Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring?
We recommend comfortable shoes that have no rubber soles. Sneakers with high grip soles may not be the best option If you have some dance shoes from another dance style like latin or ballroom, these will do. Once you settle in your tango journey and decide to buy a good pair of tango shoes, we recommend Tangolera shoes
Do I need a partner ?
No, you don’t need a partner to book a class. In fact most of our tango students book their classes on their own. Tango is a social improvised dance which means you get to connect and improvise to the music with different people. In classes, you will partnered with other students and we will rotate partners. You can still choose to remain with your partner if you wish. We believe that rotating partners would be good for your learning journey.
Do I need previous experience?
Absolutely not. Some of Sydney’s best tango dancers did not have any dance experience before their first lesson.
What should I expect in my first class?
Some people may feel intimated trying out a new activity. Especially with an intimate nature such as tango. Our feedback from all our students is that we make them feel at ease with no expectations. Tango can take time to learn and no one will master the dance in one class. We promise you, you won’t regret it 🙂
How many students are in each class?
The numbers usually vary but we aim to have a limited number of students to ensure a good learning experience.
Practise what you learnt in the Evening Practicas
Our classes are assisted by some of Sydney’s best social dancers. We hold practicas after the classes to be able to offer students real time feedback to progress them at their fastest potential. There are also countless events throughout the months for the community to practice, dance or just hang out.
