It gives us great pleasure to bring Jenny and Ricardo Oria back to Glasgow for the first time since 2019. We are delighted to bring you a performance from our maestros at the Summer Ball. They are also offering a workshop beforehand. Both events will take place at the fabulous Glasgow Art Club, 185 Bath St., Glasgow G2 4HU.
The Summer Ball is 7.30 to midnight. Tickets cost £25 and include a buffet supper. There will be a licensed bar. Buy tickets online HERE. Please book by 22 August as we need numbers for the venue. There will be no tickets on the door.
We are delighted to welcome a quintet from Garua Tango Club to play a short live set, and our Glasgow Tango DJs will keep the music flowing for the rest of the evening.
Pre-ball Workshop with Jenny and Ricardo 5.30 to 7pm. ‘Tango Vals, Beautiful Rhythm and Musical Inspiration.’

Tango Classes with Shona and Alistair:

We teach three levels of classes. The final class of this term is Wednesday 24 June 2026. The next new course for new beginners will start in September. Please remember booking is essential for the Beginners course as this allows us to balance numbers. Contact Alistair for more information and to reserve a place. You can just drop in to Improver and Intermediate level. Check the Classes page for more information.
