Group Tango Classes
Group classes are often taught at the beginning of a practica or milonga. Look for events on the Hoy Milonga website that have a feet icon – this means there is a class before the event.
NOTE: Before attending any class, remember that schedules change and sometimes teachers are on tour, so make sure to click on the link of the teacher or venue and check for updated schedules.
Beginners
If you’re a complete beginner, aka “newbie”, then see the list of group classes for you in the Getting Started Guide.
Hoy Milonga has the most comprehensive listing of classes. Look for classes for “principiantes” (beginners) in the class details
Beginners Group Classes are popular at these places (click on the venue’s link for current schedule and details):
- La Viruta: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, get the most beginners, especially complete beginners. Best for trying out Tango for the first time.
- Escuela Mundial de Tango: Classes for all levels, look for “Prinicipantes” for beginners. Tip: morning classes have fewer students and you’ll get more personalized attention.
- Estudio de Dinzel: Evening classes Monday to Saturday that are followed by Practicas. On Fridays, “nivel 1” is Level 1 class
- La Catedral: Most nights
- El Motivo: Monday 7pm
- Lubiz Spitel Studio: Thursday 6:30pm
- Club Gricel: Thursday 7:30pm
- Bilongon: Friday 9pm
- Instituto Superior de Tango: Tuesday 1pm
Intermediates
Intermediate group classes are more common than beginner level. When you look at a Hoy Milonga event or class list and don’t see “principiantes”, then the class is most likely an intermediate level.
Escuela Mundial de Tango also has several classes daily from several good teachers. Tip morning classes have fewer students and you’ll get more personalized attention.
Note: Many teachers have their own group classes separate from milongas. These are harder to find, so check their Facebook and Instagram for schedules. Their group classes are a great way to evaluate a teacher and their student community before taking their private classes.
