Milonga classes! Tango Classes, Diary.
It's milonga at Luis & Elizabeths's classes at St Mary's this week, at least from 7.30pm; the 6.30pm "Fundamentals" class is as usual. That means a very lively evening even without birthdays, fizzy wine, or other distractions. Milonga classes with Luis & Elizabeth are special events and not to be missed; their love of the dance infects us all. (For an after class demo for a slow milonga see https://www.facebook.com/1173493100152888/videos/910751190386134/, or at La Milonga Ideal https://youtu.be/TeD0NNQfqwk?si=WBm7DKxDPSnnokc_)

You do not need to cme 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.
The evening is completed by a sociable and lively practica/social dance, with some wine, fine cordials, cake, and music often 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
