La Cadencia Tango is an Argentine Tango school based in the Bay Area, we offer a warm, inclusive environment where dancers of all levels—and especially beginners—can grow with confidence and joy. Our mission is to make Argentine Tango accessible, meaningful, and sustainable - especially for those starting their journey. We are committed to structured, progressive learning rooted in connection, presence, and musicality, while fostering a supportive and welcoming community where dancers feel seen, confident, and inspired to grow.

La Cadencia Tango is a perfect place to begin your tango journey. Our teaching is anchored in a 12-Month Progressive Beginner Program, designed to guide new dancers step by step from their very first embrace to confident social dancing. With clear structure, continuity, and thoughtful repetition, students are supported without being rushed or overwhelmed.

Rather than focusing on memorized steps, beginners at La Cadencia build strong foundations: posture, walking, balance, connection, musicality, and partner communication. Each month introduces layered material that deepens understanding while reinforcing essential fundamentals, allowing students to progress at their own pace and return to concepts as their dancing evolves.

The school is led by Rena, whose teaching style is clear, patient, and detail-oriented. She specializes in guiding students through the learning process while offering thoughtful refinement for dancers seeking greater depth, confidence, and ease in their movement. Rena also collaborates with local and visiting guest teachers, giving students the opportunity to experience tango from multiple perspectives.

Our vision is to cultivate a thriving tango community where learning is deep, connection is central, and dancers develop a lifelong relationship with Argentine Tango. We envision La Cadencia Tango as a place where beginners start with clarity, dancers grow with intention, and the embrace becomes a shared language of trust, expression, and joy.

Our offerings include:

La Cadencia Tango is more than a school - it is a community. Dancers come together to learn, connect, and grow through shared experiences, mutual respect, and a shared love for Argentine Tango.

Whether you are taking your very first tango steps or seeking a structured, meaningful way to learn tango from the ground up, we invite you to begin your journey with us at La Cadencia Tango.
