We are pleased to announce our
Argentine Tango Taster Day for Absolute Beginners
Saturday 9th May 2026
9am – 5pm
@
The Perranwell Centre, School Hill, Perranwell Station,
Truro, TR3 7JU
Join your hosts, Bea & Lee, for this special opportunity to immerse yourself
in the wonderful world of Argentine Tango. Under their skilful guidance
you will learn the fundamentals on which to build your ability and enjoyment
of this passionate, improvisational dance.
Experience with your Partner the close embrace, intimate connection and synchronized movements
that make this genre so captivating and exciting.
The day will be carefully structured, focusing on posture, technique and musicality.
You won’t just learn steps: you’ll get the whole experience!
Your day will be divided into 2 halves with a lunch break in between
– don’t forget your packed lunch!
In the morning you’ll be introduced to Argentine Tango Vals (Waltz). A light and lyrical progressive dance (moving around the dancefloor in an anti-clockwise direction). It features continuous flowing movements to cheerful, fast tempo music.
The afternoon will be dedicated to Salon Tango. Smooth and elegant.
This style of Tango is danced in your own space: just as it was in the backstreet bars of Buenos Aires!
Please note:
- Absolute Beginners – No experience required
- We will not ask you to swap Partners.
- This Taster Day is for adults only
- Couples only – You will need to enrol with a Partner.

Useful Information
The following information is to help you make the most of your
Argentine Tango Taster Day with idodance.
Our most frequently asked question is:
‘Do we swap partners during a day?’
We’d like to put your minds at rest by assuring you that we do not move you from partner to partner. From our experience and feedback, couples want to stay together throughout the day.
What’s the aim of the taster Day?
Well, to introduce you to the wonderful world of Argentine Tango! And for you to experience our style of teaching. We pay particular attention to the ‘basics’: posture, the embrace, connection, footwork & technique. We lay down solid foundations for you to build on! It’s a long day and we appreciate you will have a lot to take in! So, we’ll keep the steps simple and work on you dancing them well.
Feel free to ask questions, or for our help, at any time:
Bea & Lee will be on hand throughout the day.
To comply with the regulations laid down by the Association that we belong to, we respectfully ask that you do not video or take photographs during the classes. We have prepared a video for you, covering what you will learn during the day, that we will send at the end of the day.
Please wear comfortable shoes, ideally not a trainer with a rubber sole as your feet could ‘stick’ to the floor. Heel height should be whatever you would wear out socially. We suggest bringing an additional pair(s), in order to find the most suitable or to change if your feet get tired!
Comfortable clothing is the order of the day in layers, then you can put on and take off as and when needs be.
Do bring a notebook and pen, if you wish to take notes.
Don’t forget your packed lunch.
