From zero, no partner or experience needed: the starter and beginners group on Fridays at 19:00, in central Alicante.
Before you start
That is what the Friday group is for: you start with the embrace, posture and the walk, from lesson one.
We rotate partners and balance the roles: come on your own or with someone.
Tango can be danced at any age: in class you progress at your own pace.
The programme
A flexible programme: we put quality of movement and musicality before the number of figures.
A comfortable connection, in open or close embrace depending on the figure, and a shared balance.
Direction, step length, expressive pauses and moving along the line of dance.
Dissociation without forcing the knees, forward and back ochos, and a clean turn in both directions.
Pulse, phrasing and accents; tango, milonga and vals; the mirada, the cabeceo and how to navigate without collisions.
Step by step, with clear goals in each session and individual follow-up. You dance to the beat from the first class, instead of memorising figures. Corrections are adapted to each student’s body, in a friendly, pressure-free atmosphere.
The programme is flexible: we put quality of movement and musicality before the number of figures. The group is small, which allows us to correct each student and rotate partners so that you learn to dance with everyone.

Comfortable clothes and smooth-soled shoes that slide are all you need. Avoid very grippy rubber.

No. The Friday group at 19:00 brings together starters and beginners and begins from lesson one. If you already dance, we do a short assessment and guide you.
No. In class we rotate partners so that everyone practises. If you come with someone, that is perfect too, but it is not a requirement to start.
Comfortable clothes that let you move. Ideally, shoes that hold your foot well and slide, preferably with a leather sole; to start with, comfortable shoes without non-slip rubber will do.
Yes. The group started on 25 September and you can join any Friday, without waiting for a new term. In November, new couples who start together on Friday 6 get the 2×1 in their first month; if you come later, the 2×1 returns on the first Friday of the following month.
In Spanish, French and English: tell us when you book which language you are most comfortable in.
Yes: a free open class on Thursday 12 November, from 19:30 to 20:30, and a group on Thursdays at 19:30 from 19 November.
