Classes

Part of TangoHelena's mission is to sponsor and offer classes to the Helena community. We have a team of instructors who teach classes regularly, and we also bring in guest instructors.

See the calendar or the links at the bottom of the pages for specific upcoming classes. All of our classes and practicas are held at the YWCA at 501 N. Park Ave in Helena. (Stay tuned, we're looking for a new location to hold classes.) Friends of TangoHelena receive a $1 discount on every class, practica, and milonga! See the Fee Schedule.

Our instructors also teach private tango classes to individuals and couples.  Private classes are tailor-made to the student's needs, and offer focused attention on whatever aspects of the dance you want to work on.  You can take a private class with either a leader or a follower instructor.  You can do just one such class, or a series of them.  Talk to any of the instructors with further questions, or to set up a class:

Grace Hodges:   grace@mt.net or 449-5541
