Both Tuesday and Friday are beginner-friendly. Come alone, with a friend, or with a partner, and choose the class that fits your rhythm: Tuesday for technique and guided practica, Friday for a lesson followed by a relaxed dance evening.

Group lessons on Tuesdays

Tango Technique (beginner-friendly): 20:00 – 21:00

Intermediate/Advanced: 21:00 – 22:30

Practica: 22:30 – 24:00

Tuesday is beginner-friendly and also gives experienced dancers room to go deeper. We work on posture, connection, rhythm and technique, building clear foundations while offering refinements and variations for intermediate and advanced students.

After the lesson, stay for practica to repeat what you learned, ask questions and dance with others in a supportive Amsterdam tango community.
