Let us ignite your passion for the dark side! Tango can be full of intensity, but also playful and full of fun. We can set you on a pathway to change your life!
TLC has taught Argentine Tango in Southampton since 1999 and we have helped thousands of people to enjoy the intensity and magic of this dance since then.
If you want to learn this beautiful dance with our expert teachers at TLC, please see below for our classes for all levels, which run on Tuesdays & Wednesdays throughout the year except at Christmas. We have a very friendly group where we encourage everyone to dance together. This way, you do not need to book with partners, but you can if you wish.
We also regularly host internationally renowned guest teachers; for the weekly Level 4 classes, and weekend workshops. These include:
Look out for our Saturday Milongas (party nights) on the Events page, as well as the annual TLC Ball at Winchester Guildhall. You’ll also find the TLC Tango Facebook group a useful page to visit.
We also have vouchers available to purchase as a gift, for any of our courses or individual classes.

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.
