OUR CLASSES
ARGENTINE TANGO OF ALL LEVELS
Our tango studio is one of the largest and most well-established in North America. We offer classes of all levels all year round!
Classes are given in a progressive manner; material is reviewed and built upon each week so that each student can progress, build confidence and feel that they are really improving.
Every two months new series of all different levels begin, so it’s really never too long before a new class starts up! Our teachers also offer a huge variety of specialised mini-sessions for intermediate and advanced level dancers (series that are 2-6 classes long) that explore different styles and themes, or particular advanced steps and figures.
• Class sizes are limited
• Beautiful large studios
• Two teachers per class
• Free supervised practice sessions are included
• Classes are taught in both English and French.
• Reservations & payments must be done in advance.
• Students must refrain from attending if they are unwell or have flu/cold symptoms*
* Dancing in close proximity to others can increase the risk of transmission of respiratory illnesses. We continue to receive messages each week from students notifying us that they will be absent because of positive covid tests or because of cold/flu symptoms. We do supply masks for those who wish to use them.

MILONGUERO MAGIC with Tomas Howlin* & Carol Horowitz
January 8th - 22nd, Wednesdays: 7:00 pm

Milonguero or Club style is characterised by small rhythmical movements danced in a closed frame. This style of dance arose in the very popular downtown clubs of Buenos Aires which were typically very small and crowded. Perfect steps for the most squishiest dance floors!
For intermediate and advanced dancers. Recommended pre-requisite: Tango 7 + Mini-Session Abrazo & Connection (or similar).
The 3 class series: 108$(includes taxes and free entry to the milonga), 3$ discount for payments via Interac to studiotango@gmail.com (with pw:tango)
Born and brought up in Buenos Aires, Tomás began dancing tango at a time when it was slowly resurfacing as a popular dance form. He was privileged to study with and assist some of the legendary tango teachers, many of whom are no longer with us today. His most influential teachers were Ernesto Pupi Castello, Jose Brahemcha, Gustavo Naveira, Graciela Gonzalez and Pepe Avellaneda. Tomas teaches at Studio Tango Montreal since the year 2000!
