Group classes
WeeklyFundamentals in a room full of people doing the same thing for the first time. Partners rotate, so come alone or bring someone.
Class timesYou do not need a partner. You do not need experience. You need one night — your first, or your next.
Traditional close-embrace Argentine tango with Maestro Jon Tariq, in New York City. Begin from your very first step, or go deeper into the dance you already know.
New here? Come alone. Partners rotate in every group class, and you will be dancing something recognisable by the end of your first hour.
Three ways to start
Most people begin with a group class and stay for the milonga afterwards.

Taught by Maestro Jon Tariq
Jon has been teaching, choreographing, and performing Argentine tango since 2007 — at Lincoln Center, the 92nd Street Y, and the Starlight Roof Ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria, and at festivals in Japan, Korea, and across Europe.
He is one of very few teachers in New York who specialise in traditional close embrace, across all three dances: tango, milonga, and vals. His philosophy is that technique is the grammar that holds the language of the dance together.
