This level is suitable for dancers who understand the basic level criteria and the underlying structure of tango. Although we will be working as couples the class is restricted to the same household or regular couples only.
The focus is on finding a connection within the embrace and how to incorporate musicality. Challenging tango combinations are taught and discussed. This level allows for the opportunity to deepen the expression of the dance, allowing your personal style to emerge through musicality and more complex adornments.

Tango Level 1.5
Push your tango a bit further. Tango level 1.5 is a combination of Movement sequences, Tango Vals and Tango Milonga.
The Sequences are some of the most common and usable sequences so that you are ready to go out and move with others without having to worry about knowing what to do.
In the Vals / Milonga Classes you will learn the way to dance to Vals & Milonga.
At a Tango Social event (also called a milonga) the music is divided into 3 types. Tango, Vals and Milonga (the musical style, not the social event…yes we know its confusing). Although Tango is the majority of the music played the other 2 styles are used every 4 or for tandas (groups of songs)
Tango Vals is a dance in groups of 3 like other valses however, in Tango Vals you will be using your Argentine Tango ideas to make it all happen.
Milonga is where tango started. It is a dance based in groups of 2 and is the ‘fun’ more folk style of tango.
Come and engage with our Tango Community in the comfort of the country!
Practice Tango dancing and enjoy socializing in a safe and welcoming environment.
Encourage newer dancers to get some mileage on the dancefloor so they gain confidence to attend Milongas with you all💯
Great venue with all facilities and an easy 90-minute drive from Melbourne CBD on the freeway – you can be home before you turn into a pumpkin at midnight😉
Cost $ 15 incl supper
The hall behind the Church – Free parking beside the main town hall next door.
This Milonga, run by Melbourne’s Marce Ospina and Renee Fieck, is a fun, safe space where you can extend your tango wings and experience the thrill of dancing any role you wish.
Marce and Renee will also be performing a special joint choreography inspired by the idea of combining changing roles with a progressive touch of stage tango.
