Argentine
tango classes
in Alicante

No. You can come on your own, as a couple or with friends. If you already dance, we do a short assessment to place you in the right group. If it is your first time, you start in the starter class.

No. In class we rotate partners so that everyone practises, and we balance the roles in the group. 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. Tango shoes can wait: we will advise you in class.

Yes, there is no need to wait for a new term. The Alicante group started on 25 September and you can join any Friday. In El Campello the group starts on Wednesday 18 November and in Elche on Thursday 19; after that you can also join whenever you like.

Yes. In November there are two free one-hour open classes, no partner or experience needed: in El Campello on Wednesday 11, from 19:00 to 20:00, and in Elche on Thursday 12, from 19:30 to 20:30. We just ask you to book your place. Throughout the year we organise other open days in Alicante.

Whichever is closest to you: the method and the teacher are the same. In Alicante, on Fridays at 19:00, in the city centre; in Elche, on Thursdays at 19:30; in El Campello, on Wednesdays at 19:00. If you are unsure, write to us and we will guide you.

In central Alicante, in a studio easy to reach on foot and by public transport. We give you the exact address when you book, just as in Elche and El Campello.

Yes. Luciano teaches in Spanish, French and English: you can come even if you do not speak Spanish yet. Our groups have students from many countries.

There is no sign-up fee: in the weekly groups you pay by the month, and in November new couples get the 2×1 in their first month. We send you the prices when you book, depending on your group.

Yes. In El Campello, an open class on Wednesday 11 November and a starter group on Wednesdays at 19:00 from the 18th. In Elche, an open class on Thursday 12 and a starter group on Thursdays at 19:30 from the 19th. If you already dance, you are welcome too: we open a class for your level in the following hour or a mixed-level class.

Authentic Argentine tango, also called salon tango or social tango: the one danced at milongas all over the world, with the emphasis on connection, musicality and enjoyment on the dance floor. We also teach milonga and vals criollo, and offer workshops on women’s and men’s technique, musicality and improvisation.

The weekly groups last 1 h. Private classes last from one to three hours depending on your goal, and themed workshops between an hour and a half and two hours.

We teach by level and always assess yours before you start. Starter is for those who have never danced; early learners and beginners, for the first months; intermediate and advanced, for those who already move with ease on the dance floor. There are currently starter and beginners groups in Alicante, Elche and El Campello; the intermediate and advanced group is being formed and, in the meantime, we offer private classes and workshops.

Yes, alone or as a couple and for all levels: to progress faster, work on a technical point (posture, embrace, dissociation, embellishments, musicality), get ready for the milonga or prepare your wedding dance. In Alicante from Tuesday to Sunday by appointment, and in Elche on Thursday afternoons.

Yes. Throughout the year we run women’s technique workshops lasting from an hour and a half to two hours, each on one topic: embellishments, musicality, turns, elegance or interpretation. We will let you know the next dates.

Posture and axis, walk and projection, dissociation and weight transfer, turns, embellishments and musicality, to gain confidence, elegance and expressiveness on the dance floor. They are open to all levels, although you get more out of them after about six months of dancing.

Yes: planeos, boleos, enrosques, caricias and firuletes, from the technique (axis, control, dissociation) and from the music, so you know when and how to use them without breaking the connection.

Through conscious technical work: solid posture, a comfortable embrace, command of your axis and listening to the music. You feel more stable, respond naturally to the lead and bring your own style.

They are the foundation of Argentine tango. Projection means starting the movement clearly; dissociation, moving the torso and legs independently; weight transfer, passing from one axis to the other without losing balance or connection. They are trained with specific exercises that you then apply in social dancing.

Yes: recognising the orchestras, marking accents, interpreting phrases and choosing embellishments or pauses that converse with the music, for a more personal and expressive dance.

Yes, it is the ideal complement: what you work on in the workshop (posture, embellishments, musicality) you apply straight away in the group class and at the milonga.

It depends on each student, but many notice changes within a few weeks: more balance, firmer steps and more confidence on the dance floor.

Yes. In a private class we work on a specific goal (posture, turns, embellishments, musicality or preparing for the milonga) with personalised attention.

They share the same foundation (axis, walk, dissociation, musicality), but each focuses on its role: women’s technique on listening, quality of movement, interpretation and embellishments; men’s technique on clarity of lead, structure of the embrace and creative leading.

The role of the leader: posture and axis, a firm but flexible embrace, walk and projection, a clear lead without abruptness, turns, sacadas and variations, navigating the line of dance and musicality.

Yes. Workshops of an hour and a half to two hours on a specific topic: the walk, the embrace, musicality, turns and sacadas, or improvisation on the dance floor.

By mastering the fundamentals (axis, embrace, walk), listening to the music to choose pauses and variations, and improvising according to your partner and the space. Over time, each leader finds their own way of dancing within the tango tradition.

Yes, that is its goal: with a clear lead, musicality and control of space, you gain the confidence to dance with different partners and on crowded floors.

They share the embrace and the codes, but milonga is faster, more rhythmic and playful, with shorter steps and resources such as the traspié; tango tends to be calmer and more introspective.

A binary beat, faster than tango, with a very steady pulse, short phrases and a cheerful character, with roots in the habanera and candombe.

In milonga lisa you walk one step per beat, with simple movements; in milonga con traspié you add small changes of weight within the beat, for a livelier rhythmic play. Both share the dance floor.

It has fewer figures, but its speed and steady rhythm make it demanding at first. Many students start with tango and vals, and add milonga once they gain balance and musicality.
