Stage tango may be known for its dramatic styling and complex footwork, but the social version of tango that we dance is much more approachable. It is a fluid and expressive dance that is low impact, you don't need any extra joints, and it will help keep you fit and flexible!
If you have ever thought about trying this versatile and fun dance then our Beginners' Workshops are just what you need.
In one four-hour session we will introduce you to the fundamentals of the dance, teach you a few steps that you can join together into a routine, and get you dancing all the way through a piece of music.
We recently asked everyone who comes to our regular classes to send us two or three words that they would use to describe tango and our events, and the results speak for themselves.
You will be introduced to the fundamentals of tango and learn some basic steps to get you going.
Building on the fundamentals there are a few steps that form the core of all tango movement and dance. These will be introduced one at a time to give you a working dance 'vocabulary', so that by the end of the session you will be able to dance all the way through a song or track.
After a quick refresher of what we have done so far, the last half an hour of the workshop will be for guided practice, with our crew there to help you make sense of what you have learned and start to develop your dancing.
During the workshop we will break for refreshments.
Spaces are limited on our beginners' workshops and there will be no tickets on the door, so pre-booking is essential. To book please contact Graham:
