The style

Not to be confused with the more formal tango danced in Ballroom, this style represents the more traditional forms right from Buenos Aires. Based heavily on improvisation and musicality, Argentine Tango has a characteristic, intimate look and feel, with lots of body contact in the embrace and a strong focus on leading and following.

This is suitable for people who have no prior experience with dancing, and is a gentle introduction to the style and some basic movements.

For improvers

This is suitable for people who are already familiar with some of the basic elements of Argentine tango (e.g., the basic step, ochos, simple turns), and is ideal for the participants of last term’s beginners classes.
