Tango Fundamentals 1
This 6 week course teaches you the fundamental movement patterns of tango and is designed for absolute beginners. We assume no dance experience whatsoever.
Over the six weeks we will show you the tango posture, teach you how to connect with a partner, and lead you through the basic steps of tango.
Tango is a completely improvised dance, but certain combinations of steps and pivots occur repeatedly and are valuable tools for learning.
“Tango is so much fun, you owe it to yourself to try it for at least a couple of months!”

FAQs
What shall I wear?
Anything you feel comfortable in and can move in. There's no need to dress any particular way.
What shoes shall I wear?
If you have them, wear shoes that you can pivot in - i.e., shoes that don't grip to a wooden floor. Leather soled shoes are ideal. For more information about shoes take a look at this blog post: What shoes should I get for tango?
I've danced a bit of tango already. Is this the right course for me?
This course is designed for absolute beginners. Take a look at Which course is right for me? to see exactly what we teach on Tango Fundamentals. If you already know the moves in Fundamentals 1, you may prefer to join Fundamentals 2 or Improvers.
I booked with a partner, do I need to change partners during the class?
We invite couples to change partners often during the class, but you are more than welcome to stay with the partner you booked with for the whole class.
Is there parking at the venue?
There is plenty of on-street car parking on St Paul's Road and Glisson Road.
There are lots of cycle racks by the church entrance.
