Thomas

Profile image

Thomas’ dance style is of the salons in Buenos Aires: smooth movement of the embracing couple across the floor. His teaching enables you to join a Milonga with confidence. The Tango is demystified and subtleties are explained in detail, using geometry and physics of movement. Important areas are communication between the dancers in the embrace, good, clear and accurate leading, musicality and the improvisation with steps, music and floorcraft. Thomas learned Tango in Berlin in 1997 and has taught and organised events and communities, in Ireland and UK, since 2000. He founded Tango Note in Bristol in 2007.

General Information
...about Tango, classes and events

Argentine Tango is a couple dance originating from Argentina around 100 years ago. It is danced socially, not competitively. The emphasis is to connect with your partner and with the music, moving around floor in an improvised and responsive way. Dancing Tango is a walking dialogue between two people for the duration of a few songs.

If you are new to Tango, we recommend Thomas & Yanna Wednesdays class.

Classes have no pre-booking: just drop-in. Workshops and courses will need pre-booking. A partner is not essential, but bring someone if you can (we encourage changing partners in class). Wear suitable shoes (eg dance shoes with leather soles or similar). Ideally the shoes should not be too grippy on the floor, but allow you to turn. Wear comfortable clothes; Tango is a walking dance, so it is not hot and strenuous. Loyalty cards may not be accepted at all classes (eg if class bookings via the venue). Please respect floorcraft. We can't take responsibility for: lost/stolen items, your health and safety. Big hair: best tied/held back, so it's away from your partner's face.
