What's Happening at Philadelphia Argentine Tango School

Tango Bardo LIVE at the Palermo Fishtown Milonga

September 23, 2026

Yes, it's nearly unbelievable, but also true... Tango Bardo will perform live for dancing at the Palermo Fishtown Milonga on Wednesday, September 23.  Tango Bardo is one of the most popular and danceable tango bands in the world.  They have traveled worldwide performing in festivals, milongas and theaters, since their founding in 2014.  Among many other honors, they won “Best Album of the Year” at the 21st Century Tango Awards in 2025, for the album, "D'arienzo Anticrisis."

Don't miss the chance to dance to Tango Bardo's infectious music in the intimate environment of the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School.

Advanced Beginner Intensive (Level 2): October 10 & 11, 2026

October 10, 2026

The Advanced Beginner Intensive prepares students to take any intermediate-level classes or workshops at the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School. To prepare for the Advanced Beginner Intensive, students should take the Beginner Intensive, or attend Wednesday 8 pm Beginner classes for at least one month (or have equivalent experience).


All students will practice both roles.  Because we are practicing both roles, even students with much more experience can benefit from taking the Advanced Beginner Intensive.


Topics covered include:


* Cross System

* The Cross Basic Step

* Back Ochos and steps that are easily accessible from them

* Lead-and-follow improvisation

* Navigation of the social dance floor

* Basic musicality: Phrasing and the Beat


Students should plan to attend both Saturday & Sunday sessions, if possible.
