Tango Warwick Classes, Milongas, practicas

Tango Warwick classes take place on Fridays, except the first Friday of the month, at St Mary's Church Hall, Leamington Spa. They are very welcoming and you do not need a partner to join. They are folowed by an hour of practice/ social dancing. Details below.

Tango Warwick's monthly milonga, the Milonga Ideal, is on the first Friday of each month (except November). It is a traditional milonga with  top DJ's, and attracts dancers from a very wide area of the country. It normally runs from  8 pm to midnight, but this August we have a very special guest, the Latin Grammy Award winning singer Guillermo Fernández, and the milonga will be preceded by a class given by Dante Culcuy with Lilie. It normally takes place at Warwick Space, 71 Coten End, Warwick CV34 4NU.

Totally Informal practicas are held on Wednesdays at Warwick Space, 8.15 to 10.15, cost £5. Welcoming, no partner needed, some knowledge of Argentine Tango preferred, but a few classes will suffice. Not a class but usually helpful dancers around.

Tango Spa v10, our weekend festival for this year is from 27th-29th October. Thanks to Ricardo Peixoto the Dj's are lined up, and will be announced over the next couple of weeks. Booking has started: see https://fb.me/e/qEfVE5uHs or https://tangowarwick.org/events/tango-spa-v10

Tango Warwick classes, usual details:

Beginners should join the 6.30 pm Argentine tango class.

If you have been thinking of taking up real Argentine Tango : there is still time to join !
If you have been away from tango for a few weeks or years: why not come back now?
Warwick Tango's classes & practica with Luis & Elizabeth give you Friday evenings full of friendly people and exciting classes. They come with the promise of wonderful social events, almost anywhere in the inhabited world.

You do not need to come with a partner.

We welcome single dancers as well as couples, newcomers as well as those we haven't seen for months, irregulars and regulars alike.

Experienced dancers also join the 6.30 pm class in order to perfect their techniques, and help bring on beginners.

The 7.15 pm and 8.30 pm classes are for more experienced dancers (in Argentine Tango). If there can be any doubt about your level, especially for the 8.30 class, please ask the teachers.

Week by week we follow the sequence used in traditional milongas (tango social dances); TTMTTVTTM...where T=tango, M=milonga (the dance, not the social event), V=tango vals, so that the milonga & vals do not get neglected. In June the emphasis on milonga will be from 7.30pm on Friday

23rd. You have to wait until July for Vals.

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. You are welcome to stay for the practica even if not doing the later classes: you can read, dream,... or visit a nearby pub.

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
