SQUARE FOOTAGE - Make sure your dance space is large enough to dance Tango. Walk from one wall to the opposite wall of the room and count how many steps you can take.

FLOOR - Hardwood floors are better to dance than tiles. Keep it clean and free of clutter. 

SOUND SYSTEM - You need a sound system to play the Tango music with the MP3 files you will receive from your Tango instructor. Ideally the entire room should be filled with the music.

LIGHTING - Your dance space needs to have lighting that can be dimmed down. Bright lighting is not ideal to dance Tango. Indirect light works well.

Remember how people used to dress in the 1940's. The music you will be dancing to is from those years and you may consider tone down modern fashion trends to reflect the spirit of the Golden Age of Tango.

ACCESSORIES - Less is more. Make sure to avoid long earings and bulky jewelry, they might interfer with your Tango. 

FOOTWEAR - Tango shoes are a matter of safety. Any closed shoes with support on the heel that can pivot and turn easily without twisting the ankle will do. You may consider investing in a ballroom or Tango shoe later on and carry it with you to the milongas (Tango parties) for greater surefootness and delight on the dance floor.

UBER TRANSPORTATION - Your classes are free but there are some costs associated with the logistics. You need to pay your Tango instructor for Uber travel to and from your dance space. A deposit will be charged in advance to cover an average of 10 classes. If you fail to attend these classes or they are cancelled by the by you or the instrutor for any reason, the Uber fee will not be refunded. You need to replenish the Uber fee each time the initial fee is about to deplete (about 2 round trips left).

HORS D'OEUVRE - Your Tango instructor likes wine, champagne, cheese, crackers, olives, antipasto and other delicious food and drink, preferably vegetarian or vegan. It would be nice to host him with something to celebrate your Tango moment and simulate the ambience of a true milonga (Tango party) making your tango experience even more enjoyble. Please have at least water available during the Tango classes.
