DETAILS for January classes:
We are delighted to welcome Vessy & Laurence Reid as Tango Warwick's guest teachers for January 2023.
Vessy & Laurence are in the recent group of European dancers who have the ambition, determination, and skill to take their Tango to the highest of international levels. They are semi-finalists of the mundial de tango (virtual) in 2021 (The Tango World Championship) and finalists of the Münster Tango Championship. They recently spent 6 months sabbatical leave in Argentina & Uruguay, to concentrate on their tango. They value tradition and have been taught by some of the most well-known maestros. Laurence developed his enthusiasm for tango while in Birmingham.
They will give two classes each Friday evening. The evening is completed by a lively practica/social dance, with some cake, wine and fine cordials. Andy Adamson will DJ for 13th Jan.
The classes are not meant for absolute beginners: they will have to wait until Luis & Elizabeth return on February 10th. However those from "Improvers" level up will be very welcome, whether local or just visiting. You do not need to come with a partner.
