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.

From July 2005, Eduardo Bozzo became our resident teacher from Buenos Aires. He also teaches Tango in Bournemouth and Bristol (see below for details).

See TLC Tango dancers on BBC1 - May 2009

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

'


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.
