You will learn more walking and pivoting; forwards & backwards ochos; the cross and variations; combinations of steps and pivots that will allow the introduction of walking turns; basic musicality; and, continue to develop connection and communication with your partner.

You Don’t Need Special Clothes or Shoes
Please come to all classes in comfortable clothes, with low supple shoes (or socks), as well as your normal dance shoes – wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes that will not fall off. Leather soles are easier than crepe or rubber – try them out on a wooden floor, can you do the twist?
Ladies, you don’t have to wear heels and something with a strap is a good idea – court shoes and mules are not! Wear comfortable clothes and if you wear a skirt make sure you can do a big side step in it without being constrained.

Join us for Tango Tea
Included in the price, and after the third class of each course, you are invited to Tango Tea on the first Sunday of the following month to try out what you know and meet some of our regular dancers. This will allow you to practice in a more social environment, with other dancers and where you are already familiar with the surroundings. This is a relaxed informal gathering of our dancers that will allow you to develop by dancing with a partner of different experience to your own. Apart form the opportunity to dance there is a friendly, social atmosphere where dancers are encouraged to watch, chat and eat cakes!
