Absolute Beginners classes are on Mondays : the doors open at 7.15pm for enrolment, the Class starts at 7.30 and ends at 9.30, with the practice session, the practica, carrying on till 10.00pm. Classes cost £10.00 per person.
When you start you will have to enrol for the Beginners Course of four classes, so your initial payment will be £40.00. It is preferred that you take these classes on four consecutive Mondays or Tuesdays so that you do not forget any of the steps, but if necessary they can be spread out over a longer period, for a maximum of two months.
Once you have mastered the basics you can move onto our Advanced Beginners class on Tuesdays or Thursdays, where you can develop your technique and learn more advanced steps.

If you cannot make Tuesdays, then the Thursday class might also suit you.
Intensive Introduction to the Tango:
Our Intensive Introduction workshop usually takes place on the first Sunday of the month, however as the first weekend in April is Easter Weekend we have moved the class back a week, so the next workshop will be on Sunday 11th April 2010.
The Workshops run from 4.00 - 8.00pm (with a free glass of wine at 6.00pm), and cost £30, payable in advance. They provide a comprehensive introduction to the Argentine Tango, and are the ideal starting point for learning this wonderful and intimate dance. Following the Intensive Class you should continue to develop your skills at the ongoing beginners classes on Mondays and Thursdays.
Places are limited so you must book in advance. We have a lot of interest in these workshops, and they are always fully booked by the due date. Please note that we can only give refunds for missed classes if we get at least 48 hours notice of cancellation. Please email us or call Simon on 020 7221 9535 to make your reservation and pay the course fee.
Private Classes:
Private classes with Takis are suitable for both beginners and for those wishing to improve their technique, as they are a much more personal and intensive class. They cost £30 per hour for one person, or £50 per hour for a couple. Private classes are available in the afternoon and evening on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons (after 4.00pm).
