Answers to the questions you ask us most often!

Can I sign up without a dance partner?

Yes, you can sign up on your own. Based on the requests we receive and on the students’ needs (dance experience, available times, etc.) we will try to organize each class with an even number of leaders and followers. If the balance works out, your registration is confirmed; otherwise you will be temporarily placed on a waiting list.
Do I always dance with the same partner in class?
How are the courses structured?

Our courses last one term. Each term includes 12 lessons, one a week, organized by level according to the schedule published on the website, where you will also find all the dates. At the end of each term you can sign up for the next one, for a total of three terms, from September to the end of June.
Can I only pay by bank transfer?
Should I let you know if I miss a class?
Can I also send an email for last-minute communications?
What should I wear? What shoes should I use?
Where can I buy tango shoes?

If you decide to keep dancing, you may consider buying a pair of professional tango shoes. They are excellent in every respect (support and comfort, looks, practicality) but they are expensive: about 150 euros a pair. There are no specialized shops in Milan; the existing ones sell generic dance shoes. “Pro” tango shoes can be bought from a few specialized sellers who usually exhibit at milongas, festivals and events. If you like, we can put you in touch with some of them and recommend a few brands. Shoes can also be bought online, but we don’t recommend it, especially for your first pair.
Can I take a private lesson?
Do you organize other activities besides classes?

Besides the regular courses, once a month we organize a Practice day, usually on Sunday afternoon. It is a chance to dance all together, try out steps, meet the other students and have a chat. The teachers are there to answer your questions or give you a hand. The Practice is often preceded by thematic Workshops, which you can sign up for each time according to your level and the topic.
We also often go out to milongas together or take part in events. These outings are coordinated in the students’ WhatsApp chat.
How can I keep in touch with my classmates and the other students, and stay updated on activities?

We have created two WhatsApp chats for Tango Touch students and friends.
You can ask to be added by emailing us the phone number you want to join with.
The Tango Touch – CHAT is for students enrolled in the courses. We use it to coordinate activities and share teaching material, but also to arrange to go dancing or just to chat. Everyone can write in this chat, but please keep messages to a minimum so that it stays manageable.
In the Tango Touch – PLIN PLON chat, which also includes other dancers, only the Staff writes: quick reminders and notices about all ongoing activities, so that they don’t get lost in the flow.
Please also remember that all the main communications are sent by newsletter as well: make sure it doesn’t end up in your spam folder!
I have read all the information but I still need to call you. How can I do that?
