Tango Beginners Intensive 21–22/11
4 hours over one weekend to learn the essentials of Argentine Tango and be ready for your first milonga. For complete beginners, no partner needed.
About the event
Have you always wanted to dance Argentine Tango? This weekend intensive is designed for people with no previous tango experience. In 4 hours (2 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday) you'll learn the basic movements, the connection with your partner and the codes of the dance floor, so that by Sunday evening you're ready to dance socially at a milonga.
No partner required: we rotate partners throughout the class (optional). You're also welcome to come with a partner and stay together. Comfortable clothes and shoes that can pivot on the floor are recommended.
