Never tried Argentine Tango? Choose one of our three beginner classes on Sunday evenings, or try a sample private lesson.

Short Beginner's Guide to Argentine Tango
[1] There are 4 kinds of Tango music: Tango, Vals (Waltz), Milonga, and Nuevo. At ATOMIC we offer beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes geared towards each kind of music. Take them all.
[2] A Milonga is also what you call the evening social dance of Tango. So you can dance Milonga steps to Milonga music at a Milonga social dance.
[3] Tango music is played in sets of 3 or 4 similar songs called Tandas. Typically you would stay with the same partner for a Tanda. You will switch partners when the DJ plays a non Tango song. This transition is called a Cortina.
[4] You never need a partner, and no dance experience is expected.
