We are delighted to have the Belfast Tango Society join us here at Maitri Studio this September for a new 6 weeks foundation course in the connection, music and movement of Argentine Tango.

Introducing Teresa & Michael Keenan, experienced dancers and teachers of Argentine Tango for over 20 years, they are passionate about both the art and the culture of the dance.

In the classes they focus on helping you move with purpose, presence, and freedom. 
You’ll explore the essential elements that form the core of tango: posture, embrace, communication through movement: and how to truly listen to the music -and your partner.  

Your Tango journey begins with a special evening on Friday 5th September 7.30pm. The course kicks off with a warm and relaxed “Meet & Greet” night, designed to ease you into the Tango world:

• A complimentary glass of wine or soft drink and light nibbles
• A welcoming introduction to the rich cultural roots of Argentine Tango
• A live demonstration of the three dances: 
  Tango, Milonga, and Vals
• A chance to meet your fellow dancers and get a feel for the space and vibe
• This evening is all about inspiration, community, and setting the tone for a fun, expressive learning experience.

Followed by a six week course, starting on Friday 12th September 8-9.15pm
