Argentine Tango
Argentine Tango
Argentine Tango is a partnered social dance from Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is different from ballroom tango in its posture, movements and intention - in Argentine Tango there is no standard way of dancing - the emphasis is on improvisation and each dancer carries within themselves a particular way of dancing it.
To start learning Tango with us, please join our immersive 20-week beginner course "Tango 100" starting January & August. Throughout the semester, we will cover new structures, concepts and delve deeper into the technique and nuances of Tango, getting you ready for improvisation and social dancing.
