Tango Warwick classes:
Tango Warwick classes in Argentine tango take place on Fridays, except the first Friday of each month. There is social dancing for an hour afterwards.
New Beginners can still be catered for and should join the 6.30 pm Argentine tango class.
Our teachers Luis Rodrigues & Elizabeth Knock returned from Buenos Aires at the end of January and are in their new season of residency with Tango Warwick.
If you have been thinking of taking up real Argentine Tango : there is still time to join !
If you have been away from tango for a few weeks or years: why not come back now?
Warwick Tango's classes & practica with 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.
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 in doubt about your level ask the teachers.
Week by week 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. In March the emphasis on vals will be from 7.30pm on Friday 24th.
The evening is completed by a sociable and lively practica, with some wine, soft drinks and cake. It will be instructive, friendly, and a very enjoyable evening's dancing.
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 often available for private or semi-private classes on Saturdays. For this please contact them via Luisyelitango@gmail.com
