We select teachers & DJs who inspire
We select teachers who deliver inspiring workshops and perform dazzling cabarets. But just as important, teachers who love their dancing and get out on the social dance floor with all of you.

We select DJs who love creating the perfect atmosphere during the evening dances. With these DJs on board, you'll get the ideal mix enabling you to practice what you've learnt in the workshops as well as dancing to your favourite tunes, including ones you haven't heard yet.

More About The Teachers
Jenny & Ricardo
Jenny Frances and Ricardo Oria love tango - its music, its song, and its dance. They love the moment of surrender in the arms of your partner, the feeling of losing yourself and yet finding yourself at one with the music, at one with your partner, at one with yourself. They are proud to be part of the tango community: a rich culture steeped in history, which is still of relevance today and continues to grow.

Jenny and Ricardo love dancing together on a crowded floor (or on an empty floor) and hope to transmit some of this through their performances and through their teaching.

Jenny and Ricardo came together in 2002 and since then they have been invited to teach and perform in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, France, Spain, Germany and Argentina.
They also organise and participate in the annual 'Bailongo! Tango Festival' in Edinburgh.

Together they have co-directed, produce and dance in their own tango shows. 'Tango Limits' and 'Tango in Paradise' as well as putting on an immersive experience 'Do Souls Breathe?' in collaboration with Bloomsbury Festival 2022.

They regularly teach together in London and Reading for the London Tango Academy as well as touring Europe giving workshops and performing in Paris, Barcelona, Morocco and Argentina.

Since founding the TangoBootCamp, Warren has helped introduce well over 1,000 people across the country to Argentine Tango. He also teaches his own classes 3 nights a week in Sussex and his style which combines technical clarity, humour and passion has developed a substantial loyal following. He will quickly demystify this challenging dance and have total beginners confidently dancing a reasonable standard by the end of the weekend. He also promises to excite and challenge intermediate dancers with some interesting technique and sophisticated figures.
