HELP!

You'll get a discount and we'll get to concentrate more on teaching awesome lessons.

Anyone is welcome to drop in on individual classes; however, each class builds upon the previous class. To enhance understanding, we recommend the series be attended as a whole.

Argentine Tango
 is a complex and intimate social dance containing unique and intricate movements. It can be elegant and playful. Tango is not choreographed, but is improvised as it is danced. Tango is highly personal and expressive, and can be an unforgettable experience intimately shared between you and your partner.
