Matthew y Arnika Tango Workshop

Getting into and out of trouble
Saturday 4 February, 2:45 – 4:15 PM
22 Webb Street, Wellington

This workshop is designed to give Tango dancers some confidence in leading and following Tango when the dance floor is getting busy and there is less space. It will not push the bounds for those who are confident dancers at Canning or El Beso on a Friday night - so if you are one of those it would be great if you could come along to make life easier for the others. The workshops will look at a few aspects of floor craft, leading and following at close quarters, tight turns, making space, safety, inspiration, changing your mind, awareness of surroundings for leaders, and how trust goes both ways. $20. The following beginners class and the Práctica are free for course participants.

Practice Session:
Saturdays 4:30-7:00 PM, $8 unless you have done one of the courses that day. This is a relaxed space to try out new things; a chance to reinforce what you have learnt; an essential stepping-stone between learning new things and using them instinctively in a dance. Seek

Monday night tango classes are continuing - same time, place and spirit!
We now have the task of keeping the spirit & intention of this community going to honour what Vio has started, and are calling for help from those who would like to be part of this. It's really lovely to see how many of you want to keep Monday Tango going, and we'd like to share each role as much possible to keep our unique community and welcoming space open to all.

UPCOMING CLASSES
So we hope you can join us at Crossways Mondays, for class from 7pm with Grant Major (thanks Grant!) and our usual practica dynamica from 8-9:30pm. Grant will also be teaching us next Monday 29th August, then Matthew Civil will be teaching us from Monday 5th September.

If you stay for the whole night, the cost will be $20 ($15 for class and $5 for practica). If you come for the practica alone, the cost will be $7.
