Join us Thursday nights for ‘Exploring Tango,’ a unique forum tailored for early-stage tango dancers and milongueros/as facing challenges. This hopes to parallel our intermediate and pre-intermediate classes, but any and all dancers are welcome.  This forum offers an in-depth exploration of various aspects of the dance. Engage in dynamic discussions and practical explorations, tackling everything from rhythm challenges to nuances of social dance etiquette. ‘Exploring Tango’ provides a nurturing space to deepen your understanding, refine your skills, and foster connections within the tango community.
