About Dominic Bridge:

Since beginning his Argentine Tango journey in 2005 in the Pacific Northwest, Dominic Bridge has become one of North America’s most respected Tango artists, sharing his passion for the dance across 30+ countries and four continents. Now based in Denver, Colorado, as Director of the Intimo Tango School, Dominic remains deeply committed to the art of Tango, teaching, performing, and collaborating both locally and internationally.


From South America to Europe and Asia, having lived in cities such as Buenos Aires, Paris, Berlin, Florence, Budapest, Moscow, and Pune, India, Dominic’s artistic residencies have shaped his global perspective on Tango. He has also contributed to the development of Tango communities in Armenia and India. Fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Italian, he connects with dancers and communities across linguistic and cultural boundaries.


Dancers from around the world seek his guidance for his holistic approach, which blends technical mastery with artistic creativity, while also emphasizing the therapeutic and healing aspects of the dance. Beyond teaching, he organizes events, builds Tango schools, and mentors both teachers and performers, fostering a new generation of dancers.


His instruction prioritizes the essence of Tango as a social dance and art of human connection, with a methodology focused on the mastery of embrace, connection, floorcraft, musicality, and improvisation. Through his work, Dominic empowers dancers to discover deeper connections to both Tango and their own artistic expression.

----------Class Descriptions----------


Friday, October 18

6:00 - 7:15 pm: Opening the Body (Technique for Both Roles)


In this class, we will repeal and replace old “beginner information” concerning the movement of the legs in the walk, pivots, ochos, and giros with more advanced technique to allow more freedom in the legs and body, facilitating boleos, ganchos, and other leg-play. All Levels - Beginners too!


Friday, October 18

7:30 - 8:45 pm: TANGO STRUCTURE 4.0 (Shortcuts)


Mastering tango comes from understanding its structure, not just memorizing individual figures. In this 4th edition of the Tango Structure Series, you'll uncover key shortcuts that enable faster and more seamless entry into advanced figures. These insights will prepare you for more complex movements in the next class. All Levels - Beginners too!


Saturday, October 19

1:00 - 2:15 pm: Mountain Meets Air (Grounding)

 This class focuses on the concept of grounding and density. At the most basic level, we use these techniques for balance and clarity of connection. Density is a living quality that organically shifts from partner to partner, song to song, moment by moment. Incorporating the artistic layer of density is the mark of a true tanguero. All Levels - Beginners too!


Saturday, October 19

2:30 - 3:45 pm: Ring of Power (Embrace)

 Discover how subtle adjustments to your frame can yield significant results in leading and following any dance partner. After mastering the Ring of Power, you'll learn a versatile cross-system milonguero step that seamlessly integrates with the techniques from Saturday’s classes. All Levels - Beginners too!


Saturday, October 19

4:00 - 5:15 pm: Boleo Silhouettes

 Don’t hold back when other dancers are envious of your beautiful boleos. In this class, you'll learn how to shape and lead the follower’s free leg, and how to execute boleos safely in milongas. Explore the origins of “en contra” and “a favor,” delve into classical Naveirian structure, and discover the history of various boleo silhouettes along with creative innovations. All Levels


Sunday, October 20

5:30 - 6:45 pm: Alternative Musicality

@ LocoTango pre-milonga class in Boulder


We will discuss how to capture the essence of a range of alternative music for maximal effect. Say goodbye to "milonga mode” and hello to true musicality, grace, and creativity. A specially-curated playlist will be forwarded to pre-registered participants for study. All Levels+


----------JEDI TRAINING----------


Sunday, October 20

12:30 - 3:00 pm: Jedi Training


The Jedi are guardians of peace and justice in the "Star Wars" universe, skilled in the use of the Force. They follow a strict code of discipline, wisdom, and compassion. The Force is an energy field that connects all living things, granting those who can harness it abilities like telekinesis, heightened senses, and control over mind and matter. Basically, Jedi are the most epic Tangueros in fact or fiction.


In this 2.5-hour workshop, we will elevate the intensive techniques to advanced movements and sequences. Master leading and interpreting intricate free-leg movements with a whisper. Uncover the secrets to a mesmerizing embrace and musicality that leaves an afterglow. Dominic will reveal the most captivating and advanced aspects of tango, including managing internal states for dynamic shifts in style, shapes, power, and elasticity. Prepare for an experience that will challenge even the most seasoned dancer to their limits.

Advanced Couples (Partner & Instructor approval required)
