Milonga classes with Luis & Elizabeth/ Diary
On Friday 12th November at St Mary's Leamington, Luis & Elizabeth will concentrate on milonga from 7.30. A milonga class with them is pretty close to unmissable. As always the evening will end with a practica, with wine, fine cordials, and cake. It will be friendly, informative, and fun.
No partner is needed but as with other Tango Warwick events we impose stricter entry conditions than many others do:BASIC COVID ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: participants must be able to show they have been fully vaccinated and had a negative lateral flow test on the day.An easy way to do the latter is to bring your test strip in a clear plastic bag, but the email or text from the NHS is fine. For St Mary's classes, exceptionally, the nhs covid pass suffices if you are dancing only with a fixed partner and not joining the practica. An NHS covid domestic pass valid for 3 days after the event can be used for the vaccination requirement.

Milonga Ideal is back in SPACE on December 3rd, 8 pm to midnight. Otherwise as usual, eg no partner needed, cabaceo encouraged, ..., apart from the strict entry requirements. Details later.
