- What should I prepare for a tango class?
Please wear in smart casual clothing, heels for the ladies and formal leather shoes for the men; shoes with genuine leather soles are recommended. There is no need to purchase ballroom dance shoes just for the tango beginners course as they are not suitable for Argentine Tango. We do help to carry Tango Shoes FELIPE.H in our school.
- Do I need a partner?
You don't need to find a partner for learning the tango. Students can enroll alone or in pairs. We will rotate partners during the class.
- What language is conducted in a class?
The instructors can speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin; depending on the members in the classes, All of the 3 languages might be used in the class. Also, some professional words in Spanish will be used since the Tango is from Argentine Spanish.
- After taking the Beginners Course, What next?
Students can join elementary level classes with membership. In time, we will let members know when they are ready to take more advanced classes. Members are free to review in a beginner's class if joining the other classes of the day. For people who have an intensive time schedule, private lessons are recommended.
- How long does it take to learn Argentine Tango?
All students can essentially start dancing in milongas (tango parties) after the beginners' course, although the average time for students to feel at ease dancing in the milongas is 6-12 months. However, most students continue learning with us for years, polishing their dance and learning new movements.
- If I have taken a beginner’s course at other Tango schools, which class shall I join?
We recommend students who have had less than 6 month’s experience learning at other schools to start from our beginners' course. For those with more experience who would like to join our elementary or more advanced classes, we highly recommend them to join our beginners' classes concurrently or take private lessons to familiarize themselves with our system of teaching.
