“the happiest place in London” – Milena

Tango was love from first try! Our experience could not be better with David and Kim, who are truly passionate about what they are doing. Thank you for helping us make our first steps in tango, for being so encouraging, cheerful and kind and just the greatest people ever!  You won’t find a better place to get an experience of a lifetime!

Oksana

“Not only the best tango performers in London but also the best teachers. Teachers who actually understand body mechanics enough to explain things in a language that beginners can understand & use. The classes are warm, friendly & the highlight of my week. They are charming, have a wonderfully located school & have created a warm & caring community around them.”

James Douglas

“Kim & David are stunningly elegant dancers but they are also passionate, talented teachers. They have been for me incredibly warm, genuine and professional. Their classes, challenging, fun and non-competitive, are a perfect environment to learn or improve your tango. Love them.”

Katy P

“David & Kim are not only the perfect compliment to each other as dancers but also as teachers. You really sense that they’re with you in whatever stage you’re at and in tune with what it feels like to be a beginner. I know how much I’ve gained by their support and I know I’m going to get 100% of their focus & expertise every time.”

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Find the answers to the most common questions … or send us a message below and ask us direct! We’re always happy to help!

DO I NEED A PARTNER?

Absolutely not!

For our studio classes, we’ll find a partner for you. For online, simply choose our solo option and let’s get started!

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE?

None whatsoever!

It is often said that if you can walk, you can tango! We’ll break things down into simple, logical pieces. You’ll feel like you’re dancing in just one class!

DO I NEED TO COME WEEKLY?

There’s no need at all.

It’s easy to worry if you miss some classes, but it is always possible to pick up where you left off. Start – and re-start – at any time!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Anything comfortable is fine.

For footwear, we’d recommend leather-soled shoes, and (if you’re female) a pair of high heels. There’s no rush to get a proper pair of Argentine tango shoes (but if you’re interested in seeing our collection click here)

ARE THERE AGE LIMITS?

Not at all.

In fact, one of our favourite things about tango is that it attracts people of all ages … from 18 to 80 plus!

More than just steps …

In our classes, you’ll gain far more than just steps. Scientific studies on mindfulness have shown tango comes out top – even beating meditation!

Here’s how:

reduceS stress

SHARPENS MENTAL FOCUS & MEMORY

ENHANCES SELF-ESTEEM

FOSTERS REAL HUMAN CONNECTIONS

STRENGTHENS CREATIVITY

IMPROVES EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION

NURTURE FRIENDSHIPS

And if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also find in our classes an enclave of like-minded people to share your new-found passion with.

We hold regular events outside of our classes to nurture the sense of community.
