In the meantime remember there is a new beginners course starting on Wednesday 15 August  at the YMCA in Victory and I hope you will encourage all your non-dancing friends to come along and give it a try. (see earlier post).  PLease note this is an awesome class for those who also dance to come along and scrub up their technique whilst giving valuable time to the beginners.  $100 for the 8 week course.

Golden Bay weekend coming up - won't that be fun!!  Last year the weekend was a great success.  I taught a couple of workshops and we had a fantastic milonga  and curry night at the Wholemeal Cafe, followed by a scrumptious lunch on the Sunday after the last workshop.  I had a blast and so did all the Nelsonians who came over and joined the Golden Bay tangueros.  I hope many of you will come this year and maybe we will get some folks from outside of Golden Bay and Nelson as well!  You never know ;-))


OK and  now we have a little video of some milongueros with lovely footwork from the 1988 movie Tango  Bar.


See you on Sunday - beginners welcome.
