DETAILS:
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.
There will be a special emphasis on starting off beginners on February 14th, but beginners who cannot wait and want to get ahead will be welcome to join the 6.30pm class this week.
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.
The evening is completed by a sociable and lively practica/social dance, with some wine, fine cordials, and cake, and with Andy Adamson as DJ. 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 Beer 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

TANGO VALS: A lovely dance which is normally included in milongas (Argentine Tango social dancing events), about 1 in 7 dances in a typical milonga are Vals. Luis & Elizabeth's special enthusiasm for it makes their teaching of it especially unmissable. For example : https://www.facebook.com/1067988017/videos/965740381760450/
