We offer you weekly group classes, a variety of private lesson packages to suit your budget, weekly social dance events, and an annual festival where we bring in maestros of the dance from all over the world for your learning and dancing enjoyment.
Argentine tango is not just a dance. It can be a way of living that can bring copious amounts of joy to an individual, a partnership, a group and a community. It will change the nature of your relationships, providing you with opportunities to know yourself and understand what is working and not working in your life.
Most importantly, Argentine tango is just downright the best time you will have personally and socially. It is fun!
TangoTucson's passion is to provide the opportunity for learning Argentine tango in an innovative and supportive environment. Our goal is to provide a solid foundation to enable you, the dancer, to progress, learn and grow at your rate and ability. We want you on the dance floor, dancing with the local tango community in Tucson, AZ, and the world.
I challenge you: try Argentine tango. It could be what you have been looking for for so long. It could be what is missing in your life.
Enjoy your tango; enjoy your life!

Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Look for an Instructor that is dancing locally in your community on a regular basis and travels out of town to dance at festivals and makes periodic trips to Buenos Aires. These instructors will be closely in touch with the quality of Argentine Tango and up to date with what is current in the dance. They not only study the dance but also study how to teach the dance.
Do they teach Argentine Tango to the traditional Argentine Tango music or are they using mostly modern music. It can make a difference to what style of tango you are dancing.
Ask them about the three styles of tango...Salon, Milonguero and Nuevo. Can they give you a comprehensive explanation and demonstration of each and how they apply socially.
Determine your needs. Do you want to dance socially or are you interested in performing on stage and/or becoming a professional. If the latter you will be looking for a "teacher of teachers".
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. We love sharing this intriguing and magical dance with our students. We love that while we are teaching our students something that will bring positive aspects to their lives, we are also learning how to be better teachers from our students. Although we are teachers, we are also students and we continue to study ourselves and our dance in order to improve the experience we offer our students. After all, life is made up of experiences and that time is precious. We value your time as much as we value ours!
Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
A. We travel out of Tucson to attend Festivals around the country in order to study with the "Masters" of Argentine Tango. We travel periodically to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to study, dance, and connect with other professionals. Finally, at home, we spend many hours on the dance floor of our home studio discovering and examining movements to enhance our body awareness, fitness and what applies to our teaching skills.
