Argentine Tango Classes in Sacramento
Now that Sacramento has moved to the red tier, we are open for limited-size group classes and milongas with the following restrictions:
-
A maximum of 8 couples at any one time, for a milonga or a class.
-
Couples only -- couples must register together and dance together; switching partners is prohibited.
-
Masks are required.
-
Our limited capacity means that patrons must register on our website in advance so that we can limit the number of guests. Walk-ins will not be allowed. This applies to both classes and milongas.
Beginning Tango
Our Beginning Tango Classes will resume on Mondays, starting April 5, 2021, from 6:30-7:30 pm, followed by a half hour practica. This series of classes is designed for those who are new to tango. Learn the fundamentals of Argentine Tango: the elements of the tango embrace and posture, and moving with a partner in simple steps, focusing on musicality and connection. Cost is $90 per couple for the month (normally a four-week series starting on the first Monday of each month) or $30 drop-in per couple per class. Currently, these classes are for couples only as we are not rotating partners in class. Click here to sign up now and ensure your space in class!

Tango is so much more than some moves or steps. Tango is connection: connection with your partner, with the music, with the floor itself, and with the other dancers on the floor. In this rather sterile world we live in (where an accidental touch often results in an apology), Tango connects us. At Tango by the River, we delight in this connection. We dance and teach close embrace tango ... and we invite you to step in, get close, and get connected. We invite you to Tango ...
