Why tango?
Tango is a dance based on walking. If you can walk you can tango. It is more than just the steps you learn. Tango is about sharing a connection with another person. Tango is a social dance, one that is more interesting and accessible than what you may have seen performed or shown on screen. Come and find out for yourself. It's a great way to meet people and make friends.
