The Belfast Argentine Tango Society (BATS) was formed in June 2007 as a “not for personal profit” organisation to promote Argentine Tango. Classes and workshops had taken place in Belfast prior to this – through the efforts of individuals or independent teachers. However, it was felt that a structured society was necessary to facilitate a more consistent promotion of Argentine tango.Membership is open to all and a committee is elected each year to run the society. We are all just tango enthusiasts who volunteer our time and effort to organise classes, milongas, and other events
