Argentine Tango Classes in Bilbao
Beginner Level
Argentine Tango Introductory Classes in Deusto and Uribe Kosta
Start dancing Argentine tango FROM ZERO!
Tango is a sophisticated and elegant dance created through a beautiful connection between couples moving to the rhythm of the music. It's fiery, passionate, and dramatic, but the connection between partners is gentle and loving.
In our beginner tango classes in Bilbao, and at Uribe Kosta, you'll learn to dance appropriately to the emotion and dynamics of a tango.
THE OBJECTIVE: to be able to enjoy dancing tango on the dance floor in a social context, at the city's various social events.
LEVEL FROM ZERO
Our beginner classes and courses are well-structured and suitable for those with no experience in tango or other dance forms. It's not necessary to bring a partner to class.

Tango Initiation Teachers
Borja Alkalde and Christina Gómez have each been dancing tango for 16 years and have been a professional tango partner for 10 years, teaching classes throughout Europe, at tango events, and in their own tango studios in Bilbao. They have studied with great masters of Argentine tango and have competed in important championships, both in Tango de Pista (social and improvised tango) and Tango Escenario (choreographed and exhibition tango). More than anything, they simply love tango and are happy to be able to work in the service of this incredible dance.
