Tuesdays in The Hidden Rooms
7.30-7.45pm Practica (practice time)
7.45-10pm Core Skills and Basic Moves (break 8.45-9pm)
Practica 10-10.30pm
Plus: open dance floor in the bar area throughout the evening, with a beguiling blend of electrotango/neotango/non-tango music.
Suitable for absolute beginners and anyone else who knows that tango is all about getting the basics right. We often split the class by level in the second half of the evening. No experience or partner needed.
Latecomers are always welcome, but please arrive before 7.45 if possible, especially if it’s your first time. However, if you need to arrive half-way through that’s no problem (space permitting).
Cost £7/£4 concs. for the evening. It’s possible to only do the first or the second half of the lesson (£5/£3) – but it’s best to do the whole session if you can, and stay on to get that essential practice in! Non-dancing friends very welcome free of charge. Just coming to dance in the bar area? Free admission, but please be sure to buy a few drinks to keep our hosts happy.
You’re welcome to bring food (Pizza Express are just upstairs).

Already an experienced tango dancer? Here’s a chance to learn how to really enjoy dancing when it’s shoulder-to-shoulder. (e.g. Niche and most venues in Buenos Aires) Skills like: being grounded; shrinking those big moves without losing energy in your dance; connecting with your fellow dancers in the ronda; getting beyond set steps so you can go anywhere at short notice. Not just a lesson in floorcraft for guys: useful instruction for both men and women.
