We look forward to introducing you to the world-heritage Argentine Tango starting on the 23rd of January, Thursday from 19:00-20:15 in the beautiful Cultuurhuis de Paulus, Oegstgeest. Join us for a good introduction to Tango with clear instructions on the fundamentals of technique, embrace, and musicality. The class will be taught by Tango dancers and teachers, with years of experience and an international network.
Dances like the Argentine Tango were created to make people meet, socialize, and connect. In fact, it was thanks to the migrants who needed to meet new people that Tango was born in Buenos Aires.
Today, people in most countries come to Tango to share a nice evening with their partners, friends, or even to make new friends and sometimes to find a life partner.
Social dancing is not what you see in shows. Tango actually happens in places where the music allows conversation and you can sit at a table with friends and have some drinks.
Tango helps you:
• Improve your body coordination and posture. Tango is made to dance socially, you don’t need to be a performer to enjoy a night out dancing.
• Meet new people in classes and dancing nights, even if you come completely alone. No more nights out with colleagues you don’t like.
• Find someone you are looking for, with whom you already share some interest. Enough with the loud clubs that don’t let you build a connection with anybody.
• Gain confidence in approaching people, even if they are shy or introverted. In tango, you don’t need clever lines to break the ice. Just invite someone to dance!
Joining is very simple:
• There will be two chances for free trial lessons on the 9th and 16th of January with no strings attached, so you can try if our classes are for you.
• The official trimester starts on the 23rd of January, 2025 from 19:00 to 20:15 in Cultuurhuis de Paulus, Oegstgeest.
• The class will be in English, so you won't have language problems even if you just landed in the Netherlands (teachers can speak Italian, Spanish, and Turkish as well).
• If you don’t have a partner, we will pair you with one.
• You don’t need any special clothing or shoes. Just dress comfortably.
• Don’t worry if you feel stiff or you feel you can’t dance. We all started like that and you can improve in a few lessons. Tango is not based on complex steps, but on moving together.
• Don’t be afraid if you think you have no sense of rhythm. Tango music has a simple structure anyone can get. Remember that this is a social dance made to bring people together.
•The location is 15 minutes by walking or 5 minutes by biking from Leiden Centraal station and there is free parking in the venue and neighborhood.
