Dance partners

It takes two to tango. The essence of Argentinean tango is improvisation and the subtle art of leading and following. Unlike other dances, there are no set combinations or routines you can learn on your own.

We ask you to book with a dance partner. This ensures numbers of leaders and followers are balanced and no-one has to sit out.

Location

Our classes are held in the West End, in Turnbull Hall, 13-15 Southpark Terrace, between Kelvinbridge Underground and Hillhead Underground. Note that this is not a drop-in class.

Argentinean tango: the thing for you?

You think you're not the dancing type? So did we until we discovered the Argentinean tango. To dance the tango, you don't need that elusive 'natural sense of rhythm'.
Argentinean tango is a restrained, stylish improvisation dance – steps can be combined in endless variations.
You're warned, once you're dancing, it's a passion for life!

What to bring to the class

You don't need dancing shoes but bring a pair of shoes with smooth soles if you can (leather or other smooth material) [read more about dancing shoes]. It may be a good idea to bring also a bottle of water.
