This is a luscious opportunity for all who want to immerse themselves in Tango, no matter what level you are at. People from near and far will use these days to take part in the classes and develop their dancing through practice.

A Tango Mango provides a learning environment where you dance for hours on end at cut cost price, to explore Tango for yourself in a supportive environment. We shall dance from 10am until 11.30pm every day, pausing only for classes between 4.45pm - 7:00 pm every day. (Please scroll down for the small print)

There is an opportunity to take private lessons in the morning.

B&B's via the school:
