About

''I have learnt so much from classes with Dante. He really focuses on the abilities of the person he is dancing with, so can give you precise technical corrections but will also push your dancing further than you thought you were capable of.

The classes are a happy balance of working on details without forgetting how joyful dancing can be. His tango knowledge is huge and he encourages his students to dance and explore tango in a way that suits them as individuals. We are lucky to have such a great dancer and teacher based here!''
