About us:


The Two to Tango Social Dance Club was founded in 1993 by students in Katharine Thomas Residence Hall at UW-Eau Claire. The purpose of the club is to provide University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire students, staff, and alumni with opportunities to learn, practice, and teach various social dances including (but not limited to) Swing, Tango, Cha-Cha, Rhumba, Mambo, Polka, Fox Trot, and Waltz.


Two to Tango meets every Sunday night from 6:30 to 8:30 in the McPhee dance studio (click for directions). Meetings are open to all UWEC students and faculty and their guests. No experience is necessary! When you arrive, please sign in at the table located by the door. Please take off any “street” shoes before walking on the dance floor to help keep it in good condition. Feel free to dance in socks if you do not have other appropriate shoes.


Each meeting starts with a few announcements and then we get right to dancing. See the calendar for a schedule of which dances will be taught at each meeting. Two to Tango's meetings are about having fun, meeting new people, and dancing with friends. Please introduce yourself to each person you dance with. Student Instructors will be available at every meeting, so if you need help with a step just ask a Student Instructor for help.


No dues are needed on the first or second visit to Two to Tango. Please pay dues on the third visit. Dues are $10.00 per semester or $15.00 per year and entitle members to attend weekly instruction, local dances, and special events. These events are free or reduced for paid members. Instruction is provided for members by professional instructors from the Eau Claire area or highly trained student instructors.

Leadership Opportunities:


Because numerous students visit or become active members in Two to Tango sponsored programs, it takes a dynamic executive team to provide leadership to the club. Two to Tango's officers include a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Sergeant-at-Arms.


Club members also have an opportunity to become student Instructors. These persons usually serve as demonstrators (with others) at club events, provide basic instruction, and receive specialized advanced instruction from professionals.

Our Place in the University Community:


Two to Tango provides important support to the University community in a number of ways. Members participate in the Viennese ball by holding a reception and then traveling to the Ball as a group. In addition, Two to Tango provides instruction in the dances of the Ball. This instruction is available for several weeks preceding the Ball and there are several opportunities to obtain instruction. Two to Tango also supports the Housing and Residence Life department by providing demonstrations and instruction.
