A PLANNED INTERVIEW SERIES
Special Focus On…
Meet the people behind London's Argentine Tango schools, in their own words.
Each participating school will answer the same questions, introduce its teachers and share an optional short sequence to try. A chance to get a feel for their teaching before choosing a class.
Interviews and teaser lessons coming laterThe conversation we want to have
- Who are you, and what brought you to Argentine Tango?
- What teaching experience or training has shaped your approach?
- What matters most to you when teaching a class?
- What can someone expect on their first visit, including coming without a partner?
- How do you support connection, consent and community at your school?
- What would you like dancers to explore in your short lesson?
School-approved interviews and lessons will appear here when available.
