Tango Lessons

The tango is a style of dance that emerged in the dance halls of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the 1880s. It’s a combination of various dance styles, including the Spanish tango, Argentine milonga, and even the Cuban habanera.

If you’ve always dreamed of learning this sultry dance, perhaps it’s time to take tango lessons with us! At TakeLessons, we offer hands-on, in-person classes and the best online tango lessons around. Whether you’re a dancing newbie or borderline pro, our talented tango teachers will provide you with the skills you need to take over the dance floor.

Certified Tango Teachers

Learning to dance the tango isn’t exactly something you can master from reading a textbook or watching a tutorial. To really get the hang of it, you’ll need to work one-on-one with a certified tango teacher who can show you the moves and provide you with constructive feedback.

Here at TakeLessons, we only work with qualified teachers who have undergone background checks. To find your ideal dance instructor, browse each tutor’s profile to find out about their expertise, schedule, and rates. Rates start at $50 an hour, with the average 60-minute session costing $139.

FAQ

Is tango easy to learn?

The tango is not difficult to learn if you turn to the right resources. For example, learning to dance with a private tango teacher will be much easier than trying to teach yourself this style of dance on your own.

When you sign up for our private tango lessons, your tutor will give you step-by-step guidance. Once you master each move, you can build on them and add more advanced techniques. You’ll also receive individualized instruction and constructive feedback to ensure you’re maintaining proper posture, mastering all the technicalities, and avoiding bad habits.

What are the three types of tango?

There are actually eight styles of tango: Argentine tango, Uruguayan tango, show tango, salon tango, tango nuevo, tango apilado, and Finish tango. If you’re interested in learning more about a certain style, speak with your private tutor about your specific goals. Based on your interests, your tutor will create a personalized curriculum that aligns with your preferences. When you take private tango lessons with us, you get to focus on whatever you want!

How can I practice tango?

Once you’ve learned some basic moves in our tango lessons, it’s time to put them into motion. To practice, find a dance partner who is willing to work through what you’ve just learned. Alternatively, you may have a tango group in your neighborhood you can join. No dance partner? No problem! You can always practice your tango moves by yourself. If you go this route, try practicing in front of a mirror to ensure you’re mastering each move. What’s more, you can always ask your tutor for additional tips on how to practice on your own.
