Monthly Workshops: If you love Tango, this is your opportunity to dive deeper into the dance we all love. Over 5 monthly workshops, we’ll explore the foundations that make Tango feel comfortable, musical, connected and truly yours.
No complicated sequences. No choreography to memorise. Just practical tools you can take straight to the dance floor.
And we start next Saturday, so there isn’t much time!
Where: 327 Swan St, Richmond
When Saturdays • 3pm–5pm
20 June – The Art of Walking
18 July – The Tango Embrace
15 August – Musicality Made Simple
19 September – Turns & Pivots
10 October – Improvisation & Creativity
5-Workshop Package – $150
Casual Workshop – $35
You can join the full journey or simply attend the workshops that interest you most. All levels welcome. My goal isn’t to teach you what to dance. My goal is to help you create your own dance. Places are limited. Send me a message to reserve your spot.
Most Saturdays of the month ( except when there is a milonga)
Connect-Collaborate-Practice-Dance
The idea behind this practica:
We want to invite you to bring an intention to this space – something you’d like to work on. Whether developing fluidity in that butterfly boleo, or working on your walk…
I’d like you to come to practice and collaborate with your peers.
Who knows – you might have a way of explaining x move that the person next to you has been struggling with in such a way that helps it ‘click’ in their mind. And vice versa – they may have a gem or two to offer to you. Of course, if you want to dance, that is welcome, too
On Saturday
3-6 pm
$10/ $5 with student ID card
It is air-conditioned, has plenty of parking, and is accessible by public transport.
Please stay tuned for our future events by liking and following us on Facebook. We look forward to your active participation and contribution at our next practica.

– Do you feel intimidated or uncomfortable when you go to a Milonga (Tango Social Dance)?
Don’t worry, because a lot of Tango students, and also Tango dancers who have been dancing for a while now, still find it daunting and challenging to decide when is the right time to go for a Milonga (Tango Social Dance).
Why? The reason is that to be in an environment that is not familiar and many times (SADLY), no very welcoming, doesn’t help us to enjoy what we really want to do… …To dance Tango!
Now we are ready to change the game! Every last Sunday of the month ‘Showy Dance Melbourne’ will host monthly PRACTILONGA!
What is OUR SDM PRACTILONGA? It’s a place where we create a relaxed Tango gathering that combines the learning atmosphere of a Práctica with the social feeling of a Milonga.
Just great moments of Tango dancing within a respectful atmosphere. A place where everyone can dance with everyone, without ANY Judgement.
Dancers can practice, experiment, ask questions, and also enjoy social dancing in an informal environment. When: Starting on Sunday the 31st of May. Time: From 1 pm to 5 pm:
– 1 pm: Tango class: This class will be Open Level: special for those who want to brush up their Tango skills and improve their Tango knowledge or simply warm up.
– 2 pm to 5pm: PRACTILONGA: Time for Tango Social dancing. When you arrive, we will explain our Tango dancing code of courtesy. If you are one of our Tango students or has been in our “Showy Dance Melbourne” Tango classes you already know how we behave at SDM. (Very friendly)
Amenities: – Complimentary coffee, tea & biscuits provided. – Glass of wine & beer at bar prices (really affordable)
Join us in creating a place where we can go for a Tango dance and just enjoy the process!
Venue: Showy Dance Melbourne 322 Sydney Road, Coburg. Cost: Class + Practilonga: $30.- Practilonga: 2 pm to 5 pm: $25.-
Write on your agenda: Sunday 31st of May 2026 From 1 pm to 5 pm. “SDM Practilonga” See you on the Tango dance floor! Nos vemos!
