urban tango nights
Swansea
Urban Tango Nights is an Argentine Tango club based in Swansea, South Wales, UK
Our aim is to promote all forms of tango from Canyengue to Fusion, Salon to
Nuevo, Alternative to Experimental and generally have fun along the way. As
Tango is widely considered to be a social dance we believe that enjoyment should
be first and foremost. We actively encourage experimentation and the development
of personal style as well as understanding the history of the dance. We believe
there are no rules in Tango (except general good manners). We do not encourage
the use of the cabaceo, but instead encourage people to talk to each other as
you would in any other social dance. We also encourage women to ask men to
dance. Tango can be danced to any music and we find this allows for full
expression of the freedom of the art form and we do not usually use tandas or
cortinas. We also believe that there is no such thing as beginners or advanced
dancers in tango there is only those who know how to do a step and therefore
need to practice and develop that step, and those who need to learn the step.
