Is the Tango Challenge right for you?
Maybe you’ve always had tango on your bucket list, and you could use some structure to get started.
Or you’ve taken a few classes, you love tango, and now you want to push past the “beginner” phase.
Or maybe you’re already comfortable in one dancing role, and you want to get serious about learning the other role.
This 12-week beginner immersion course has trained hundreds of tango dancers in L.A. and around the world. Now enrolling its 38th class, the Challenge provides a complete introduction to social tango dancing, with a structured curriculum, plenty of class and practice time, a network of dancing partners, and tons of support along the way. You’ll become a seasoned, well-rounded tango dancer, ready to enjoy this beautiful and rewarding dance for the rest of your life. The Challenge meets every Saturday for twelve weeks from 1-3pm at our main Inglewood location, and you’ll have three other opportunities each week to take classes, practice, or just dance. No partner required.
THE NEXT CHALLENGE STARTS SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 7TH 2024
The immersion
Though you’re only required to attend on Saturdays, we’re open 4 days a week, so how deep you go is really up to you. Whether you want to check out a new teacher, or just practice for an hour after dinner, you’ll have a ton of options, with locations in Inglewood and West L.A.
The personal attention
Twice a month you’ll have a 15-min private lesson with an Oxygen teacher. You’ll also be paired with a tango dancer with years of experience and meet together twice a month to learn the ropes at social events.
The friends
You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll go through the Challenge with a class of 6-10 other beginner dancers who are also tackling tango for the first time. You go to classes together, practice together, and go to your first tango events together.
The performance
The program culminates in a performance at the Graduation Ball, where you’ll show off your skills to your friends, and Challenge alumni.
The secret language
Tango is a secret language, spoken all over the world. How to ask for a dance, how to end a dance, how to lead that cool turn — they all have their own secret code, known only to tango dancers. After these three months of immersion you’ll be able to go to any tango event, anywhere in the world, and join in right away, because you’ll know this secret language too.
The history
The Tango Challenge is proven to work over more than ten years. Challenge graduates have gone on to become world-class dancers, teachers, and nationally-renowned DJs. When you join the Challenge, you will join this community, too.
