Beginners Tango – Group Class

The tango consists of a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras of Argentina, as well as in other locations around the world. The dance developed in response to multiple cultural elements, such as the crowding of the venue and even the fashions in clothing. The styles are mostly danced in either open embrace, where lead and follow have space between their bodies, or close embrace, where the lead and follow connect either chest-to-chest (Argentine tango) or in the upper thigh, hip area (American and International tango).

What to Wear

• Comfy clothing, nothing tight that may restrict movement and flexibility.
• Shoes you’re comfortable in. If you cannot walk in heels then you cannot dance in heels, so pick a flat or appropriate heel. We recommend The Dancer In You if you are looking for practice shoes. Please Note: proper ballroom shoes have a suede sole that should not be worn outside.
