Tango AdHoc

Tango AdHoc is based in Ipswich, Suffolk.

See below for the type of activities we organise in and around the Ipswich area.


UPCOMING EVENTS:

In early October we will be commencing a Beginners Course (in Ipswich) for anyone wanting to learn to dance Argentine Tango.

There will be 2 blocks of five weekly classes commencing Wednesday October 7th. Block 2 will build on the skills learnt in Block 1.

We are working with Tango Zone (Colchester) to deliver this course which will cover the fundamentals of this fascinating dance and give you the skills and confidence to 'take to the floor' for the first time. 

This offering is new to Ipswich and provides, for the first time locally, a great opportunity for everyone to learn the fundamentals of this fantastic dance.

See the side bar for more details about this and other events.


TANGO AdHoc organises informal, social dances (milongas).
In addition to our milongas we arrange ad hoc(!) events including workshops, classes other tango related events.

Are you interested in learning Argentine Tango?

We offer a bespoke learning experience on a 1 to 1 and small group (2-3 couples) basis for those who prefer an immersive, individualised, accelerated approach to learning Argentine Tango.

These are intensive short courses, generally held in Ipswich, that give you a taste of social Argentine Tango and a basic grasp of the fundamentals.
Usually half-day sessions tailored around your own requirements and availabilities.

Follow-up Sessions can be arranged to suit individual learning profiles.

Our approach to dancing, learning teaching Argentine Tango is that;
 

....steps are not enough.


We feel that effectively interpreting the music is the key to enjoying this fabulous dance. You have to;
 

....feel the music.

TANGO AdHoc is non-profit making.
Any surplus over our basic costs is donated to our chosen charity.
