You don't know how to tango. That's exactly the point 💃

New Dancer Night is for people who are curious about tango and maybe haven't tried something new in a while.

Our instructors have taught complete beginners for years and the room is full of people in exactly the same boat as you.

And the first intro class is coming up this week on June 17!!!

If you've been on the fence about trying tango, June 17 is your night. Spots are limited. Register through SkillPop with our link in bio!

Doors open at 6:30 PM, class starts at 7 PM, practica starts at 8:15 PM.

We're switching things up at Tango Wednesday! Starting in June, every 3rd Wednesday of the month will be New Dancer Night, a welcoming, low-pressure intro to tango designed for people who have never danced before.

No partner. No experience. Just show up ready to try something new and meet some new people! If you've been wanting to join us, now is your chance!

🗓 Every 3rd Wednesday | First up: June 17
📍 The Long Room · 1111 Central Ave, Suite 230

And to all of our Tango Wednesday regulars, don't worry! We'll have Tango Wednesday as planned every week besides the 3rd Wednesday, and you can join us for the practica starting at 8:30 PM after the intro class.

We hope to see you on the dance floor!
