We are so excited to announce that next Sunday 12th March, we will be holding our first ever Tango Ball in collaboration with Imperial Tango Society!

Noche de Tango will be a very special evening of non-stop dancing and a spectacular student performance! Dress up and join us for a glamorous evening celebrating the very best of university tango.

We are also honoured to have the amazing Ariel Yanovsky and Silvia Bivolaru teaching a class to start off the evening, 4:30-6pm.

If you are new to tango/ have never danced before, we will also be holding a beginners class at 4:30-6pm, and the ball is the perfect introduction to the tango scene!

This will be followed by a student performance at 7pm. Members of the UCL and Imperial Tango societies, most of them in their early stages of tango have been rehearsing non-stop over the past two months to prepare a show-stopping number for you all! Please come along and show them your support😆.

All Tango and Salsa society members receive a huge discount on tickets (£5 ball entry) or £7.50 for regular students! (Link in bio) Please follow the links below to purchase tickets.

So! After many questions and a tad of wait, here are the hours, locations & rules for the Tango tasters.
The first taster will be taking place in Lewis's building dance studio between 7 & 9pm on Monday the 11th of October. Come as you are (like Nirvana's second song on Spotify, Nevermind 4ever), as long as you are comfortable dancing with what you are wearing.
The second taster will take place from 7pm to 9pm on Monday the 18th of October, the room is still up for change (if the first room ever happens to not correspond to our needs). Same rules apply as taster n1.
Last rule: Have fun

TL;DR: 7 to 9pm Monday 11th First Fresher
Room: Lewis's building dance studio
Monday 18th Second Fresher, same time, potentially different room
Bring comfy shoes & NO T-REX COSTUMES

✨Dear lovely people,✨

The UCL Argentine Tango Society ho ho ho hopes you are all doing well, and would like to invite you to our online 2020 “Christmas and Hanukkah” social event! ❄️

If you don’t celebrate the two of them, please do not worry, some people in the committee don’t either. It’s more about getting together and have a fun night with friends! 😁

Also, if you are not (yet) part of the society.... well, we are sorry for you because you've missed one HECK of a semester! BUT it's never too late to join. Come to the online social, get to know everyone and you'll see why you have to join our regular tango lessons next term! 😛

On Tuesday the 22nd of December at 7pm English time, join us for a DELIGHTFUL and festive programme, to celebrate the end of this terrible year. You will be paired up with other members of the society, and will get to know everyone by the end of the night!

The programme:
1. A Xmas-Hannukah pop-quiz to test your historical, cultural and pop-culture references.
2. A contest of the “Best/ cheesiest end of the year Rom-Com scenario”. 👩‍💻

Put-on your most ridiculous Xmas or Hanukkah jumpers, and join the UCL Argentine Tango Society’s second social event.

Lots of love,
- The (really excited to see everyone) committee of UCL Argentine Tango Society. ❤️

PS: The link will be posted as we get closer to the event. If you have any further questions, please send us a message xx
