Building community through tango
in the heart of San Antonio
Hi San Antonio!
We are the San Antonio Tangueros, a community of dancers dedicated to connection, expression, and cultural exchange through the Argentine tango. We create inclusive, welcoming spaces where people of all backgrounds can learn, dance, and grow together.
Our core values below are what guide our mission and the choices we make for our classes and events, for our community, and in our individual tango journeys
Our Commitment to Inclusivity
We believe everyone should feel valued, seen, and accepted for who they truly are. At San Antonio Tangueros, this means honoring the unique identities, backgrounds, abilities, and cultures of everyone who enters our dance community. In tango, what matters most is that you find joy in the role that resonates with you; whether that's leading, following, or dancing both. We welcome dancers of all gender expressions, orientations, and experience levels to move in the way that feels most authentic. We are committed to creating spaces where all feel a deep sense of belonging, both on and off the dance floor.
Our Commitment to Connection
For us tango is more than a dance, it's a reflection of how we show up for one another. Connection isn’t just part of tango, it’s a way of life! The way we greet a partner, listen through movement, and hold space in the embrace mirrors how we care for our wider community. At San Antonio Tangueros, we cultivate a culture of kindness, generosity, and mutual support on the dance floor and beyond. We strongly believe in collaboration over competition and welcome your ideas on how we can collaborate together! Everyone has something to offer, and everyone deserves to feel seen, welcomed, and supported as part of our tango family.
Our Commitment to Access
We believe tango should be available to all who feel called to dance. We acknowledge that in the U.S., tango has often been shaped by systems that make it less accessible to those facing financial or physical barriers. At San Antonio Tangueros, we are committed to creating spaces where people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can join us in movement and community. To the best of our ability, we offer classes and practices in welcoming, physically accessible spaces. Stay up to date through our calendar for when we offer free intro classes and continuously seek ways to lower barriers to entry, because tango belongs to everyone.
Below are some of the ways we meet our mission
Event Hosting and Community Gatherings
At San Antonio Tangueros, we believe in the power of tango to bring people together. That’s why we host and support regular events—from intimate practicas and vibrant milongas to special workshops, performances, and cultural celebrations. These gatherings are the heartbeat of our community, creating space for dancers of all levels to connect, grow, and celebrate Argentine tango.
We welcome collaboration with local and visiting artists, musicians, and teachers to enrich the San Antonio tango experience. If you’re interested in co-hosting an event, teaching, or performing, let’s create something beautiful together.
