All of Tanguito’s latest news and events will be published here. So, if you want to know what we’re up to, come back here often! After all, we are busy tangoing bees – tango classes, milongas, tango holidays, tango festivals… We don’t often get bored and suspect that you neither! :-)

Tandas we ❤ – Francisco Canaro (Vals)
One of the best ways to improve your dancing is to know tango music better. Check out our tandas to discover (or rediscover) new orchestras or new songs.
The Witty Brothers
Some people may think that these two brothers, Enrique and Guillermo De Fazio, are breaking all conventions of tango by dancing together, male-to-male. However, as many would tell you, this is the opposite of the truth...

Dimension: Directions - Theme: Managing corners
In the beginners class, we looked at two simple ways to turn 90 degrees to stay in the line of dance. With the intermediates, we explored creative ways to manage corners, using variants of arrastres and crosses.

Dimension: Directions - Theme: Creative changes of directions
In the beginners class, we looked at variants of the step we call promenade with adornments for the follower and the leader. For intermediates, we looked at two creative ways of changing directions, one with rebounds and the other with a pivot on two feet.

Dimension: Directions - Theme: Giros with enrosque & lapiz
Last week, we saw a version of the giro to the left, this week we focused on a giro to the right. For the intermediates, we looked at a half giro and then a full giro with enrosque. Two classics.

Tandas we ❤ – Franciso Canaro (Tango)
We like to publish tandas on our blog to get you inspired in between classes and milongas! Expect some humming or little twitches from your foot – better not fight it.
This is a rather rhythmical tanda from Canaro - much more than what you might be used to from this orchestra. Still great fun and of course with Canaro, very danceable!

Dimension: Directions - Theme: Giros with sacadas
We started with a very simple giro, a classic figure where the follower walks around the leader in 4 steps. For the intermediates, we looked at two giros with sacadas and a change of energy. Great additions to your repertoire if you want a bit of drama.
