and you can pay by cheque, bank transfer or PAY NOW
(Please note that there are no refunds once the course is full)

WEDS TANGO Schedule with guest teachers @ Archers:
Weds classes are a great way of enjoying Tango with guest teachers who hire the studio and teach in a small group lesson scenario.
These classes are for the dedicated dancer, where the smaller numbers give the opportunity for more individual attention and to provide a more intensive workshop focussing on the quality of movement. No partners required.
Wednesdays in August - Pete teaching £8
7.45pm Level 2 class with Pete - £8 entrance
Concentrating on fluidity of movement, confidence on the dance floor, connecting with the music & your partner
9.15pm Dancing continues for everyone in the main ballroom until 10.30pm
Wednesdays 8, 15, 22, 29 September - Michael Lavocah returns
7.45-9.15pm Open class for everyone
£30 for the 4 weeks, payable in advance or £10 each week
Villa Urquiza is a barrio (neighbourhood) in the north of Buenos Aires. Its two main milongas, Sin Rumbo and Sunderland were home to legendary names in tango such as Lampazo and Portalea. Curious to know what Villa Urquiza style is exactly? Let's ask Jorge Dispari, father and teacher of Geraldine Rojas, and the teacher of Javier Rodriguez and Sebastian Arce:
I would define this style of dancing as tango de salon danced with maximum elegance... with touches of brilliance that are impossible to repeat, given that the geniuses of the past have already departed; none of today’s talents interprets tango (the music) as before. Those are the major differences… The delicacy of stepping in caminatas, the details of giros around the common axis, slow ones, instead of speed without feeling…
- Jorge Dispari
In this short course Michael will share with you the essence of this style that Jorge talks about: the special timing and feeling for the music in both the man and the woman's dance that gives Villa Urquiza style it's unique elegance and quality.
