Our Classes
Learn to be a social dancer, from navigating the dance floor to improvising creatively with any partner. Our dance education program will guide you through your transition into the vibrant DC Tango scene.
We offer Tango instruction in a safe, LGBTQ+-inclusive space for dancers to practice tango according to their unique interests and preferences. We encourage the study of both roles, role-switching, and dancing with a variety of partners. Staying with one partner by mutual consent is also welcome.
