About this studio
Brisbane House of Tango teaches Argentine tango at two locations: Paddington (10 Moreton Street) and Bardon (247 Simpsons Road, enter via Bowman Park). The studio is run by David and Anita, the principal instructors, who came to tango as adults and have since travelled extensively to Buenos Aires, Europe and Asia to develop their craft.
Group classes run on Thursdays at the Bardon studio and are structured by level. Beginner Tango Class (Level 1) requires no prior dance experience and runs in 5-week blocks; the next course starts 30th July 2026 at 6:30 PM. Second Step Tango Class (Level 2) starts at 6:30 PM and requires at least 5 weeks of recent experience. Improver Tango Class (Level 3) runs at 7:30 PM and requires at least 6 months of recent experience. A Vals / Milonga / Nuevo Tango Class at 8:30 PM alternates in 5-week blocks and requires at least 5 weeks of recent experience. All classes are one hour long and no partner is required.
The studio's teaching philosophy centres on connection and creativity between partners rather than learning routines or steps. David emphasises improvisation and individual creativity, bringing an analytical but fun approach. He understands both leading and following roles and teaches as a patient instructor who encourages the tango community to develop their own journey. Anita brings experience as a teacher in other disciplines and focuses on technique while nurturing students' passion for the dance.
Beyond group classes, the studio offers private tango lessons, wedding dance lessons (to help couples dance an elegant tango on their big day), and corporate tango classes for team-building events at your workplace or their air-conditioned studio. Gift certificates are available. The studio also keeps students updated with information about milongas, tango festivals and other events in Brisbane and surrounds.
