A free beginner-friendly tango experience with a 60-minute guided class followed by a social.

**Come for the tango. Stay for the actual human connection.** ​When so much of our lives happens through screens, it can feel refreshing to slow down, look another person in the eyes, share a laugh, and simply be present together. ​**Tango for Belonging** is a free, beginner-friendly experience where we'll use the basics of tango to explore presence, listening, play, and meaningful human connection. ​We'll begin with a **60-minute guided class**, followed by a **social** where you're invited to practice what you've learned, continue connecting, or simply enjoy being part of the community. ​No partner or dance experience is needed. I'll guide you step by step, and you're always welcome to participate at the level of connection and movement that feels comfortable for you. ​And don't worry about getting everything right—we'll be **celebrating the mistakes together.** ❤️ What Our Community Is Saying ​“I went to the first one and really enjoyed it! Alice is a wonderfully intuitive teacher, and everyone I danced with and met seemed to have the shared goal of actual social connection.” ​— Lauren, Tango for Belonging attendee **What to Expect** During our 60-minute class, we'll begin with simple connection exercises before introducing some of the fundamentals of tango. Rather than focusing on complicated steps, we'll explore what tango can teach us about **listening, trust, communication, and navigating the unknown together.** ​After class, we'll open the floor for our **social**.
