Intermediate Argentine Tango Classes in Deusto and Urduliz


Once you've gained a solid understanding of the concepts in our beginner's course, you can continue your Argentine Tango journey by joining our Intermediate Tango Classes.

LEVEL: These classes are ideal for people who have been dancing for six months to three years, both at Querido Tango and with other teachers, and who have some experience dancing socially at milongas.
