Saturday beginners workshop
A one day tango course for absolute beginners
Saturday 8th February 2025, 11am-5pm
Polonia Club, Chesterton Road, Cambridge, UK
A whole day dedicated to introducing you to the wonderful dance of Argentine tango.
We assume no prior dance knowledge whatsoever and will gently guide you through your first steps in tango.
We will start by introducing the posture, then you will learn how to connect to a partner. By the time we break for lunch you will be walking together to music, which is the essence of tango!
In the afternoon we will introduce step combinations such as the the forward and backward ocho. By the end of the day we will teach the giro (pronounced hero), a beautiful circular movement where the follower moves around the leader.
The Beginners day is aimed at people who would like to learn tango but might not be able to commit to a 6 week course of classes. It's also ideal for people returning to tango after a break who want to go right back to basics, or for those who want to learn to dance in the other role.
Saturday 8th February 2025, 11am-5pm, with breaks for lunch and coffee.
£70 per person (£60 for full time students) Book now
This course will take place at the Polonia Club, Chesterton Road, Cambridge, UK.

“Thank you for a fabulous day, we both enjoyed it and had a great time. It’s testament to your teaching style that the group was able to progress from zero to giro in the day."
Jim and Debbie, Zero to Giro course participants
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 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 welcome to stay with the partner you booked with for the whole class.
Is there parking at the venue?
There is parking at the back of the Polonia Club that you are welcome to use. There is also parking for bikes at the side, near the entrance.
Do you provide lunch?
No. We provide tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the day. You're welcome to bring your own lunch, or else get it from one of the local shops and cafes.
