Argentine Tango exists in many forms from the show tango of Strictly to the more gentle social dance done in the milongas of Buenos Aires and around the world. We teach the social dance, which can evolve towards something more ‘showy’ as you become more skilled and experienced. To give you an example of the social dance this video shows one of our very popular guest teachers, Gabriela Fernandez from Buenos Aires doing an improvised (not choreographed) demonstration to a group of her students in France.
