Message from Renee & Doni (Tango Melbourne)
Dear Tango Community,
Our workshops are crafted to deepen your Tango journey and enrich all your dance interactions. You may encounter fresh perspectives and concepts that, while immediately understandable, will take time to fully integrate into your dancing (please feel free to take notes or video).
Coming with an open mind will allow you to get the most out of this experience, as we often explore Tango concepts from unexpected angles to help transform your understanding of the dance.
Though the workshops complement each other beautifully, attending even one will provide valuable insights that will enhance your Tango practice.
Every element we teach emerges from thoughtful consideration and dialogue. If anything seems unclear or you’re curious about our approach to particular Tango concepts, please ask—we welcome your questions.
We deeply respect everyone who continues exploring and learning Tango. We look forward to sharing our love of this beautiful dance with you.
Renee and Doni

Questioning is the foundation of growth. In this inclusive workshop, we’ll explore our dancing essence— do you want to be gentle, caring, passionate, powerful, or playful? How can we draw joint inspiration from the music? How do we share the expression of ourselves with our dance partner? Whether you have recently started your tango journey or have years of experience, this subject will grow your dance experience.
