What Will You Learn?
Tango is an improvised social dance. Rather than memorizing long sequences, you’ll develop the skills to move, communicate, and create a dance with another person.
- How to create a comfortable, responsive tango embrace
- How to walk and move together with a partner
- The foundations of leading and following
- How to listen and respond to tango music
- An introduction to tango’s history, culture, and social etiquette
Everyone learns both roles from the beginning, helping you become a more versatile and attentive dancer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a partner?
No. You’re welcome to register on your own. We rotate partners during classes so everyone has opportunities to learn and practice.
Do I need dance experience?
Not at all. Both beginner options are designed for people starting from the very beginning.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move. Bring clean indoor shoes that let you turn comfortably. Specialized tango shoes are not necessary for your first classes.
What’s the difference between Tuesday and Friday?
Tuesday is a progressive eight-week course for developing your skills over time. Friday is a shorter, flexible lunchtime class that you can attend without committing to a full course.
What is a práctica?
A práctica is a relaxed social practice session where dancers can explore what they’re learning, ask questions, and dance with others. It’s an important part of learning Argentine Tango.
