What’s so special about Argentine Tango?
This little clip says a lot about why we love tango. Hope you find something to love too.
We run weekly progressive foundation and intermediate classes with local teachers for tango dancers.
Classes usually run on Thursday evenings in half termly blocks. We find that structured weekly classes offer the offer best support for steady progress with your tango learning.

Tango Etiquette and Terminology
If you’re relatively new to tango, make sure you know about the etiquette when going to a Milonga. And what is actually a Milonga? How does a leader ask for a dance? What does tanda or cortina mean? What about smalltalk on the dance floor? Find a little catalogue of Milonga rules and tango terms here.
