About this studio
Corrientes is a cultural venue dedicated to Argentine tango, operating for 15 years in Basel. The business runs as both a teaching and social dance space, organising its own tango events while also renting its two venues — Corrientes and Caminito — to other promoters hosting salsa, bachata, kizomba and swing nights. Both spaces come with technical support and a bar service.
The heart of Corrientes is the Tango – Förderverein Corrientes, a non-profit association dedicated to supporting and developing open tango culture in the city. The association is run by individual and collective members who share the mission of promoting Argentine tango through their own events and community initiatives. Unlike a commercial studio, the Förderverein operates on a non-profit, non-commercial basis — membership contributions support the organisation's work rather than shareholder returns.
The venues are available to rent during times not booked for scheduled events, making them flexible spaces for private bookings and events. A calendar of current tango courses and milonga dates is maintained and regularly updated. The business runs year-round with no summer break, keeping the tango calendar active throughout the year.
You can find Corrientes in Halle 2 west at Dornacherstrasse 192. The venue welcomes both dancers seeking classes and instruction in Argentine tango, and those looking to attend social milongas and dance events. A newsletter subscription is available for tango event updates.
