E-Sensual Dance, located at 71A Croton Avenue in Ossining, is offering a Valentine’s Day Tango Workshop for men and women of all dance abilities— no partner necessary—led by world-renowned dancer and former US and Canadian ballroom champion Marianne Hettinger. The workshop will be held February 12, from 2 to 4 p.m., and will include signature tango moves and choreographed routines.

Hettinger coaches and choreographs for Broadway and film and is dance coach to such celebrities as Matt Damon and Antonio Banderas, with whom she performed a salsa on the David Letterman Show. As a dancer she has performed with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, as well as with the Indianapolis, Baltimore and Toronto symphonies. She is also a filmmaker and actress.

E-Sensual Dance teaches pole and chair dance-fitness classes for women of all ages, catering to the beginner. Classes are 90 minutes long, small in size and feature core-strengthening exercises, pole work and choreographed dance routines.

“Pole dancing is widely recognized as a fitness workout that strengthens the core and builds upper-body strength. It can also be quite addictive, which means it is a workout you will love and stay committed to. We know it can be intimidating walking into a class full of experts, so we have created a positive dance experience with the absolute beginner in mind,” says owner Rosemarie Mitchell.

Tickets cost $65 per person and are available for purchase online at E-SensualDance.com. Call 646.228.4002 for reservations and info.
