A NOTE FROM ATLANTA TANGO SOCIAL

Atlanta has been waiting for a weekend exactly like this one.

When I built Atlanta Tango Social, I wanted to bring artists to the community who loved tango just as much as I do. To bring in instructors who teach with as much heart as they have skill. People who make beginners feel welcome and challenge advanced dancers in the same breath.

James and Dagny are exactly that. And I cannot wait to share this floor with you. 💃

YOUR INSTRUCTORS

James & Dagny

Two of the most sought-after voices in the national tango scene right now. Known for sharp musicality, generous teaching, and the kind of partnership that makes you rethink what a dance looks like.

Their workshops draw dancers from across the country. For three days in June, that floor is here in Atlanta.

"Watching them work is its own education."

The Breath Between Us: Breathing Life into Your Tango:

Breathing is something we do all day, yet few dancers consciously use it as a tool. Through a series of individual and partner exercises, we'll explore how breath can improve connection, balance, musicality, and ease of movement. Sometimes the simplest things create the biggest changes.
