Argentine Tango Detroit — Local services in Utica

I learned a lot during my 4-week class, but ultimately had to quit after a traumatic experience.

One of the other dancers came to the studio inappropriately touching the women, disrupting other participants, and was visibly drunk. The instructors told him multiple times to calm down, but did not feel the need to remove him.

He slowly became more and more agitated and at some point began to target me, because I refused to dance with him. I’m 5’2 and keep to myself. I was sitting on the couches watching the advanced class when he decided to target me. It went from him verbally attack me for not wanting to dance with him to threatening bodily harm.

Although both instructors witnessed the event, neither one intervened. The man wouldn’t leave my physical space so I had to move away from him. Luckily, another male dancer was nearby and that seemed to deter the man from taking further action. Nothing was said to me until I asked to make a formal complaint. Both instructors seemed sympathetic to the man and tried to minimize the scene that occurred.

I’m extremely disappointed in the way the situation was handled and don’t feel safe returning. It makes me sad, because I’ve been studying tango for months now and have had to discontinue my studies out of fear of being attacked. I hope this never happens to another woman and next time the instructors will be more proactive in managing the people they allow into...

I went here with a coupon from one of those deal sites (I believe Groupon or Living Social). My husband at the time and I were interested in learning tango and salsa and they offered a really good deal. We had a great time. There was easy parking right in front of the studio which was quick to find. The instructors were fun and detailed. The atmosphere was welcoming. The other clientele was friendly and it was nice to watch the really good dancers. It made for a memorable night. They also had a variety of classes at convenient hours. I've recommended this dance studio to several people and hope to...

For over two years, a friend of mine tried talking me into attending a beginner’s tango class on a Friday. I always resisted because I do not consider myself to be the most coordinated or even have any rhythm. However, I did give it a chance one Friday evening about a year ago and I have been coming back ever since. I like it so much that I even began taking private lessons. I cannot say enough good things about Argentine Tango Detroit. Instructors are very knowledgeable, supportive, and patience, and just really good people. Two thumps up for Lori...
