Brisbane House of Tango (Toowong)

A very welcoming place to learn tango and make new friends. The teachers are friendly and attentive making your learning journey through tango always a pleasure.

Great lessons with amazing teachers. I have rarely come across so much love for details in regards to steps, lead and following, which makes the journey to become a Tango dancer exciting and so much fun! Highly recommended!!!!

If you are looking to learn Argentine tango I strongly recommend you try out Brisbane House of Tango. The teacher, David, is a master at tango dancing and a wonderful teacher.Unlike other group dance classes where often the teacher will demonstrate a move with some instructions and then you're left trying to mimic it as best as possible with little/no feedback, David takes the time to provide individual/tailored feedback to everyone in his class, and focuses on the technique and minutiae of each move. He provides positive and constructive feedback, and if you don't understand what he means he will explain it in a different way. I walk out of every class feeling like I've learned so much.And although David takes tango and teaching seriously, the classes aren't intense or sombre, they're lots of fun and I always have a laugh. 10 out of 10, would recommend.

David teaches at a pace that allows you to understand the technique involved in the dance pattern rather than just demonstrating the movement and you trying to follow which happens in many large classes.

David is a natural teacher. Every student in the class gets personal time on everything he teaches. His ability to break the dance down to the smallest technical detail is incredible.Just as importantly, David makes it fun along the way too.Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned dancer , a follower or a leader, I highly recommend David as your Tango teacher.

We have been learning Tango with David at the Brisbane House of Tango for 18 months. Initially I was quite nervous and lacked confidence as I had no previous dancing skills or experience. David makes the classes easy and I always feel that I am learning something. Dancing has certainly improved my balance and it is a fun way to exercise. This year we have been dancing two nights each week and enjoying milongas (dances) when possible. Recently we were in Europe and danced in four different cities. That was quite a thrill as we might not be able to talk with the other participants but we could dance with them. Tango is an activity that you never master but it is enjoyable and a challenge. David is able to organise the classes around the ability of the dancers so that everyone keeps progressing. You also meet a variety of different people who are great company.

Dave and Anita are the most professional dance teachers I've had the privilege to learn from. They create a very welcoming environment and teach to the level you are at. Whatever level you are at, they are very good teachers who understand the importance of connection in dance and communication.
