THEY say it takes two to tango.

But many more will be taking part in the first Oxford Tango Festival which kicked off yesterday.

A series of classes and workshops will be taking place over the weekend at Lady Margaret Hall,in Norham Gardens, North Oxford, led by professional Argentinean tango dancers including Dante Culcuy.

Mr Culcuy said: “When you dance the tango you get a real connection with your partner.

“We have been teaching the tango in Oxford for two years and it has become really popular, but there is no big event like there is in other cities in the country.”

The workshops will be followed by shows in the evenings.
