Olympia Welcomes Jeremias Fors in April of 2026!

When Jeremias and I began to speak about this project we both agreed, adaptability is one of the top skills that makes a great social dancer. It’s not about mastering every style, that would be crazy! But rather, having an ability to assess and adapt in real time as a team to ensure everyone on the social floor is having a safe, enjoyable time. Improvisation is the heart of social dance. When we feel confident in our ability to communicate, a whole new, creative world opens up to us. There are tools!

Join us in Olympia this April 2026 as we explore adaptability and versatility from many of the key aspects of social tango. You can explore our toolkit at the link below coming early 2026.
