Tango as it is popularly known, it is understood as a dance of passion and sensuality; but there are aspects to it that are hardly explored, and that show you how rich and and deep this dance can be, and how much it can do to improve people's lives. Some of these aspects are:
- Helps create social links
- Improves
body awareness, motor skills and coordination
- Develops
musicality
- Increases self-esteem
- Encourages communication
- It
allows to carry out a non-aggressive physical activity for the body, enabling
people of all ages to practice it
- In
addition, studies have demonstrated that the Tango as a physical activity
helps prevent cardiovascular disease
In 2009, Argentine Tango has been included by UNESCO in the Intangible
Cultural Heritage list, and through that, and the popularity that nowadays
ballroom dancing has, we believe it is the ideal time to bring this dance into
the lives of everyone who might be interested in learning a new skill that is
not only physical but also inherently social.
We are both professional dancers and teachers with many years of experience, teaching at different levels and in various locations around the world, and know not only the then about responsibility behind proper group management when teaching and/or performing, but also how to transmit the many good qualities that this dance has, which be applied to many fields outside of tha dance alone.
On the other
side, we are people who are passionate about tango, and have seen what
this dance can communicate to people; ourselves have experienced that feeling,
and still do at every opportunity we have.
In this blog we are including some of the different packs that we are offering at the moment,. We hope that you find one that captures your interest!

Private lessons
Private lessons are thought for those who want to start to learn this dance, but want to feel more secure before starting group lessons, or for those who already dance but prefer to have their skills polished on an individual level.
They can only be scheduled in advance, and with location to be determined by both parties (teacher and student)
Duration: 60 minutes
Group lessons
Group lessons are they way in which most people start learning tango, not only it allows them to progress quicker in their learning by having a regular class every week (it helps them build up their dancing skills), but also because it is a way to meet others and enjoy themselves in a group.
In group lessons the emphasis is done not only on the dance steps, but also in the musicality and in the communication between dancing partners.
Group lessons are held weekly,on a fixed location. No pre-booking neccesary, although it is reccomended to be as (constant) as possible, since that helps both the person and the class to advance steadily on their learning, therefore making the experience more pleasant.
Duration: 75 minutes
At the present moment we are teaching group lessons at RADA Studios, 18 Chenies Street WC1E 7PA; for more information about current group lessons or workshops, check our Calendar: http://chrisnaylatango-calendar.blogspot.co.uk/

Workshops are usually in the same location as the group lessons, and pre booking is mandatory.
