Absolute Beginners/Tango Vals/ Corina Piatti/Diary

STOP PRESS: The wonderful  Corina Piatti has agreed to sing and play for us to dance to for Twilight Milonga on Sunday 25th October. Just like old times!  An innovation for Tango Spa is that the Friday Welcome Milonga & Class will be the height of elegance at the Warwick Court House Ballroom. Everything else will be at the Pump Rooms or North Hall in central Leamington.

ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS are welcome to come to start Tango this Friday 21st Feb, at 6.30pm. Restarters too!

From 7.30 pm our teachers Luis Alberto Rodriguez Predieri & Elizabeth Knock will concentrate on Tango Vals, and at 9.30 approx the evening will be rounded off by the usual lively practica with some cake, wine, and fine cordials. DJ Andy Adamson.

There will be the usual more advanced courses later in evening, restricted to more experienced dancers and by permission of the teacher. They will concentrate on tango vals for this week. Most students find joining in the basic classes useful, or essential, even while taking the most advanced ones. Of course we will be very happy to have newcomers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luis & Elizabeth often are available for private, or semi-private, classes on Saturdays. Please contact them via Luisyelitango@gmail.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For new beginners:


• You don't need a partner, Argentine Tango is a social dance and it is standard practice to change partners during the classes.

• It is best to have shoes in which you can slide and pivot on the floor. Avoid rubber heels or soles if you can.

• Dress can be informal or almost anything in which you can freely move, but remember that you will be dancing fairly close to a partner who may be sensitive to anything from strong perfume to curry!

• Let me know if you have any queries I might help with.
