What is the Tango Challenge experience?
The vision of the Tango Challenge is that beginners experience harmony with themselves, with others, and with the larger community in their first 2 years as Tango dancers.
Our mission is create a generative social field in which we cultivate the relationships that enable each cohort to become fully absorbed in the tango learning.
