WEEKLY ARGENTINE TANGO CLASSES IN READING
Learning Tango at Reading Tango Club in partnership with London Tango Academy
Over the last 10+ years we've gained a reputation for the quality of our tango teaching. Our teachers all have a passion for tango that is infectious and all have extensive teaching experience as well as performing on stage around the world. The focus of classes is on authentic improvised tango that can be danced socially, anywhere in the world, not choreographed sequences or "show" tango. It's important to us that our teachers are also excellent dancers; they are our role models and our inspiration.
Because Argentine Tango is an improvised dance you have lots of scope to be creative once you've learned the basics.

Inside our classes
After class demonstrations
After every class the teachers give a demonstration of the elements taught during the lesson to show how movement and musicality come together. Have a look at our YouTube channel
|
Tango step by step
Our teachers take time to explain each movement and then go round the class to give individual feedback to students before adding more elements to the lesson.
|
Tango drills can help
Sometimes, our teachers will introduce a "drill" section to the class to help students learn the steps and work on muscle memory.
|
Body mechanics & dance
Teachers Adrien Baraki-Alaoui & Iro Davlanti Lo spend time to help students understand the finer detail of movement that adds fluency and elegance to movement..
|
Classes are fun too
We all work hard during classes but our teachers bring a sense of humour to their teaching and our lovely students have fun as they learn tango.
|
Time to practice
We have a practica (practice) session) at the end of classes so that students can dance together and practice what's been covered in class and also help each other gain confidence.
