Tango Lessons - for absolute beginners
Three minutes of love, three minutes of sensual sex. It depends on you how you'd like to have it. The difference between "ballroom" Tango and the authentic form is great. While, the ballroom variant is essentially a separate European dance loosely based on some Argentine Tango steps, once restructured by an influential German champion, and further developed in English ballroom competitions during the last 80 years. It had been made to make an impression on the judges: quick, suprising, all too elegant and definitely a show of force. A decent Latin American never shows how he would tear a woman's clothes off, but he might give a hint that he would - if she let him... Authentic Argentine Tango is more intimate, infinitely sexier, more social, more complex, more refined and definitely not so artificial like its European counterpart. It is completely improvised - like life - with only two points of reference: the woman and the man. In Tango they dance the everyday stories of a relationship, which has a thousand faces. It can be relaxed and free, can be dominant-submissive, can be powerful, can be subtle, and can be flirtatious. As they say: 'Tango is Life on the dancefloor. Life is Tango off the dancefloor'. It's going to help you understand the eternal relationship of men and women, or at least yourself...

Dame Otra! Salsa Rueda - for absolute beginners
Latin groove, short skirts, seaside fiesta non-stop in the tropical night. The biggest Latin American cultural cocktail in music and dancing with lots of Cuban rum added. Cuban Style Salsa is the way Salsa is danced on the island, retaining the most of the Cuban social dances it developed from. Cuban Salsa is a dance for the dancers and not for the public, it is very easy to learn and since we teach Salsa through its group variant called Rueda de Casino, you can learn Salsa steps without bringing a partner with you. In this form, couples change partners with every single figure, on the music, as the part of the choreography, so even if the gender balance is off, you won't remain without a partner for more than five seconds.
-> Thursdays - we are awaiting your application. As soon as we have the required number of people, we start the course.
