What does the Tango Club Board do anyway?
The tango board is a group of tango enthusiasts who meet regularly to make the Tango Club events and classes happen.  We arrange for practice and lesson space, hire teachers, organize fundraisers, write grants applications and Tango FAQs,  etc.  You’ll see many of us out dancing at least once a week, helping out at the University practica, and with the beginner classes as well. 

The Tango Club is still fairly young, having been founded in 2004, and our goals include growing into a better organized and self-sustaining club that will get students out on the dance floor to discover what lured all of us board members to tango in the first place, and what keeps us coming back to the dance week after week.

I started learning Tango in September 2009, after much encouragement from a friend who has been doing the dance for years. It quickly got under my skin, and now I'm just enthralled. I love the improvisational and creative openness of the dance, along with its challenge and mythic history. No other partnered dance comes close to touching the possibilities that exist within the tango. Come and give it a try.

Hi everyone,  I started Argentine Tango in January 2008. I find that this dance is the most challenging and interesting dance I have ever taken. It requires a lot of patience but it is fun.
Try it for a semester; you might fall in love with it just like us!
