FAQ
1) What do I wear?
Wear something that you are comfortable moving in. We're mostly students, so it's a very casual environment.
2) Shoes?
If you have shoes that have soft soles (suede, etc) they are IDEAL for tango. You want a smooth surface on the bottom of your shoes. DO NOT feel like you have to go out and buy special shoes for tango. Socks are really good too! Be sure, however, that you wear (if possible) shoes that will not "come off." Ankle straps for heels, no flip flops, etc.
3) When do I pay?
Membership due is due on the second lesson in the semester.
4) Do I need a partner?
Absolutely not! We rotate partners often and there is usually a good ratio of girls to guys. Just bring yourself!
Welcome Dancers!
The Argentine
Tango Club, or Utango, promotes Argentine culture and dance
specifically geared towards the University of Minnesota community.
Utango was founded in the Spring of 2004, and since then we have held
weekly classes, sponsored guest instructors from Minneapolis and
beyond, and hosted social dance events.

Do you
want to get involved with
the club?
If tango is your dance, and you would like to help out in some way, feel free to email us (utango@umn.edu) to inquire about board meetings, and we’ll likely be able to find a way for you to help out. Many of our current board members will be leaving at the end of the year, so we need a new generation of tango addicts to help take the helm. It’s fun and rewarding, we promise!
