Learn to Tango For Two (Even if you think you can’t dance) (18/7)
Come join us at Curious Parties: Learn to Tango (Even if You’re Shy) for a fun and relaxed evening of dancing and mingling!
Have you ever watched a couple glide across the dance floor, perfectly in sync, and thought: “I want that kind of spark”? Or maybe you’re craving a date night that’s more exciting and less of the usual ‘dinner and a movie’?
Welcome to Curious Parties: Tango for Two— a playful, beginner-friendly workshop designed to help couples deepen their connection and learn new moves on the dance floor!
No dance experience? No problem. Tango isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection and presence. Tango is the dance of passion, trust and spontaneity.
The dance floor becomes your playground to:
- Share an intimate experience as you learn a new fun skill together
- Read your partner’s cues without saying a word
- Turning missteps into playful moments to go with the flow
- Laugh, flirt and break the routine in a judgment-free zone.
What You’ll Explore Together:
In this workshop, you’ll:
- Learn The Tango Walk: Master the art of walking with intention and grace
- Seduce the floor (and each other) with slow, intentional steps and confidence in your movement.
- Learn the dynamics of leading and following: Learn to listen with your bodies without memorizing steps! No choreography involved as you sense, listen, and harmonise with your partner instead.
- Discover the art of connection: Shed inhibitions and let the music guide you (no “right” or “wrong”). Explore the balance between independence and connection as you communicate without words
- Build confidence: Step out of your comfort zone in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
Who’s This For?
This workshop is for anyone who’s been curious about Tango and thought, “But what if I’m not good at it?”. No one starts out being good at something.
- Couples craving new date night ideas
- Couples who fear they have two left feet and want to learn easy moves to impress on the dance floor
- Laugh, flirt, and break the routine in a judgment-free zone.
- No fancy shoes or skills needed—just bring curiosity and each other. Spaces are limited to ensure an intimate experience.
Date: 18/7, Friday

Location: Co. @ Duxton, 99 Duxton Road #02-00 Singapore, 089543

Meet the Facilitators
Etty Astika
Etty stumbled into matchmaking but stayed for the magic. Turning casual chats into deep connections and making people feel like the main character. Flirting? That’s her second language. From cheeky “Do you miss me?”s to her kopi uncle to compliments that land just right, she’s got the charm to make hearts flutter and egos blush.
With a bold blend of confidence, curiosity, and connection, she brings playful energy into every room. When she’s not charming people, she’s tangoing, throwing punches in Muay Thai, lifting heavy, or building an athleisure brand with her besties — all while crushing it at IKEA Singapore.
Confession Club: Love Edition (7/8)
Confessional-booth-meets-group-therapy. For the juicy stories you can’t tell your friends (or maybe you shared it too many times)
Love. Lust. Late-night “U up?” texts. That one person you still stalk online once in a while even though it’s been forever. Or maybe the one that you’re trying to thirst trap with your IG stories.
This isn’t a dating event. It’s not therapy. It’s Confession Club: Love Edition where we air our romantic laundry (dirty, clean, or “what was I thinking?”) and laugh/cringe/sigh about it together. It’s about the stories you can’t tell your friends or the one that they’ve heard about 129473 times and you need fresh ears to rant it out.
In this mixer, you’ll:
- Secret Sharing:
Drop your love confessions anonymously—via our form or show up on the day itself. No names, no receipts, no judgment.
- Group Therapy (But Make It Fun):
We’ll read them aloud. Maybe you’ll hear about:
- That time someone delivered a 20 page handwritten love letter to their ex to win them back
- The secret office fling that’s burning up the (Excel) sheets
- The one who got away that you still think about from time to time
Just here to listen? That’s fine too, we’ve got snacks and drinks! Because nothing bonds strangers than shared love stories or dating mishaps.
Who’s this for?
- The “I-have-a-crush-on-someone-who-doesn’t-know-I-exist”
-those who want to rant about dating apps and “why-do-I-keep-picking-the-wrong-ones”
- Anyone who’s ever screenshot a text to 3 group chats for analysis.
This is a safe space where it isn’t about fixing your love life—it’s about catharsis, meeting like-minded folks and having fun!
Spaces are limited to ensure an intimate experience. Ready to confess and have a fun night out?
Date: 7/8, Friday
Time: 7.30 – 9.30 pm
Location: Co. @ Duxton, 99 Duxton Road #02-00 Singapore, 089543
Price: $55 (Includes drink & light snacks)
