I have taken both beginner and intermediate/advanced level classes at the Alma de Tango tango school at Woolloongabba over the last few years and would highly recommend their classes. Hugo Fernandez and Shirley Yao have always built up the steps from basic to more complex in their classes in a way that made them easier to accomplish and they have shown a high degree of support when I had difficulty with any sequence of steps. The steps taught have been most enjoyable and stylish, good to have in my repertoire for social dancing. The strong emphasis on developing strength in fundamentals like the tango embrace and posture and neat footwork has particularly helped me. I have also had an excellent private lesson with Shirley Yao which assisted me in refining my tango technique. The evening practilonga at the end of Saturday classes gives students an opportunity to practice what they have learnt.
Great team of high quality moral value people! Love their working standards and their professional approach to their art.
Learning at Alma de Tango School is being magically transported to the heart of Buenos Aires. This School is only for those who are looking for the right place where they can find and and are able to appreciate the classic tango music, the charm and the intrinsic poetry of this dance.
Good space for tango, great floor, mirrors, stretching bars and the most important: fantastic teachers! 100% recommended!
I have been a devotee of Alma de Tango for a very long time now. I have never failed to be impressed by Hugo's dedication to his art. His knowledge, his passion and his skills are inspirational and will have any student wanting to return for more. Tango is a tonic for both the body and the soul.
