Pushed by the Covid crisis to do so, one year ago we embarked into a journey of teaching tango group lessons online, something that we never did before. Little did we know that a year later, we would still teach online - with the end of the crisis in view. On the way, we received incredible support from so many dancers, from all over the globe - from Asia - Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam and more to Argentina and wider South America, from the US to Canada and Mexico, from the UK to wider Europe and places further afield, such as Jordan or New Zealand and new Caledonia. As a huge, heartfelt thank you, we organise this gratitude based free lesson for all, starting as usual by the first part (Beginners and Improvers) and followed by the second part (Intermediates and Up). We will teach a 'best of', a selection of lessons during the last year.
