It is often said that beginners aspire to dance like intermediates and intermediates like advanced and that even the advanced want to dance like 'the best'; whilst 'the best' want nothing more than than to perfect what they were taught as beginners. It's a tough idea to get your head around, especially if your past experience of dance has focused on footwork, patterns, steps or choreography. But unlike any other dance, Tango is improvised. But you don't need 'steps'! From the beginning we teach our stude...

http://www.thistangolife.co.uk/history.cfm
A brief history of tango. The roots of tango are lost in time. Tango obviously came out of somewhere but no-one made a note of it's birth and early development. You could be forgiven for thinking that it burst onto the scene in an almost fully-fledged form sometime around 1890 when there is a report of tango being danced on stage. Obviously, the dance started some time before that! The truth is often hidden beneath a veneer of pleasantry. I think that is what is happening here. It is possible tha...Music...

We run post-class practicas - the cost is included i the class price. Tango is danced around the outside of the room with a fairly constant anti-clockwise flow. If you are tr...
