DeutschWould you like to learn to dance Argentine tango, but have no experience yet? Or are you looking for a fun way to dance with others, meet new people and really experience the music? At TangoMJ in Landgraaf you are welcome to discover the world of Argentine tango.
Our tango lessons are for anyone who wants to learn to dance in a relaxed and personal way. You don’t need any experience and you don’t need to bring a dance partner. You can come on your own and practise with different people during the lessons.
Learning Argentine tango: more than just steps
Argentine tango is a social dance in which movement, music, connection and communication come together. It is not only about performing figures, but also about how you move together, how you walk and how you experience the music.
That is why at TangoMJ we pay a lot of attention to the foundations of tango. Step by step, you learn to move more consciously and develop the skills you need to dance with joy and confidence.
During the lessons we work on, among other things:
- Body awareness and sense of space: learning to feel how you move and how you relate to others on the dance floor.
- Posture and balance: developing a stable, relaxed posture.
- Walking and coordination: learning the characteristic tango walk and better coordinating your movements.
- The embrace and connection: learning how to move in contact with your dance partner.
- The social codes of tango: understanding how to take other dancers into account and how to move on a tango dance floor.
As you progress, we pay more attention to musicality, improvisation and applying what you learn when dancing socially.
Our goal is not only for you to learn tango steps, but ultimately to be able to dance independently and with pleasure at tango evenings and other social dance events.
Learning tango in a relaxed atmosphere, with attention to quality
What makes TangoMJ special is our connection with Buenos Aires, the city where Argentine tango is lived and danced every day. We learned tango there, and we know social tango not only from its technique, but also from its culture and practice.
We bring that experience into our lessons in Landgraaf. We think it is important to pass on both the technical skills and the cultural background of Argentine tango.
Our lessons have a relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time we take the quality of learning seriously. You get the space to progress at your own pace, while we help you further develop your technique, posture, musicality and dancing skills.
This way you learn not only how to dance tango, but also what makes this dance so special.
You can come on your own and dance with everyone
Do you think you first need to find a dance partner before you can start tango lessons? At TangoMJ that is not necessary.
Everyone is welcome, whether you come alone or with a partner. During the lessons we encourage participants to practise with different people. This way you learn to apply your dancing skills in different ways and develop a better feel for the connection with your dance partner.
We also encourage learning both dance roles. This gives you a broader understanding of the communication between dance partners, and you discover how both roles contribute to a good dance.
So you don’t need any previous dance experience. Curiosity, motivation and a willingness to learn are all you need to get started.
