Workshops

Tango Cheshire runs regular workshops. These workshops are designed to enhance your connection to the floor, your connection to the music, and your connection to each other. Unless specified, our workshops are suitable for all levels (minimum 6 months experience) and are layered so that everybody develops no matter your experience.

Features of our workshops are:

• Followers are given equal focus to develop and learn. Followers are not "just there so the leaders can learn a move".
• In general, we look at topics that we do not teach in our regular classes.
• Our mixed level workshops are layered so that the material gets more challenging as the workshop progresses. This means everyone will develop and can practice the material that fits their experience level.
• We do not teach moves and sequences that only work with another person who attended the same workshop. We study ideas, technique, movements, and musicality that can be applied outside of the workshop.

Depending on the number of participants our workshops are held either in Prestbury Village Hall or at our Macclesfield studio.

Developing your Tango to the Next Level

Internal Ganchos (Workshop 2)

Experience level - Minimum 1 year and able to lead/follow all of the material from our Basic Technique course.

Our next workshop is on Sunday 8th March 2026. This is the second in a series of related workshops looking at internal ganchos. You can join the workshop without having attended the first workshop in the series as this looks at a different application. In these workshops we will investigate a typical socially safe gancho movement.

For leaders we develop and refine the skills and techniques to use spiral and grounding to invite safe hook movements.

For followers we develop the sensitivity to feel when an internal gancho is proposed and the skills to shape that opportunity for elegance and pleasure.

The workshop includes a natural break for refreshments.

We have our March Tea Dance after the workshop from 1pm to 5pm so stay to dance and practice your refined skills.
