Play Party!

Special Feature for July  -- Tango! 
The popular and sexy class taught by Ruin is coming to Ascension! Beginners welcome; if you have already been taking Tango lessons, please come and strut your stuff!

Dance is a great social activity and community-builder; but Argentine tango specifically has more in common with BDSM than most would expect. It demands communication, respect, and trust. It requires someone capable of leading, and someone willing to be led. It can be anything you want it to be, and it is highly improvisational.  If you are one of those people who feel like you have no sense of rhythm or timing, this may be the perfect dance for you - because there is no set rhythm or timing in Argentine tango. You decide when and how you want to move to the music.

This class will start with the basic foundational pattern of Argentine tango, then move into variations from there. Lead and follow techniques, and concepts of improvisation will be discussed. No experience or partner needed, however, hard-soled shoes recommended.

Because this class is held during Ascension's social, non-members are welcome. So bring a friend!  Class starts at 7:30pm and costs $10 (payable to the instructor).

What is TNG?
The short answer is: the Under-35 crowd.
TNG (The Next Generation) is a nation-wide trend in the Alt-community. This group is meant to foster peer kinship, safety, education, and outreach to bring interested folks into the scene. Our intent is not to cause discomfort or hard feelings amongst the older generation, but rather to create a place where young BDSMers can come and grow amongst their peers, while establishing strong roots within the larger kinky community.
