Join us on Monday evenings for Argentine tango classes with outstanding instructors Fernanda Ghi, Guillermo Merlo, and Mia Dalglish (read their info at the end of this page). Whether you are completely new to tango, or already have some experience, you will find a friendly environment to learn new things and improve your technique.

Further Notes
Please read our Statement of Conduct.
Partners: No partner is necessary. We will be rotating partners often. We think partner rotation is a good idea to help you improve your dance; however, having said that if you are uncomfortable changing partners we will understand if you want to skip partner changes. However, we really prefer that you DO change partners, since we are all trying to work together to get better.

Clothing & footwear:
– Wear comfortable clothing.
– Footwear: wear shoes with leather or suede soles (or skip the shoes and wear fuzzy socks) so you can pivot. Make sure the shoes stay on your feet easily (no mules or slingbacks) so that you can walk backwards.
