Bar Room Tango* not Argentine
with Peter , all levels
Bar Room Tango is a melodramatic, exaggerated, joyful, smooth, exuberant, carefree, irreverent, improvised dance to tango music.
Easy to learn, quick to have fun.
Think of dramatic tango songs like:
Hernando’s Hideaway, Kiss of Fire, & Carmen’s Habanera
The compelling beats of tango music beckon us all to get up and dance…but do we dare?
This is not *Argentine or conventional Ballroom tango but – it is done to tango music and is designed to delight right away – through improvisation.

*Argentine Tango is the root of all types of tango which have evolved over time including the familiar American and International Ballroom, Finnish, Salon, Uruguayan, Apilado, Nuevo, and Show.
Tango emphasizes playful movement, intense expression, flair, and romance.
Bar Room Tango is an improvised light hearted fusion of Ballroom Tango + Swing + Blues.
It was developed for people who want to get up and dance to the captivating tango rhythms, but who may not yet have taken courses in any of the traditional tango steps and patterns.
People who have attended our Fusion Partner dancing events over many years know that along with rhythm dances, we teach people the fundamentals of improvising a partner dance, so that one can dance to any music right away.
Learning to improvise with a partner is the key !
Let’s dance more in ’24 !
Guaranteed to increase your fun quotient !
