What we’re about
This is a group for those interested in learning Argentine Tango at all levels including absolute beginners, and/or enjoying this wonderful dance at social events (Milongas). It is for those living or studying in the general area of Warwickshire and the West Midlands and for tango enthusiasts visiting the area who are looking for somewhere to dance. Most of the events, but not all, take place in Leamington Spa or Warwick both of which are fairly easily reachable via the A46 or M40 and connecting roads, or bus or train.
Argentine tango is a dance where the couples are usually in close contact, and where the convention is to change dance partners throughout the evening. Its essence is that it is a social dance. The social events are called milongas. Once you are competent at dancing tango you can go to milongas all over the world, with or without a partner . See the video below. This genuine Argentine tango is quite different from ballroom "Argentine tango'" which does not equip you for milongas, though it is often taught as "Argentine Tango".

L:a Milonga Ideal: '8th night ' edition, with Ricardo Peixoto
The Court House Ballroom,, Jury Street, Warwick, CV34 4EW., Warwick, GBTo celebrate the beginning of 2026, and the ending of the main Christmas season, we will be taking Tango Warwick's monthly milonga to the supreme elegance of the Warwick Courthouse Ballroom. It is in the centre of historic Warwick, near the castle.
Ricardo Peixoto, our resident star DJ, and co-founder with Su Park of Tango Warwick, will ensure the music and dancing will enchant us and take us into 2026 full of magical tango memories.
As you may know Warwick citizens like an early night and now we must stop the music by 10.30 pm. To compensate there is the early start at 6.30 pm.
As well as the usual warm welcome for visitors and regulars, and good vibes, there will be somewhat festive nibbles, and some wine for early arrivers, but BYOB if you wish. The floor is excellent. We aim to make it a very good evening!
COST & Pre-REGISTRATION: £16 (£10 for students with student card), in CASH, at door, if tickets still available. To be sure pre-register / book via https://forms.gle/PGtH7sqvV75mD3re9 where you can pay in advance; if this causes problems email tangowarks@gmail.com with subject "Jan Milonga ".
THE COURT HOUSE is on the main street, A429, through Warwick above "Information", on the right when going East, opposite the road leading to St Mary's Church. The entrance is on the side road.
It is about 15 minutes walk from Warwick railway station, less if you go through a park. See http://www.traveline.info. Also close to M40 (via junction 15) and A46 with its connections to M6, M69, M1 .
PARKING has to be hunted for: Jury Street (A429) the main road itself, by the castle wall, in side streets towards or beyond St Mary's Church. Some free after 6pm, others £2.30 for the night after 6pm. See https://www.parkopedia.com
Useful car parks are:
- West Rock Car Park, West Rock, Warwick, CV34 4DE , 5-minute walk to the venue;
- Cape Rd, Warwick CV34 4UN. Open and free after 5pm. Not available before 5pm. My favourite choice if street parking seems full. 10 minutes walk.
- St. Nicholas Park Car Park, Banbury Road, Warwick, CV34 4QY. 7-minute walk to the venue (uphill!).
Parking has not usually been a serious problem before unless there is a special event in the Castle; that seems not to be so on 2nd.
ACCOMMODATION: Warwick is a major tourist centre, and very close to Stratford. There are many hotels and B&B's. You can even stay in Warwick Castle grounds.3 attendees
