(For Information on the February Mango, please click here)

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. The dance floor is open 12 hours a day, pausing only for classes between 4.45pm - 7:00 pm.

Please note: This particular Tango Mango is special in insofar as all income will go towards funding the building project of the Steiner School.
