Details

The much admired teachers Luis Rodrigues and Elizabeth Knock are continuing their residency with Tango Warwick, giving classes at all levels, on Fridays, except, in general, on the first Friday of each month.

These are classes in Argentine Tango as danced internationally from Buenos Aires to Beijing, via Lisbon, Berlin, Istanbul, Kiev,..., Nairobi,... Goa, ...,Sydney, Hong Kong, Barford, & Paris see
https://www.facebook.com/groups/647271378622582/permalink/5527948360554835/ where anybody who can tango who is passing by, with or without a partner, can join in. It is quite different from ballroom tango! It can be very addictive.

***You do not need to come with a partner, and it is normal, and recommended, though of course not obligatory, to change partners frequently during the classes.

Beginners come to the 6.30 class together with those who want to brush up their fundamentals, or help and motivate the beginners.
In particular we welcome single dancers as well as couples, newcomers as well as those we haven't seen for months or years, irregulars and regulars alike.

The 7.15 pm and 8.30 pm classes are for more experienced dancers (in Argentine Tango). If unsure of your level please ask the teachers; participation depends on the teachers consent.
The evening ends with a sociable and lively practica/ social dancing, with some wine, fine cordials, and cake. It will complete an 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 possibly crowded social events in mind, has made them very popular.
They are based in London. See https://tangoynadamas.org for more about them. You will find many links to videos of them there. If you want to see more of the sort of dancing we do, here are some links to performances by others who have taught for Tango Warwick:
