Beginners Classes:
The Studio is now closed for the Summer, and resumes in September, when dedicated Beginners classes will be on Mondays: the doors will open at 7.15 for enrolment, the Classes will start at 7.30 and cost £10.00 per person.
When you start you will have to enrol for the Beginners Course of four classes, so your initial payment will be £40.00. It is preferred that you take these classes on four consecutive Mondays, or at other classes, so that you do not forget any of the steps,but if necessary they can be spread out over a longer period, for a maximum of two months.
Beginners are also welcome at the Thursday Mixed ability class.

Intensive Introduction to the Tango:
Our Intensive Introduction workshop usually takes place on the first Sunday of the month, but as Las Estrellas is closed for the summer the next class will be on Sunday 5th October.
The Workshops run from 4.00 – 8.00pm (with a free glass of wine at 6.00pm), and cost £30, payable in advance. They provide a comprehensive introduction to the Argentine Tango, and are the ideal starting point for learning this wonderful and intimate dance. Following the Intensive Class you should continue to develop your skills at the ongoing beginners classes on Mondays and Thursdays.
Places are limited so you must book in advance. We have a lot of interest in these workshops, and they are always fully booked by the due date. Please note that we can only give refunds for missed classes if we get at least 48 hours notice of cancellation. Please email us or call Simon on 020 7221 9535 to make your reservation and pay the course fee.
Private Classes:
Private classes with Takis are suitable for both beginners and for those wishing to improve their technique, as they are a much more personal and intensive class. They cost £30 per hour for one person, or £50 per hour for a couple. Private classes will be available in the afternoon and evening on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons (after 4.00pm) when the school re-opens in September.
