Partnering in Workshops

In the spirit of tango, in all workshops there will be a policy of swapping partners. Within this, those who book in couples will be given as much opportunity as possible to practice together.

While it is possible for leaders and followers to book classes separately, we will operate a policy of not allowing more than three unmatched leaders or followers at any one time. This may mean a reserve list operating for any class.

Classes will start promptly. Please arrive in plenty of time. All workshops will be limited to 16 couples.
