When & Which classes can I take as a beginner?”

  • We encourage you to feel welcome and drop-in to any of our weekly classes.

  • We study how to move. You’ll never have to think: “where does my foot go?”!

  • All are welcome!

  • Even if you think you can’t dance, we believe you can tango!

Our style thrives on equality and harmony in motion.

* No partner needed. Come as you are!
* Casual and comfortable attire
* Class will be fun,. chill, even meditative

*All are welcome! Even experienced dancers.
* Choose any role you wish to learn. We encourage exploring both roles… BUT, you are always free to choose the one you like the most!

Dress clean and casual. Jeans & tees are totally fine. Please be cautious with strongly scented clothing or perfumes/colognes due to allergies of others. Shoes - start with what you have that is comfortable and thinnest sole you have. We have a few pair of sneaker slips (wrist bands for sneaker toe boxes) to pivot with.
