This class is suitable for those who have done the complete beginners Saturday workshop, or those who are absolute beginners. We will explore and revise the basic principles of Tango, including the salida, pasito milonguero and ocho's. We will focus on the concepts of leading and following, and how to improvise to the music whilst maintaining elegance and flow. In no time at all you will be using the lyrical language of the dance and having fun

Improvers 

This class will start to develop and explore more complex figures, including ocho's, giro's, sacada's and caminata's, whilst continuing to revise the basic principles of tango. This means focusing on the concepts of leading and following, how to improvise to the music whilst maintaining elegance and flow. Suitable for those who have completed at least 5 beginners sessions. Elegant posture, clarity of leadership and sensuality in all steps will be highlighted!

Intermediate

This class is for the more experienced dancer, with its focus on improved technique, effortless decorations and exciting new steps suitable for the social dance floor. We will explore both the open and close embrace, as well as musicality and, as always, elegance and style.

Technique Class


This is a new class, and is a wonderful opportunity for men and women to learn how to dance sensually and elegantly, whilst still finding moments to decorate and add your own interpretation. We will focus on how to do the simple walk, ocho's, giro's, boleo's and gancho's with delicious fluidity and style!
Note: men are most welcome to these classes, and will gain many fundamental technique's common to both leader and follower. They will also gain essential insight into how to allow for ladies decorations, and encourage them as well as developing their own decorations.

Tango Ball/ Milonga

 .  


Tangosouthlondon is delighted to announce its new Once- a -Month Milonga (Tango social dance/ball), where everyone can dance with each other, enjoy a drink at the bar, watch tango performances and  listen to the sweet strains of the Tango music.

 Open Level Dance class There will be a general level Tango class from 7 15 till 8 15pm, for those with at least 5 months experience. Starting in September, this class will focus on learning the milonga - a faster rhythm of Tango. Some say The Milonga was the precursor to the Tango, with a stronger African influence. Come and enjoy learning this playful and upbeat version of Tango!

Milonga/BALL After the class, there will then be dancing for all from 8 15 til 11pm. Please check in News or Milonga/Ball section of this website for details of the next ball, including performances and special events.

Private lessons This is a wonderful way to progress your Tango quickly and thoroughly, at all levels.

These take place in STUDIO HA/LF, a lovely new studio as seen in channel 4's ‘Grand Designs'.
