Help your students find tango partners—and keep dancing
A student wants to join a class, attend a practica or try their first milonga. Finding a partner can be the next hurdle.
Give your students a place to discover fellow dancers, share partner requests and connect around your school through El Compas.
Make finding a class partner easier
The right partner could already be in your school. Help students discover each other through tango profiles and requests that explain what they want to attend.
Encourage practice between classes
Help students find someone to practise with, work on what they have learned and arrange their next practica together.
Keep students connected when plans change
When a usual partner is unavailable, students can post a request for a particular class or activity and connect with someone else.
Tango profiles give students a useful starting point
A name in a group chat tells you little about how someone dances. An El Compas profile gives students more context before they connect.
Leader, Follower or Double role
So students can understand each other’s preferences.
Experience and level
Help dancers find someone whose experience suits the class or practice they have in mind.
Location and languages
Give students practical information that can make arranging a class or meeting easier.
A clear partner request
Students can explain which class, practica or milonga they want to attend and when they need a partner.
For your team
More connection for students. Less coordination for your school.
Finding partners can lead to repeated messages to teachers and administrators. El Compas gives students a place to share their requests and arrange the details directly.
Your team can introduce the community and encourage participation, while students take the next step themselves.
Help other dancers discover your school
A partner request linked to your school gives other dancers context about where someone plans to dance. It can introduce your classes, practicas and milongas to dancers beyond your existing student group, including people new to the city or looking for somewhere to continue learning. Give them a reason to discover your school through the activity they want to join.
Keep the channels your students already use
Continue using your website, WhatsApp or Facebook group for announcements and school information. Add El Compas as a dedicated place for tango profiles and partner requests. Share your community link through your existing channels so students know where to get started.
