Frequently Asked Questions

1. I am a new student, where should I start?

If you have taken 3 tango classes or less, please start with 101 - Fundamentals. If you are familiar with rock steps, ochos, and the follower's cross, join us for 102 - Close Embrace.

2. Do I need a partner?

Nope! Many folks come alone and make friends as they learn tango! Parthers are welcome, but we will ask you to rotate throughout the class anyway to that you can meet everyone and practice your improvisational skills.

2. Do I need to register for the Drop-in class at the Eighteenth Street Lounge?

Nope! Just remember to bring photo ID. The Lounge is strictly a 21+ venue.

3. The 101 series has already started, should I wait for the next one?

You may join a currently running 101 class until week 3, especially if you have already attended the Drop-in class at the Lounge once or twice. From week 4 onward, please wait until the next session starts.

4. Do I need to register online or can I register in class?

We prefer online registration but yes, you may also register in class if there is still space available. Make checks payable to Tango Mercurio.

5. Do I need to register for a full series or can I just drop in whenever I like?

You may drop in to any class except 101. Drop-in rate: $18/90-minute class. We offer a 6-class card ($90) with no expiration date for our 200-level classes.

6. Can I make up classes if I registered for a series and missed one?

You may use make up credits for any class at the same level or lower, including the Tuesday drop-in class, within 30 days. Tell the instructor that you are using a make-up credit.

7. Do you offer a student discount?

Yes, for professional artists and full time students, our drop-in rate is $10 and registration/class cards are $60. Tuesday class or milonga is $5. Sign up for the program.
