UOttawa Tango Club

What a vibe last night!!!
Emilie and Tu, thank you so much for everything you shared, for your energy, inspiration, and friendship... We can't wait for the next time!🥰😍😍🥰
To all who showed up, as always, many thanks for your trust, focus and engagement. Together we grow while discovering our own unique paths through the world of tango.
See you on Monday September 7th for the first meetings of the Fall semester😍

UOttawa Tango was thrilled to host Mario Sergio and Diane Rivest for a truly exceptional masterclass this past Sunday. We were all so impressed by the quality of the information, the generosity with which it was provided, and the warmth and care that was shown to our group. Many thanks to both of them as well as to our dear friend Angelina for enabling this special day to happen. And, of course, many thanks to all the dancers who attended and continue to challenge themselves with new ideas!

UOttawa Tango classes continue today, Monday May 25 @ 5:30 in Perez Rm. 302 with Jayme and Alexis, who will review material from the Bailongo Montréal workshops!😊

It was a wonderful Trifecta. Thanks to all who came out and joined us!

UOttawa Tango wishes all our students and supporters a very Happy New Year 2026!
in 2025 we were so fortunate to see the launch of Milonga Cruzada, a milonga that brought together dancers, DJs, and musical and dancing artists, including UOttawaSalsa, Rideau Swing Collective, Florencia Lucano, Jean-Sebastien Viard, and Gustavo Russo! Our UOttawa Tango Weekend in March highlighted the extremely talented Nella and Veysel in a series of masterclasses. Later in the summer we were thrilled to welcome virtuoso guitarists Batimento Duo from Uraguay for a concert in Tabaret Hall with special guest appearances by Ivan Alexandrov and Kenza Dufourmentelle. And then in the Fall a brilliant cycle of classes by Albano Goldenberg! We are very thankful to all our DJs who have contributed to the success of our events - Lihui, Piotr, Burak, Ivan and Jean Sebastien. And of course to all the community organizers and dancers who have supported us and our events throughout the year.
A special thank you to all our students volunteers : Jayme, Gary, Marco, Alexis, Scarlett, Wasif, Vanousheh, Paniz, Jonas, Raphael, Corinne, and no doubt others... that helped make our events run smoothly.
And of course, to all those who give us a vote of confidence every Wednesday evening at our weekly lessons; thank you for your energy, curiosity and presence. It is truly the thing that keeps us going!!
Our weekly lessons will continue in 2026 with Christopher and Xiaohe. And we are always thinking of new ways to keep tango fresh on our campus and in our city. Stay tuned!!
