Free Intro to Argentine Tango

What:

Argentine Tango started in Buenos Aires in the late 1800’s and has traveled the world many times over. Considered by many to be one of the most passionate and beautiful dances, it’s a dance of improvisation. But you can’t improvise what you don’t know. Come join our class and we’ll teach you! The class is taught by Barbara and Lee, certified A.T.M.A. instructors, with over 6 years experience teaching Tango.

A partner is not required but is suggested (we try to maintain gender balance). Pre-registration is required! To register or get more information, go to our website, www.tangodelsol.net or call Barbara or Lee at (858) 228-7546
