European Tango
A dramatic and passionate dance that originated in Argentina, the tango is very popular throughout the world, particularly in the United States. It is characterised by lively, staccato movements and a moody aesthetic. Because of its theatrical nature, the tango has been featured in many Hollywood films, including "Scent of a Woman" (danced by Al Pacino), "Moulin Rouge" and "True Lies" (danced by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis).
Tango is perfect for those who want to express themselves on the dance floor. The important dance techniques of Lead and Follow are best learned in Tango, which will help you in any dance you try.

We practice the traditional popular Tango which is part of the ballroom dances.
Tango is danced to a repetitive style of music, with the count of the music being either 16 or 32 beats. While dancing the tango, the woman is typically held in the crook of the man’s arm. She holds her head back and rests her right hand on the man's lower hip, and the man must allow the woman to rest in this position while leading her around the floor in a curving pattern. Tango dancers must strive to make a strong connection with the music as well as their audience in order for it to be successful.

-
Do you organise courses during the summer holidays?
Yes, we sometimes organise "special courses" during the summer holidays which are independent of the regular group courses.
So if you go on holiday in the summer you don't lose any classes.
You can still take these courses if you wish.
-
What is the ratio of men to women in group classes?
We're very careful about this, we like a balance between men and women for all our couples group classes. If you can enrol, in other words if the system lets you enrol, then the balance still holds.
If there is a tendency towards imbalance, the system blocks the excess gender to prevent the excess gender from registering. So if you're male or female and you see that you can't register, just come and check from time to time to see if we can take the gender you belong to again, or send us an e-mail, and once you see that male or female can be registered again, register straight away without waiting for the risk of someone else coming to register.
-
If I register today, do I have to start today or this week?
No, if you register you are not obliged to start the week you have registered for. During the registration process, you will be asked to choose a start date on the calendar, which will then count as your first day.
So, for example, you could enrol in March and choose September as your start date, and that September date would then count as the first day of your course.
