Glasgow Tango Studio: El Abrazo Tango Club

Tonight’s El Abrazo Tango Club hosts a taster class of Argentine Tango for total beginners, followed by a talk which reveals some historical facts and lesser-known cultural details to demonstrate how this wonderful music and dance has come to be enjoyed globally in the 21st century. The talk by Glasgow Tango Studio’s co-founder, professional dance teacher and performer Sari Lievonen, is suitable for non-dancers as well as those already having begun their tango journey.

After the talk, the evening is completed with two hours of social dancing in the Milonga with DJ Jeff Allan. El Abrazo Tango Club is a relaxed and enjoyable evening of Argentine Tango with good floor craft. The music played in tandas ranges from golden era tangoes, milongas and tango-valses to contemporary arrangements of traditional tunes including possibly tango nuevo or alternative pieces of music. We encourage good floor craft and use of good old Mirada and Cabeceo.
