This is an opportunity to practice Argentine Tango, or just to enjoy dancing it. You will need to have done some tango in order to have something to practice! but a class or two should be enough.  For those who have recently started Argentine tango, and are taking classes, it is usually a very good way to speed up progress.

You do not need to come with a partner.

These sessions are regular events with tango dancers who want to improve their dancing whilst they enjoy it, or just enjoy it. It is a friendly, totally relaxed and sociable time with a small number of dancers of wildly different level of experience. There is a decent floor and music, usually by our resident DJ Andy Adamson. It is likely that you will be able to dance with or be advised by a more experienced dancer (especially in the first hour) but you can easily avoid that if you prefer!

This is not a substitute for classes and the other participants are not teachers, though they are usually happy to advise inexperienced dancers who are about to take classes or are taking regular classes.

It is organised by a team under the umbrella of Tango Warwick. However you do not need to be involved with Tango Warwick to come. It may not happen every week though we  try to do it weekly, and usually succeed.

Friday classes & Practica with Luis & Elizabeth :

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.

Beginners are welcome and should join the 6.30 pm  class.

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. See https://www.facebook.com/groups/17622919768/permalink/10164181253284769/
