Learn to dance with Tango East

If you need to know your ochos from your boleos, your Orillero from your Canyengue or you just want to be able to dance tango socially, our lessons will get you on the floor and dancing.

We specialize in giving the absolute beginner a strong foundation in the physical vocabulary and somatic syntax of tango.

We teach the kinetic units that are fundamental to the architecture of tango, so that you will understand the technique more fully and be able to create your own spontaneous choreography in dialogue with your partner.

Tango lesson

Our music ranges from the traditional tango orchestras of Canaro, Pugliese and D'Arienzo through to neo-tango and electro fusion: Carlos Libedinsky, Otros Aires, Gotan Project, as well as artists from the older European tradition, Pjotr Leschenko, Lili Boniche, Jean Moscopol, and our own local Norfolk tango composer Sean A. McGee.

Workshops and intensives are held throughout the year in Tango, Milonga, Vals and Somatic Tango release techniques.

We also run an IDTA medals programme. The next exam will be held in July 2012.

For those who prefer a more structured approach to learning, this is a sound way to assess the progression of your technique.

Private lessons are priced at £50 for 45 minutes.

We are often asked if there are any instructional books on tango we would recommend; for social dancers who don't have a foundation in any other style of partnership dancing this one is probably the most accessible 'Gotta Tango' by Alberto Paz and Valerie Hart

Just remember when it comes to dance education, there is no substitute for floor-time and the in-put of a professional practitioner. Tacit knowledge requires action: you have to dance the dance to know and understand it.
