Tango Testimonials
Tom Bonner
Simon & Emily run a solid class every Sunday for beginners, followed by an intermediate class, then a ronda. Great regardless of whether it's your first time or twelfth.
Sally Fricker
Simply cannot recommend these classes and milongas highly enough. In this vibrant proper local barrio celebrating the Villa Uquiza tango tradition, you'll find a mix of dedicated South Londoners and visitors from all over, embracing in an airy, lofty location, with good floor, great wall art and lovely food and booze. And then of course there's the outstanding music courtesy of Simon and other talented DJs to complete the nostalgic atmosphere. Come!

As a student it has been so fun coming here with friends every weekend!! I definitely recommend it for people who have had no experience as well as people who have a lot of experience! The social dancing is so much fun and everyone is so kind!! I’m very happy to have come here :,)
Mark Waters
One of the best Argentine Tango schools in London. Small but perfectly formed.
With Simon and Emily, I really found the confidence to dance socially rather than going to class after class learning 'fancy' moves which I could never really lead. They are all about the connection, simplicity, the floor craft and of course interpreting the music!
They are the most incredibly lovely and friendly people and brilliant teachers and there's just a gorgeous community of people who learn and dance socially at Tango 178.
The ambiance is great too, a thriving venue. I couldn't recommend this Tango school enough.

Cosy atmosphere and great level of dancers. It feels like being in Buenos Aires. Classy milonga, strongly recommended,

Tango178 has evolved into a very strong Tango community, which is incredibly welcoming and supportive. It feels genuinely inclusive, you'll find very experienced dancers and novices sharing the great atmosphere that Simon and Emily have created. The classes are always well paced and cover aspects of tango which are genuinely useful and can be instantly incorporated into the milonga which follows. This all takes place in a great venue. The ambience is perfect for this type of event and in the summer you will really appreciate the air-con. With a steady supply of good quality food and drink from the bar below, this really is a magical way to spend a Sunday evening. If you're a Tango obsessive or just considering tipping your toe into a Ronda for the first time, you should definitely check out Tango178.

Great venue for tango in south London. Lovely atmosphere, good sound and dancefloor, great intimate space for dancing. Well worth a trip south of the river if you are in town. You can also get nice food and drinks in the pub below.

Mei Klugman
Friendly group. Generally good selection of music. All levels welcome. Pizza in the pub is great too.
Abigail Connolly
Welcoming, friendly and fun! There were a few absolute beginners like me in the class and within the hour we were able to move around the dancefloor and enjoy the music. Great atmosphere at the social dancing after the class. You can bring up your drinks and the bar staff will bring food orders upstairs too. Highly recommend!
Lousie Montgomery
It's a shame it's only once a week. I love it. The teachers are gorgeous people and the venue staff are really friendly too.
Imogen Moore
This Tango class is amazing! We love Simon and Emily and all the lovely people who come here, they are excellent teachers. I've been to other classes and there is such a great vibe here. Maybe because it's smaller and because they seem to have a lot of long term regulars, I'm not sure, but it's definitely 'special'. They do an offer thing where you can bring a new person for free too. Great venue and lush Sunday dinners before or after the class a must. Eat loads and then burn it off! Would definitely recommend.
Peter Cooke
Great class. Very informative and fun !
DJ Rich
We loved it! Simon and Emily are great teachers and the other students and dancers were really friendly and made us feel very at home. If you're an absolute beginner and feel a bit nervous about doing your first class, this is definitely the place to go.
