Tango Classes at Bailonga

Every week, Bailonga holds two simultaneous lessons: A From Zero Beginner Class for those with no tango experience, and a Continuing Beginner Class to build on the existing knowledge of beginner dancers. All classes are drop-in, no partner required, and the cost of the class is included in admission for the dance.

Continuing Beginner classes adjust to the skill level present so there will always be something new to learn, but you are welcome to take the From Zero class multiple times if you think you’d benefit from going over the absolute basics more than once. Experienced dancers are also welcome and encouraged to attend both lessons!

Tango is entirely improvised, as is the following performance:
