Our Tango Links
What is Harborough Tango like? Well, we have many web pages devoted to this that you will find on the side menu of this web page, but in a few sentences what we aim to be is: fun, sociable, elegant, relaxed, musical, free, controlled, comfortable Argentine Tango.
Tango is like all human knowledge. The more you learn and know, the more you find out that there is yet to learn and to know. How wonderful is that?
You can enjoy tango immensely during the first hour of your contact with it, but it can take you a lifetime to master it. Typically we are finding that people in the Harborough Tango community can get to an Intermediate/Advanced level of dancing after 1 year of dancing once or twice a week, having done one or two tango courses and a bunch of drop-in lessons. More importantly, the warm,social nature of the group means that you can really enjoy social dancing very soon.
*****
Our classes are 'drop-in' classes so people turn up when they can. There is no beginning and end of a course - it is a rolling curriculum. Some people phone, all enthusiastic but fail to show a few days later. I do hope those folk do not imagine that they have 'missed the bus'. No way! You are welcome whenever.
In general, the classes we run always deal with the serious basic issues that dancers at all levels need to work on. These are balance, connecting with the partner and understanding the concept of axis. We are not into show dancing but work towards competence in a social setting. Any beginners turning up for the first time will have no problem joining in.
