About the workshops

This foundation workshop is ideal for all levels, including for those who are new to Tango, or who want to review core Tango technique. We will cover a wide range of the core Tango movements and steps, allowing you to get started with social dancing immediately.

No partner required - we will match leader and follower numbers.

So:

• If you've always wanted to start Tango, this is your chance.
• If you've tried and liked Tango, but then didn't return because life got in the way, this will help you re-start your learning.
• If you're looking to revise and improve your core technique, this is the workshop for you.

Cost: £40 single / £65 per couple.
