Tango & Samba this week, plus Nightclub Two-Step course coming up

Name: Learn To Dance
Price range: $$

6th September 2026

We hope you’ve enjoyed the summer break (or for parents the return of your children to full-time education!)

Our summer has been packed, and just this last week alone Antony has been giving a go at tiling, after Emma & Antony couldn’t find any tilers with availability. For those who have lessons over the next few days, expect a very broken man! 😂

Classes this week we’ll be recapping the Samba, and looking at Tango.

⭐ Antony & Emma’s tip of the week
The Tango starting position should see the follower further on the leader’s right hand side, so each partner’s right foot starts in line (as opposed to regular Ballroom where you would be pointing between each other’s feet)
