Tango Barre Choreography

In these workshops, you will warm-up with a few technique exercises before moving straight into learning a choreographed routine at the barre using Argentine tango as the core movement language. The majority of the session will be spent learning and refining the routine, always with the chance to add your individual flair.

Each week will involve a different piece of music and a different choreography. Come along to give yourself a mood boost in the middle of the week!

These are solo technique classes so no partner is required

Clothing – anything you feel comfortable moving in

Footwear – tango shoes (flat or heels) or shoes without too much grip to allow for twisting/pivoting
