Couple dancing the tango

Tango TLC

"It's sultry, it's passionate, it's a moment between the two of you." That's how Tracy Gooch describes the intimate art of tango. And my goodness she wasn't joking.

I joined a class at TLC, Tracy's Latin Club in Southampton for an evening with the experts.

Tracy has been teaching tango there for the past 10 years. She has an undying love of latin dance and tango is the ultimate expression of the latin heart.

I was useless to say the least, but the people there packed the ballroom, learning to tango with the best of them. I even managed to squash one lady's toes.


Tracy told me how tango allows you to escape the worries of the world, to let go, to enjoy the moment and focus on the sheer joy of the dance.

Then I met Eduardo. From Buenos Aires. Impossilby tall, impossibly handsome and impossibly talented with an accent to die for. Pure girl bait. He helps out in the class and gives a show at the end of the evening with his dancing partner Izzy.

"You get really close to a girl with tango. If you can handle it…"

This guy you've got to see.

Thing is, the girls in the class were pleading for "more men, more men!" They need more men.

Guys, this is one gig where if you wanna dance close up and personal, you'll not be disappointed!
