Contact Tango — Argentine Tango in Tivat, Montenegro

Argentine tango on the Adriatic

Tivat · Porto Montenegro · since 2008

Your first class is on us Thursday Practilonga

Our belief

Tango is not only a dance. It is a way of life.

From seven to seventy, anyone who feels a rhythm in their heart can dance tango. Most people who say “I have no talent” have simply never tried. Give yourself the chance — and bring a new personal, cultural and artistic colour into your life.

First class

The first class is on us.

Come meet us, the music and the embrace — then decide if you want to continue. Beyond your first steps, it is a lesson in posture, body awareness and standing well, useful long after you leave the floor. No partner needed.

Classes

Learn the embrace,
properly.

Every class is built on correct technique, musicality and tango culture — taught by a former State Opera & Ballet dancer and a Buenos Aires–trained artistic director.

Group classes

Structured levels from first steps to advanced. Posture, walk, embrace, then figures and musical interpretation.

All levels · no partner needed

Private lessons

One-to-one or for couples. The fastest way to progress — or to prepare a wedding dance or a stage piece.

By appointment

Stretching & Condition

Gymnastics-based flexibility and conditioning for dancers — and for anyone who wants a stronger, freer body.
