For Tango Classes, should I choose “Leader” or “Follower”?

Last updated: June 12, 2026

You should choose the role you want to learn Tango in regardless of gender. The ‘role’ of a dancer is either ‘Leader’ (traditionally male) who leads the movement of the couple or ’Follower’ (traditionally female) who follows the lead. We have absolutely no issues with anyone switching traditional roles. We simply ask you to choose your role when you pay for tuition and keep that role throughout the entire 3-week session.  Anyone with issues dancing with someone of the same or opposite gender should probably choose a different dance school.
