If you have questions take a look at our FAQ's page...it might answer them.  If not ask away we are happy to help!

The Monday Club, 37 South Maple Ave. ( Webster Groves )  Map and Driving Directions note: the facility looks like a house from the front but it is quite large and hosts a 2500 sq foot wood dance floor that is one of the best in the city!

August Tango Residency with master teacher Damian Lobato

Damian Lobato is one of the top tango dancers in the world working on the continuing development of this Argentine Tango dance we love. His ideas are fresh and amazingly simple.  He simply takes the old and makes it new again.  We know this sounds too simple to be true but trust us...one class and you will be hooked!  Whether you are just beginning (what a great way to get started) or have been taking classes for a while these classes will inspire and excite you to dance in ways you had not thought possible.

The classes are designed for 4 levels of dancers. Each class will develop one idea in terms of structure technique and musical interpretation. The ideas will provide a foundation for dancing tango applicable to all styles.
