Our English site is not 100% upto date !!!

Off course you can dance tango. Everyone can do. And you could share your dance with anyone, anywhere in the world !! Learning tango is very easy. Everyone dances it in the way they like it.

Do not even think of it. If we can dance you can dance, too. All you need is to want to dance.

You do not need to spend much time. Classes are once in a week and lasts 1,5 hours. Plus, they are after the working hours. You can manage this. But remember; If you want to do more, you could join to our regular Sunday practice hours, or more, you could join us on every Friday in the dance nights (mlongas). For every subject you learn the more you spend time for tango the quicker you learn...

No problem at all; Since there are many coming without partners. You could join to one of them. We even encourage to change partners during the classes. Result; you could dance with everyone, which is the main target of our education...

We do not expect you to do so. you will not memorize anything. Our training is not based on memorizing the steps. Otherwise, you would not remember what you memorized in time, Our purpose is to enable you dance in your lifetime...

After the second class !! Is it early ? No you will. all you need to is to be loyal to the dance codes that are very few and easy.

Totally depends on you. There is no limit to learn since tango evolves continously. After you get the fundamentals you will have soo many components in your vocabulary that you could easily create your own moves for your leisure...

Be as comfortable as you can in the classes. Dance nights are not so fancy, not so sport, but a little bit careful, painstaking in order to contribute to the beauty of the night. We will have couple of recommendations for the shoes.

We talk about these in the first class. No worry. Everyone could survive...

That is quite usual. There are many who came since the partner has wanted, but then became more insistive than the partners.

There is nothing wrong in it to try to company to your partner at least to see it....

Who is ? Not a problem. Standing still with the music is also dancing in Tango. We expect you to have fun, not show-up. You are not expected to throw your partners high up and hold them like acrobatics.

We train you to dance how you feel in your own style.

Perfect question. Have you noticed the section on the left under the animations ? Are they familiar to you ? We call them excuses.
