The 7.15 pm and 8.30 pm classes are for more experienced dancers (in Argentine Tango) and by approval of the teachers-if that fits you please come-you will get a warm welcome.The evening is completed by a sociable and lively practica, with some wine, soft drinks and cake. It will be instructive, friendly, and a very enjoyable evening's dancing.The teachers are our superb "resident" teachers: Luis Rodriguez and Elizabeth Knock. Their emphasis on elegance and musicality and with dancing in milongas in mind has made them justly popular.
They are based in London. See https://tangoynadamas.org for more about them. They are often available for private or semi-private classes on Saturdays. For this please contact them via Luisyelitango@gmail.com
