TANGO EVENTS

Tango Classes are held every Friday at Stompin's Dance Studio at the Quadrant Mall in Launceston from 6:30 to 8:00PM for Beginners #1. These classes are aimed for beginners but if you have some experience you should come to the Practilonga Class from 8:00 till 9.00. Milongas 9.00 to 12.00. Dancing partner is not essential as dancing with different people is encouraged in order to get exposed to different dancers and styles. For further information, please contact the Cambalache Tango Club directly.

Tango Milongas are held at at different venues on a weekly and monthly basis. We normally have Tango each Friday evening from 9:00pm at Stompin's Dance Studio. Milongas are normally formal tango gatherings where people go and enjoy the music, dance and social interactions with others so we do suggest to keep the milonga etiquette as a  general rule. People can also bring a plate/drinks to share. For further information, please contact the Cambalache Tango Club or keep checking the news section above.

Tango Practicas are held on summer time only. We meet every Sunday between 2:00 and 5:00 at the Launceston City Park's rotunda, entrance via Tamar Street all within the Launceston CBD area. So if you feel like you need a refresher or you are suffering withdrawn symptoms due to Tango addiction problems!, all you have to do is turn up to the rotunda (no bookings required). Check our recent newsletter for times/dates or send us an email and we'll let you know!
