the classes...

Jenney Surelia draws on her knowledge and experience as a dancer and teacher, to expand on a different Tango theme each week. We spend time focusing on technique, body alignment and posture and using guided discovery, you're taken on a tango journey searching for dancing that is creative, communicative and connected. Whatever the theme may be, musicality, dialogue, connection, the embrace or figures, you're encouraged to build on your skills every week and develop the kind of dancing that is a delight to see and dance in the milongas.
The classes are a mixed level and you're encouraged to swap partners. Why mixed level? By doing so it brings out the need to connect and adapt to a person regardless of their level, one of the essential skills for dancing Tango in the milonga which is what we're all about.

What people are saying.

  • "a fantastic introduction to tango. Each week new elements are introduced, starting with correct posture, weight shifting and walking (sounds simple but it's not!), progressing to the hold, how to lead and follow and basic steps, including adornos and ochos. The importance of connection and the exchange of energy are also explained. Jenny is a fantastic teacher friendly, informative, encouraging and attentive. Her enthusiasm and love for tango is evident and catching! I will definitley be continuing with the beginners classes. A note on the venue - I took the class at Bankside, this is incredibly easy to get to for anyone working in the Bank/ St Paul's/ Monument area as it is just a short walk across the millenium bridge. It's also only a ten minute walk from London Bridge and Southwark underground stations and within easy reach of Waterloo by foot or bus."

  • "Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the great lesson yesterday - I really enjoyed being able to go back and concentrate on some fundamentals. It's great to be pushed and challenged to learn something that is so much fun no matter how hard and elusive some parts of it feel at times!"

  • "I'd been having group lessons for about 5 months when I joined your course, and I found exactly what I was looking for - a warm, friendly, and condusive atmosphere in which there was a clear, detailed, enjoyable, and interesting approach to some of the very basic elements of tango. Because the class was small I get to work with you regularly, and that was very helpful as your comments are clear and to the point. As a whole, the atmosphere was both congenial and focused, and I am looking forward to the next classes. Many thanks,"
