Fridays classes: usual details:
Tango Warwick classes in Argentine tango take place on Fridays, normally except the first Friday of each month. There is social dancing with some refreshment for about an hour afterwards.
This week there will be concentration on Tango Vals from 7.30 pm. A treat that will not happen again 'til midsummer!
Beginners should join the 6.30 pm Argentine tango class.
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 for the classes from 7.30 onwards 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 April there will be emphasis on vals from 7.30 pm this Friday.
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 nearby New Inn, CV31 1DW is in the Good Bear Guide).
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
