Igor & Teressa are among the best real-floor dancers in San Francisco Bay Area. Our classes pursue "effortless mastery". We teach "real staff", the way people dance around and in Buenos Aires. But we emphasize perfection as the way to highest levels of pleasure in dancing.

The goal of the Club as we can see it now:
Create a friendly environment where people can have good time relaxing, listening to music, meeting friends, getting some easy physical and emotional exercise, try on beautiful dress, relieve stress and enjoy everything else Argentinean Tango gives.
For those who are getting more into dance - establishing the strong basis of social tango dancing and promote the real way this 100-years old dance is done - Buenos Aires Milonga Parties.
As teachers Igor Polk and Teressa pursue "the unconscious competence that will give students effortless mastery."
