  1. WHO CAN DANCE SOCIAL ARGENTINE TANGO?

    • The short answer: ANYONE!
    • The long answer: read below.

    You may have read it above: "If you can walk, you can dance Argentine Tango". Like many other people, you may also have dismissed the thought. Please reconsider.

    We have posted to the left handside of this page, this amazing testimonial:
    Amputees with prostethic legs can dance Argentine Tango.

    In other words, if they can dance, what is your excuse for not trying it?

    Argentine Tango is a walking dance before anything else and we will show it to you in our first class!

    Just join us to the class and you may even enjoy it!

  1. CHALLENGE YOURSELF! AND LEARN ARGENTINE TANGO!

    How can we claim that "if you can walk you can dance Argentine Tango" and still talk of challenges?

    In short because Argentine Tango is as simple or as complicated as you wish to make it.

    As a hint, let us just say that Tango walk is not quite your regular, street walk.

    Challenge 1: It is a dance
     If you think that dancing is a challenge in itself, then Argentine Tango is for you. Yes, as you can see below, Argentine Tango is a challenging dance. However, it also offers the option to keep it simple while still fun. Therefore it is accessible to everyone!

    Challenge 2: Tango Walk to the music
     Because Argentine Tango is a walking dance, if you walk to the music, you are dancing Argentine Tango. You may find out that it is not as simple as one thinks to just do that.

    Challenge 3: It is a partner dance!
     Argentine Tango is a partner dance. You can choose to find the connection with your partner and create a dialog without words while dancing.
    Obvioulsy to learn to communicate with your partner without words while improvising to the music is much more challenging than to just execute a pre-set series of steps with a partner who knows the sequence of them too.

    Challenge 4: Argentine Tango is an INTELLECTUAL dance
    If you are an engineer, a doctor or a lawyer, or if in general you like to use your brain, you will find out that Argentine Tango is not only a physical activity but a dance which recruits your INTELLECTUAL faculties as well.

    If this tickles you, then, with Argentine Tango, you will keep challenging yourself for years to come.

    Each step of the way is enjoyable and you decide how far you want to go on the path of the challenges of Argentine Tango.

    Just join us to the class to enter the fascinating world of Argentine Tango!

  1. WHAT IS SPECIAL about our ARGENTINE TANGO CLASSES?

    Our approach is practically oriented. We teach you Argentine Tango always bearing in mind what you will need to dance it socially in a milonga.

    • TECHNIQUE oriented and not only step driven

    • PERSONAL ATTENTION (Even in group classes)

    • High focus on MUSICALITY

    • Provide tools to IMPROVISE (particular focus for advanced students)

    • FUN Classes (See our testimonials)

    • Prepare you to go out and dance socially

    We teach you to become dancers and not only step performers.

  1. IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT TO DANCE ARGENTINE TANGO?

    The milongas of Buenos Aires are filled with people of all ages.

    Kids of 4 or 5 years old can learn Argentine Tango.

    We know personally adults in their nineties that are still dancing Argentine Tango.

    If you can walk, you most likely can dance social Argentine Tango. You may not be able to accomplish the most complexed figures or dance to the fastest rhythms, but well enough to have plenty of fun.

    In doubt, come to the introductory course and try the first class with us.

  1. DO I NEED A PARTNER in order to take ARGENTINE TANGO CLASSES?

    We do not require participants to bring a partner.

BACK TO TOP
  1. DO I NEED TO HAVE PREVIOUS DANCE EXPERIENCE?

    The introductory course is designed for complete beginners. So you do not need to have any previous dance experience in order to start learning Argentine Tango.

    If you have some Argentine Tango experience, you are welcome to attend our more-advanced classes or our milongas and Vals classes.

    Whatever your level (no previous experience to experienced Argentine Tango dancers) you may also take private lessons and receive tailored instruction.

BACK TO TOP
  1. DO I NEED TO PRE-REGISTER to take ARGENTINE TANGO GROUP CLASSES?

    It is highly recommended to pre-register. It will benefit all participants as we have more control on the class size and class level.

    Another benefit of pre-registration is that it allows us to respond to specific interest for a particular class and possibly to add it to the schedule.

    Do not hesitate to contact us with any request.

  1. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR THE ARGENTINE TANGO CLASSES?

    Argentine Tango is an elegant dance so we prefer our students not to wear jeans and sneakers.
    This aside, you may wear anything you feel confortable in.

    We recommend wearing smooth-leather sole shoes or dance shoes if you can, as it makes the gliding and pivoting on the dance floor much easier. Once a Tango afficionado, you may want to acquire proper Tango shoes but it is not a necessity.

BACK TO TOP
  1. SHOULD LADIES WEAR HIGH HEELS TO DANCE ARGENTINE TANGO?

    Most ladies, but not all, dance Argentine Tango in milongas with high heels.

    However ladies may choose to wear practice shoes (with or without high heels) for the class.

    The benefit of wearing high heels in the class is that you practice in the shoes you will wear while dancing socially. The drawback is that it may interfere with the apprenticeship of Tango posture, following skills, pivots and other steps, which are been taught in the classes.

    Ultimately, it is up to you and it is strictly a matter of preference.

BACK TO TOP
  1. IS THERE A DRESS CODE WHEN DANCING ARGENTINE TANGO?

    Argentine Tango is an elegant dance.
    Gentlemen often wear suits at the milongas and ladies dress up.
    In the classes, the atmostphere is more relaxed so that people do not look neglected but do not generally dress up either.
