Nancy & Rod Derby traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina in March 2006 to study more of the art of Tango and have brought back a wealth of knowledge to share with their students!  The styles and culture that is ever changing and ever familiar can now be learned at Derby Dance & Music Arts.  Come learn what dancing is like in the heart of Argentina!

Shoes for MEN and Women are available at the studio for tango classes.  Dancewear is casual.  Women should wear either pants or shorter skirts (NOT full length) as seeing the legs is important for the technique of learning Argentine Tango.  Beautiful shoes for both men and women are also available at Assemble Dancewear.
