Come learn to dance Argentine Tango! Over the course of eight weeks, instructors Morgan and Ben will guide the class through the basic principles of tango. This is not a drop-in class, as each week’s techniques build on the previous week’s material so you can leave the series with a set of strong fundamentals. This format allows all students to grow as a group, deepen their learning each week, and build trust with each other. We hope that at the end of the series, students will be able to thrive and enjoy dancing in a social setting. No partner or experience required to join. If you can walk you can dance tango!

Morgan and Ben believe in creating an inclusive, friendly dancing environment where all bodies and genders are welcome to lead, follow, or learn both roles. We do not want cost to be a barrier, please inquire about scholarships or reach out with any questions to ashlandtangoinfo@gmail.com.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on the dance floor!
