Tango Music Workshop
by John Tan
Tango is more than steps — it is a living culture shaped by music, history, and emotion.
At Tango Manchester, we believe real connection begins with understanding the music.
With over 15 years as a Tango DJ, John Tan shares the structure, orchestras, and musical storytelling behind every tanda — helping you move beyond steps into true musical connection.
