with Graham and Nathalie
Last Saturday (19th October 2024) we held our first dedicated Beginners' Workshop afternoon in Borough Green, Kent, and I am pleased to say that it was a roaring success.
Over the four hours of the workshop, Angelique and I took a group of mostly absolute tango beginners through the basics of the hold, walking, some ochos, a giro, and even a gancho. We had wondered if four hours in one session would be too much, but copious tea, coffee, biscuits, and donuts (!) saw us through the workshop and time time passed in a flash.
We will be running these events every three months (or thereabouts) so if someone you know wanted to give it a go but was unable to attend this one we will be doing it all again in January. Please check our diary for dates and details.
If you were one of those beginners there then thank you for making it a fun afternoon, and we hope to see you again soon at one of our regular classes.
There will be more workshops to come on other topics too, and I am currently putting the finishing touches to a Dance Musicality workshop for intermediate tango dancers and above. Details for this will be published soon.
