Tango Classes
TLC has taught Argentine Tango in Southampton since 1999 and thousands of people have enjoyed the intensity and magic of this dance since then.
If you want to learn this beautiful dance with TLC, please see below for our classes which run throughout the year except at Christmas. No partners are necessary as we all dance together.
Absolute Beginners have a 2-monthly beginners course on Tuesdays & Weds, and Improvers/Intermediates can attend weekly.
In 2012 we welcome our wonderful guest teachers, who will be teaching the Level 3 class on Tuesdays with Tracie .
Take the chance, it might just change your life!

'
It's a step when you walk with your arms together…
It's a hobby when you start walking with people you do and don't know…
It's a dance when you start walking with the music….
It's an art when you get the meaning of it…
It's a way of life once you understand it…
It's a tango.
--Joel Smith, Age 14, July 2002, Polly's Grandson, after dancing tango about six months.
