a course...

This is a longer introduction to Tango lasting eight weeks. Whilst Tango is not something you can put a timeframe on for learning, this course will give you a solid foundation of useful dancing elements to improvise with in your dancing. It is only possible to book with a partner.

Jenney Surelia draws on her knowledge and experience as a dancer and teacher, to expand on a different Tango element 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.

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!

  • "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,"
