Argentine Tango classes taught by Graham and Nathalie at a small but growing network of venues in the south-east. Join us and discover the exciting world of Neotango, modern Argentine Tango with emphasis on enjoyment and freedom over unnecessary rules and traditions.
All our classes are drop-in, with no courses to book or specific days that you have to start. They are suitable for any age (from 18 upwards) and any fitness level, with any dance experience or none at all.
Our class evenings are split into three parts... a fundamentals session that is perfect for beginners whilst serving as a good reminder or warm-up for more experienced dancers, an improvers class where we look at something in more depth or complexity, and a practice session for you to try out what you have just learned. You only pay once for the evening - £9 per person in a regular class - and for that you can do any part of the evening or all of it, whichever you like.
Have your say:
Could you spare five minutes to tell us what you know (or think you know) about Argentine Tango? All answers are confidential and they will help us create the tango classes that people actually want, not just what we think people want!

What do people say?
Fantastic teacher, great atmosphere!
What an amazing tango school in South Norwood and Sevenoaks. Learning tango with Graham is an absolute delight, and a life changing experience. He inspires you to improve, motivates you to attend classes, equips you with wide ranging skills and ultimately makes you look great dancing! The collaborative, friendly and FUN atmosphere he creates among students is a testament to the quality of his teaching. The classes offer great value for money. While his skill level is very high he is so humble you still feel like anyone can tango. After I did one class (5 months ago) I was hooked!
