Tango classes for beginners & recent beginners
Take your first tango steps with us
We are the longest-established tango school in Kent. We have been teaching tango in Canterbury for fifteen years (since 2004), and have taught hundreds of people to dance. We are the only couple in Kent who dance and teach all styles of contemporary, authentic tango. We are renowned for the quality of our tuition, innovative teaching methods and the breadth of our dancing and teaching.
Our weekly Beginners class is suitable for absolute beginners, recent beginners and nervous returners. We cover the fundamental principles of authentic, contemporary Argentine tango. Our classes are focused, structured and progressive, friendly and non-intimidating. You can be confident of the very best start to your tango journey.
The class is also ideal for improvers who wish to revise the basic principles of tango.

Beginners classes are organised into five- or six- week courses. Courses are usually preceded by a 'taster session' at which you can try out the tango and see whether you would like to sign up for the next complete course. Classes take place on Tuesday evenings, 7.15-8.30pm (includes some free practice time) in Canterbury at: Dance Studio @ Sports Centre, Canterbury College, New Dover Road, Canterbury CT1 3AJ. Each class includes both tuition and practice time. Taster sessions are usually £15pp for 2 hours (this varies). Each course is five or six weeks, at £45/£54 per person (discounted rate) respectively. The five- or six-week course must be booked and paid for in advance. Booking your place |

Your teachers
This class is taught by Jon and Sue.
Sue has been with ATSE since its inception in 2004. She is an experienced tanguera with the high level of conceptual and technical knowledge for which ATSE is renowned, and a warm, friendly and supportive teacher.
Moreover, she is particularly suited to enabling both leaders and followers to begin their tango journey, since she is not only an impressive follower but also an outstanding leader, able to switch roles instantly to help every member of the class, hands-on.
