Vals classes, practica, and fundamentals/ Wednesday practica/ Milonga La Ideal
Tango Vals is the emphasis from 7.30 pm this Friday in Luis & Elizabeth's classes at St Mary's Leamington Spa; followed at 9.30 by social dancing/ practica with the usual wine, cake, & fine cordials; and preceded by their Fundamentals class, suitable for beginners.
Vals is perhaps their favourite dance, and it is a special treat when it comes round on the TTVTTM rota: the next time they teach it at St Mary's will be in November.
Visitors & returners are very welcome to these classes, no partner or advanced booking is needed: but pay at the door in cash. There are student discounts. See below for the (usual) details with details of private classes.
The totally informal SPACE practica is on tonight, from 8.15 to 10.15. All tango dancers welcome! See

Classes: Details
Tango Warwick classes in Argentine tango take place on Fridays, except the first Friday of each month. There is social dancing for an hour afterwards.
THIS WEEK 15th Sept from 7.30 pm the accent is on TANGO VALS !
Beginners should join the 6.30 pm Argentine tango class.
If you have been away from tango for a few weeks or years: why not come back now?
Warwick Tango's classes & practica with our resident teachers 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 September there will be emphasis on tango vals from 7.30 pm on Friday 15th.
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 sometimes available for private or semi-private classes on Saturdays. For this please contact them via Luisyelitango@gmail.com
