Loads of people have been contacting us lately asking for tango classes in Chelsea. We have held classes at several venues in the area over the past year and a half but hadn’t, until now, found that perfect place – a place with huge mirrors, a giant dance floor, great changing rooms, all newly decorated and situated in an ideal location just off the fashionable hub of the King’s Road.

After months of searching and waiting, it looks like we have found the right spot for our Tangolicious Chelsea classes and this will be announced as soon as everything has been signed and sealed!

We will be holding the class every Thursday from 8.00-9.00pm as of January 7th 2016. The class will cost £15 with no membership fee to pay. And. like all the classes, every 6th class is free with our loyalty card!

WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

By popular demand, we will kick of this Tuesday’s class with some Tango Vals steps.

There are three types of dance in the Tango family and if you dance at a tango event you will experience them all: tango, vals and milonga. Vals is a more lyrical dance in three time, and milonga is very playful with a faster beat.

nb: confusingly “milonga” is also the name of the dance hall or event where tango is danced, as well as the faster type of tango!

The class will be suitable for all levels, so please join us, it’s drop-in so no need to book!

Details: Tuesday 27th October, 7.00-8.30pm at Danceworks, 16 Balderton St. W1k 6TN. £10 plus entry to Danceworks.

Hope to see you there!

Some reviews from several happy couples I taught for their wedding first dance. All of them requested a choreography which they preferred over the idea of improvising. I also made sure that they would be able to improvise should they forget their steps on the big day. One of the couples only had two two-hours sessions and had never danced before! All were delighted with how their first dance turned out.

Please contact me if you would like to arrange classes, or come to one of the three drop-ins I run each week!

“Thanks so much for helping us with our dance – I will send you a pic when I get them. Everyone said it looked great and I think we performed it well. My husband and I really enjoyed taking dance lessons so it might be something we’ll do again in the future.”

“Thank you so much for the wedding dance lessons. Our instructor made the classes fun and informative. She was incredibly supportive, well organized and professional. In just two sessions, we had our two minute first dance memorized. I highly recommend!”

“The wedding went really well and we enjoyed it a lot accompanied by all our friends. The tango went also well, and for the first time I really enjoyed dancing so thanks for that!. Have look to the file attached as this is what we finally achieved with your help. Many thanks again and hope to see you in the future…”
