About the Tango weeks for beginners:
- What is the difference between the Argentine tango and ballroom tango?
The ballroom tango has fixed patterns. The Argentine tango does have 8 basic steps, but from these endless variations can be made. That is why it is a dance of improvisation, in which one plays with the music with feeling and in contact with the partner.
- Do I have to come with a partner to take part in the tango classes?
It is to be preferred, but should you come on your own, no problem.
We will find you a partner and we change partners regularly.
