What is Argentine Tango?
Argentine Tango is a beautiful social dance born in Buenos Aires. At its heart, it’s not about fancy steps—it’s about connection. Two people share the music, moving together as one. Each dance is unique, improvised, and full of feeling.

Move to the next level!
Once you’ve taken your first steps, you can move on to our Improvers classes, where you’ll expand your vocabulary, refine your technique, and discover how to dance with more musicality and style.
Many students choose to take two classes one after the other - that's why we have a discount for taking the beginners class followed by the improvers class. Students usually use the beginners class as a refresher and warm up, and then challenge themselves with new material in the improvers class which takes place in the second hour.
