Discover the beauty, intimacy, and expressive artistry of Argentine Tango in this 4-week introductory course. Designed for absolute beginners and curious new dancers, this course builds a foundation in close embrace technique, partner connection, posture, walking patterns, pivots, and musical interpretation, all rooted in the tradition of social tango.

Argentine Tango is an improvised dance—there are no memorized routines. You’ll learn how to create movement in real time with your partner, communicate through intention, and respond to the music with grounded elegance. Each class includes practice time to build comfort, confidence, and trust in leading or following.

Beyond technique, Argentinian Tango is a community dance.

No partner required. Just bring curiosity, patience, and a willingness to connect—your tango journey starts here.
