Tango trial classes
La Tangueria regularly offers 60-minute initiation classes at 10€ per person (deductible upon enrollment) to see if tango is for you. A trial class is also an opportunity for singles to get to know a partner before signing up for a series of initiation classes together. Of course, 2 ladies or 2 gentlemen can also take part together. A trial class can also be used as a catch-up class for those who have missed the start of a series.
NB. The first 30 minutes of the trial class are free. Those who don’t want to pay, can leave after 30 minutes.

Dress code: Come as you like; jeans, suit, sneakers, sandals… no special clothes or shoes are required for an initiation.
Partner: Preferably come as a couple. You can also participate with someone of the same gender. If you don’t have a partner, you can come on your own, but there’s no guarantee you’ll find someone to participate on site (you can then attend as an observer). We can also put you in touch with another single person beforehand, so that you can make an appointment to participate together. Just send us your profile (height, age, languages) or fill out a partner form and we will try to find a suitable partner.
