Welcome to Tango Mercurio
Mercury is an ancient symbol of connection. We find this resonates with our experience of the tango embrace, in which two partners become one with a movement language that transcends boundaries of class, ethnicity, and generation.
As people feel more connected, they are inspired to influence their communities in creative and meaningful ways. Tango Mercurio aims to facilitate this process, presenting the creative tango tradition as a way for individuals to find balance in their lives and discover the unique contributions they have to make in the world. We look forward to sharing our work with you.

Every Sunday - New Dancer's Practica!
This practica is a great way to gain confidence and iron out any persistent kinks with the guidence of the Tango Mercurio teaching team. New dancers are especially welcome and encouraged to come and get used to social dancing and build up the confidence and competence for attending the DC milongas. This practica is also a great way for experienced dancers to work on their skills for a couple of hours, or for leading women/following men to do focused work on understanding the "other" role. Held every Sunday from 6-8pm at Sport & Health Northwest, 4001 Brandywine Street, NW (Metro: Tenleytown).
