Music
Here is a list of some of the many available CD’s which have
a clear walking beat for the beginning Tango dancer. They are suggested
for this reason and because they are not very fast and also include
a lot of music which is played at the Milongas.
They are all mainly Instrumentals unless otherwise indicated. They
are available through many of the resources listed and sometimes
at HMV, Tower records and world music catalogs.

Shoes “The
AnaLinda Sol line at Teddy Shoes has received rave reviews by the
Boston tango community!!!
The line has now expanded to include unique styles, which are dressy
and elegant. There are more sizes available as well.. If you have
a black practice AnaLinda Sol and are ready to move up a notch in
your dance confidence or you need a reward, come see and feel the
difference these shoes can make in your dance!”
Beginning Tango dancers need not purchase shoes immediately. Choose
a shoe from among your comfortable collection with smooth leather
soles and that stay on without slipping at the heel.
Both men and women could benefit from a jazz flat or a dance sneaker.
Shoes For men:
Not too bulky
Shoes for women:
Avoid a sling back or a heel that is too high. A flat or a heel
of 1 ½” or up to 2 ½ “ would be similar
to what you would social dance in so is ideal for getting comfortable
on your balance. It is often a good idea to alternate in your practice
between a flat and a heeled shoe.
When you find yourself spending many hours in classes and practicing
then it is time to buy a practice dance sneaker or jazz flat and
possibly a dressier Tango shoe with a higher heel.
AnaLinda Recommends these Shoes
Teddy’s Shoes
for Jazz flats or Dance sneakers and Tango shoes |
"A new line of tango shoes are available
in Cambridge, MA in conjunction with Teddy's Shoes.
I have imported an expanding line of authentic tango
shoes from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Direct from Argentina's
finest shoe factory, Fattomano, these shoes are constructed
with superb materials. Our line has been designed for
balance and stability, especially with the new dancer's
needs in mind."

A moderately priced and reasonably quality shoe. Fairly
authentic construction. Not as structured as some more
expensive Tango shoes but more so than ballroom shoes.
