Meet & Greet
In the Ebony Lounge

Every weekender begins with a relaxed Meet & Greet in The Ebony Lounge — a chance to settle in, catch up with familiar faces, and meet new dancers before the weekend begins. It’s the perfect way to ease in and feel at home before the dancing starts.

Total Relaxation & Fitness

Between workshops and milongas, the hotel’s leisure facilities are yours to enjoy. Take a swim, use the gym, or simply relax — the pool and gym are included with your stay. Recovery and rest are part of the experience, not an afterthought.

Tango Immersion

This is where the weekender earns its name. With at least 9 workshops spread across the weekend — taught by hand-picked national and international teachers — you’ll cover more ground in two days than most dancers cover in months of weekly classes.

Workshops are designed to complement each other, build progressively, and leave you with skills you can immediately apply in the milongas that follow each session.

Our musical programme is curated with the same care. DJs are selected for their technical skill, musical depth, and ability to read a room — creating the atmosphere that makes tango feel alive.

World Class Dance Floors

At Tailored Tango, we believe a great dance experience starts from the ground up. That’s why for our larger events and weekenders we hire premium professional dance floors from AFML Dance Floor Hire.

Their high-quality sprung dance floors provide the perfect balance of smoothness and comfort — ideal for long evenings of social dancing and workshops alike. Whether you’re gliding through elegant tango walks or enjoying energetic late-night tandas, the floor beneath your feet makes all the difference.

We invest in exceptional flooring because we know dancers appreciate:

  • A smoother, more enjoyable dance experience

  • Better comfort for knees and joints

  • Reliable movement control

  • A professional event atmosphere

 

Combined with great music, welcoming company, and beautiful venues, our carefully selected dance floors help create the warm, high-quality experience Tailored Tango is known for.

This is what our last weekender looked like — in the eyes of the dancers who were there

Every face in that reel arrived as a dancer. Every one left having gone deeper into the dance than they expected. That's what three days of full immersion does.

Our next Argentine tango weekender in the East Midlands is now open for booking.
