TangomanchesterBanner

We are devoted to promoting Argentine Tango in the Manchester area, by providing exciting classes along with friendly and enjoyable social dancing (milongas).

Our milongas and classes attract people from well beyond Manchester. Our milongas constitute the main tango event in Manchester and are the meeting place for all Tango lovers. Our classes are prepared with utmost care and are are among the most popular and appreciated.

The techniques taught are modern and emphasise functionality, naturalness, dynamics and playfulness. They allow the dancers to effectively master and enjoy both traditional Tango as well as Tango Nuevo and to mix them seamlessly on the dancefloor.

FAQs

Answer to common questions:

  • You can start any date; just show up.
  • No need to book.
  • No need to have a partner (we change partner every few minutes, unless you prefer to work with a partner you came with).
  • Dress as you like but non-sticky shoes are needed (for pivoting).
  • The class is structured as a cycle of basic elements, which can be picked up at any point (although continuity of attendance is preferable).
  • Please approach the class (as everything else) with an open and critical mind; ask why and do not accept things as correct simply because they are repeated by a large number of people. This is the best way to improve and learn. Otherwise, you may limit yourself, miss out, and waste precious time.
