Whether you’re an absolute beginner or advanced dancer, Carlos Argentina’s authentic tango classes will more than likely suit you.

The first Pakenham class, held at Outlook Community Centre, taught participants the fundamentals of Argentine Tango.

Unfortunately Mr Argentina wasn’t able to attend himself due to medical reasons but his assistant teachers, April Whitelaw and Peter Groom, created the perfect atmosphere and outcome for the new students.

With weekly classes and workshops in Pakenham, Narre Warren, Warragul and Traralgon, Mr Argentina believes tango is a lifestyle, and encourages everyone who is anyone to dive into the dance.

“It’s as simple as have a go. What have you got to lose without falling in love with it?” he said.

“It’s a wonderful dance and I if I had a magic wand I would tell everyone to come along.”
