THIS SUNDAY: DARIO & ROCIO ARE BACK — WELCOME MILONGA & SHOW! 💃🕺
They’re back from Buenos Aires! ❤️ This Sunday 13 September, we welcome Dario Cieri & Rocio de la Torre back to Tanguito for the beginning of their September residency — with classes, a special workshop, dancing and, of course, a SHOW at Los Angelitos!
Dario & Rocio have become firm favourites with our London dancers: wonderfully warm and generous teachers, with a precise, elegant technique, a beautifully connected embrace and a very hands-on approach to helping everyone improve. They are Tango World Championship semi-finalists and Tango2Cup champions, and have taught and performed at some of Buenos Aires’ best-known milongas.
And we have a fabulous programme to welcome them back:
🕑 2PM — BEGINNERS & IMPROVERS: FLOORCRAFT & DANCING TANGO
We start with one of the things that really transforms your social dancing: floorcraft and changes of direction. How do you actually dance your tango when there are other couples around you? How do you change direction, navigate comfortably and keep your dance flowing? Practical, useful tango that you can immediately take onto the dance floor.
🔥 3PM — INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED: FABULOUS BOLEOS FOR SOCIAL TANGO
Boleo lovers, this one is for you! Rather than huge theatrical boleos that need half the dance floor, Dario & Rocio will explore precise, controlled and functional boleos designed for social tango.
We’ll work on control, elasticity and quality of movement, and on incorporating boleos naturally into the dance while maintaining connection and flow. Beautiful tango — but also tango you can actually dance at a milonga. 90-minute workshop. Unmissable!
🎉 4.30–7.30PM — WELCOME MILONGA LOS ANGELITOS + SHOW!
Then it’s time to forget about learning and simply DANCE! We’re welcoming Dario & Rocio properly with an afternoon of tango at Los Angelitos, cake & drinks, music from TDJ Dario & TDJ Rocks, and the highlight of the afternoon: a special SHOW from Dario & Rocio.
If you haven’t seen them dance before, this is your chance. And if you already know them… you probably don’t need convincing. ❤️

- A yearly curriculum which you can join at any time and original teaching tools such as our youtube class summary videos.
- Structured lessons to help you intuitively grasp the concepts we cover.
- The perfect mix between essential technique and creative exploration of tango dancing.
- Discovery of tango culture and music, a passionate and fascinating universe in itself.
- No need to bring a partner.
- The study of different energies, steps and concepts to help you create your own choreographies.
- You can drop by any time – there is no “first” and “last” class, there are all independent although we recommend you come regularly to make the most of our structured curriculum.
Our approach to teaching
We teach with an original technique using modern tools to produce happy, shiny, dancy people. Our group and private lessons are fun, relaxed and structured to make you progress quickly, regardless of your previous dance experience. Ultimately, we want you to become great to watch, and even greater to dance with.
We focus on helping you build your own sequences of steps, so that you learn to dance to the music and develop your tango ‘self’ inside out:
- Self awareness: couple dancing starts with both partners having a good awareness of their own body positioning. In class, we will solidify your tango technique, including posture and walking.
- Connection: dancing tango is like having a wordless conversation with your partner. In our intermediate classes, we delve into different embraces and various energies and concepts to establish an efficient and smooth communication with your partner through the art of leading & following.
- Expression: in class, we study different techniques and energies and help you link steps up together yourself to create your own choreographies. We also hold regular “musicality” classes, where we look at various ways of interpreting the music and varying rhythms. You will soon feel that you are able to “play” with the music. We don’t believe in teaching routines and will instead help you develop your tango creativity.
- Authenticity: we simply love tango music and history and have been told our passion is contagious. In all our classes, we introduce a new orchestra every 2 months so that you get you used to different rhythms. We also translate songs – it is always a bonus to dance on a song when you understand whether to laugh or to cry. We also give tips about how to best enjoy milongas, these atmospheric tango parties where everything comes together like magic.
- Space management: We’ll work on developing your spacial awareness to help you dance in tune with the room and easily manage the line of dance. That’s the best way to make you “milonga-ready”!
