Tango Argentino Beginner Classes in Dubai Every Friday

Picture by Alexander Zabala, tangoimage.com

"The tango is a feeling that is danced. That’s why it is not choreographed, though it can have sequences, like all feelings. You can dance love, rage, happiness, pleasure, every mood. The tango is not a dance to demonstrate ability but rather an interpretation of feeling. It is not just moving your feet and posturing. The tango is Argentine, but it belongs to all those who understand its feelings and its codes." - Words of Cacho Dante, Milonguero de Buenos Aires, November 1998

Basic Information & Class Structure

Oliver & Lin are representing the style of Tango de Salon. This style is danced socially in salons (milongas) all over Buenos Aires, rather than for exhibition. Now, the world beyond Buenos Aires has fallen in love with this beautiful dance, and its enchanting music uniting all.

Traditional Tango de Salon is about musicality, the embrace, elegance, posture and the respect for the other.

In 2009, Tango was declared as part of the world's 'Intangible Cultural Heritage' by UNESCO.

As the goal of the course is to learn a set of basic steps. The students should have fun and pleasure during the classes. They should be able to move smoothly, be relaxed and be confident with the music on the dance floor. We are working intensively on elegance and musicality.
