A message to members from Doni & renee
We are excited to have you as a member to Tango Melbourne. It is our goal to share our love of Tango and movement with you. We are always looking to improve the experience for our members and as such we invite feedback and communication. Here are some thoughts on how we approach both movement and teaching.
We are social tango dancers.
All Tango Melbourne teachers love dancing tango socially! Our teachers are all regulars on the Melbourne social tango scene, commonly dancing 4 - 5 nights every week. Tango Melbourne not only runs events in the Melbourne tango scene but we attend every event we can to support anyone trying to be part of this amazing art form. Our teachers believe that we are so lucky to do what we love and if you go social dancing tango anywhere in Melbourne on any night of the week most likely you have seen more than one of us dancing tango social or even possibly performing.
We are proud of our standards.
Tango Melbourne teachers pride ourselves on producing arguably the best social tango dancers in Australia, but more importantly contributing the most amount of New dancers to the Melbourne Tango scene. We love to see you out dancing! Our obsession with tango constantly drives us improve. Our study of cutting edge of educational theory and methodology, bio mechanics, communication, and psychology places beyond the general tango educator. Most importantly allows us to create an easy and fun approach to tango that is unique and very effective. All of this is why Tango Melbourne successfully conduct seminars on our teaching methodology to tango schools throughout the world.
"It is the easiest from one perspective you just need to be able to walk ... but its also the deepest."
