Learning to Dance Argentine Tango at Reading Tango Club
We aim to provide the best possible experience of learning authentic Argentine Tango and to help all our students enjoy the art and culture that surrounds this beautiful dance. We only use professionally trained Argentinian Tango teachers who have studied the dance from its roots and whose teaching focuses on technique, dance structure and musically. We use teachers from London Tango Academy & Oxford Tango Academy, alone with visiting guest teachers who bring their own special expertise. All our teachers work to a structured programme to ensure consistency of learning.They all share our enthusiasm and passion for tango.
Our Wednesday class teachers usually teach in blocks of 4 - 6 weeks. We also run workshops with visiting expert teachers to give you the opportunity to work with dancers and teachers at the top of their field. And each autumn we organise Reading Tango Festival, a fabulous weekend of workshops, milongas and world class performances. We hope you'll enjoy dancing with us!

Independent Teachers
Elizabeth Knock & Luis Rodriguez (Tango y Nada Mas)
Elizabeth & Luis started Tango y Nada Mas to bring their experience of more than 30 years of dancing and teaching Argentine Tango to the UK through classes and performances which focus on improvised ‘Tango Salon’- the Tango that has always been danced in the salons of Buenos Aires.
Their teaching has at its core that Tango originally grew as a social, improvised dance, a dance for everyone with Music as the uniting factor. Their focus is the basic technique through which an individual’s Tango can flourish.
