Introduction to Argentine Tango: 5-Week Beginner Course
Advertisement
​Spend your Fridays learning something your phone can't teach you. ​Tango = an excuse to be weirdly present with another human, move to music from 1940s Buenos Aires, and actually talk to people IRL. No screens. No scrolling. Just you, another person, and whether you can walk backwards without looking.
When: Fridays, 6:30-8:30pm (Jan 30 - Feb 27)
​Where: Nilupul Foundation, 51 Reform Street

​​👉 What we'll cover:
-> ​Walking (with a person in front of you, sometimes backwards, if you're brave)
-> ​Leading/following aka how to have a conversation without talking
-> ​Orchestras, rhythm, how to actually HEAR tango music
-> ​Tango culture and history (the drama, the codes, the vibes)
-> How to practice at home or with friends and actually improve
-> ​How to participate in the local tango community, the bigger Scotland scene, and events happening around the world
-> ​Social time: cookies, unhinged games, realizing there are weirder people than you out there (I'm talking about myself, okay 🐣)

​No partner needed. No experience needed. Just comfy clothes and flat shoes!
​There will be baked goods. There will be memes (meme-based learning is superior). There will be my feelings about music written and recorded by dead people.

​👉 Prices:
-> 5-week pass - £30
-> Single class booked online - £7
-> Single class at the door - £10 (not a cash hater, but It's a hassle, and buying online helps us plan)
Students get 50% off everything (just bring your student id)

Boring disclaimer - how the money works:
I (Daniela) make £0 from this. I have a day job and do it because I love dancing. Venue gets paid. Rest goes to the "visiting teachers fund" so we can invite cool people and organise cool events.
​👉 ​About booking & cancellations: We accept cash at the door but booking online helps us plan. If you need to cancel, we'll give you credit for another class rather than a refund - we all have day jobs and chasing refunds is a mess. Be kind, consider the hassle cancellations create for us 😛
Cyaaa 🥳
