• July 2004 John and Teresa's classes drew to a close leaving eager dancers needing some tango.
• September 2004 Janet and Adrian took up the challenge and created Tango Cheltenham.
• September 2004 Tuesday evening classes began at St. Mark's C of E school, initially with about 10 - 20 dancers. We now regularly have 30 - 40 beginners and a "hard core" of dedicated improvers and intermediates.
