Club Rules

Who's invited?
We are welcoming of anybody who is friendly, polite, respectful, smells nice, and is fun to dance, talk and socialize with. We will not tolerate any unsocial, aggressive or disrespectful behavior, in addition to any discrimination of any kind. As a Yale student club, we recruit and welcome students (of any school) and any Yale people (including non-students) and we have been very lucky to build a community with wonderful people from countless backgrounds and cultures on 6 continents, and a fabulous warm and friendly athmosphere.

Yale community
To further the growth of our community while ensuring a friendly dance environment for our members, we welcome Yale students and affiliates (faculty, staff, alumni) and their significant others or dates.

Students and postdocs at other institutions receive the same benefits as Yale-affiliated ones, including access to the tango bootcamp for beginners and student membership rates. Come dance with us!

Dancers not affiliated with Yale
Even though we are a student club, we are happy to welcome dancers from the local community who are not affiliated with Yale.

Dancers visiting New Haven
Dancers from other communities who are visiting New Haven are warmly welcomed to our practica as our guests. Free admission!

Manners
Attendance at our events constitutes a commitment to observe gentlemanly or ladylike manners and respectful interactions with other dancers. Please check out our Tango Manners; this guide has lots of useful information.

There are several learning opportunities in New Haven, permitting the basic steps to be mastered in just a few hours, and at a very affordable price, or for free:

Yale Tango Club drop-in classes, Tango Beginner Bootcamp, offered to students and postdocs and their significant others by the Tango Club.

Special workshops with visiting celebrity teachers, for advanced beginners, intermediate and advanced dancers, offered regularly by the Yale Tango Club.

Come dance with us!
