TANGO NELSON 2013
The start to Tango Nelson 2013 has begun with two great occasions.
We had the Practilonga@The Art Zone last Friday night and had dancers Peter and Sabina visiting from Germany who made Nelson a destination based on seeing the Nelson Tango Website and the Practilonga advertised. Thanks for a great night to all those 20 dancers who came. It was hot and sticky and very very tango!
Thank you to all those who came to the Sunday Reviver Class!
What a great class it was with exercises around connection and special emphasis put on inviting and assisting the follower onto their axis. A simple yet fool proof way to make sure we are always looking after each other and dancing as best we can!

Quique will be available for private lessons through the week.
Quique and the lovely Fabian will be in Nelson from 25 March - 2 April. So make sure you are in town to hang out with Fabian and learn from Quique!
SUMMER TANGO IN NELSON 8 - 10 MARCH
Before Quique and Fabian arrive we have the Summer Tango in Nelson weekend!
3 nights of social dancing around Nelson "in celebration of the milonga"
Again this year we have great venues to showcase our tango to our visitors, we have the Playhouse, The Granary and Fellworth House as our venues as well as a surprise outside venue! Out-of-town registrations are starting to come in from Auckland and Wellington. The Djs are sorted, the venues booked.
It is full steam ahead!
Easy things you can do to help make the event successful
- Add to the fever by logging onto the Facebook page and encouraging the out-of-towers, please make them feel special and wanted!
- Offer a bed to the DJs or dancers just flick me an email and I'll help you sort it out.
- Bake a cake for the Saturday night or Sunday milonga, or bring your "signature finger food dish" to share
- Volunteer to drive some out-of-towners to the Playhouse venue - you are going anyway... why not share the space in the car!
But seriously - if you do want to help out I am always appreciative, just flick me an email with your thoughts.
OK time to watch a video!
Lets watch a milonga video from Michelle and Murat who will be teaching at the NZ Tango Festival this year in June. www.nztangofestival.co.nz
