There's quite a lot of info in this post. So get yourself a tea and read on for some exciting events, new learning opportunities, plus some chances to save some money..
Workshops and your revision notes
The workshop on 10th June was great fun, if you made it
along, thanks for being a part of it! Hopefully you're feeling the
difference in your dancing at the milongas already. As promised here are
some revision notes I made for you, along with a few related ideas
which you may find helpful:

New workshop
The next workshop in Southampton will be on free leg movements and embellishments,
including a variety of leg wraps, ganchos and boleos, along with rulos
for followers. It will help you find more relaxation, freedom and
fluidity in your tango dancing.
As usual, the workshop will be suitable for recent beginners and more
experienced dancers alike. For those who feel ready there will be the
opportunity to explore some leg wrap and gancho chains.
The date is not yet fixed, so if you'd like to do it, please let me know which of these two dates you can make: 22nd July or 29th July, Sunday afternoon 1-5:30pm, followed by a 1 hour practica.
I'm trialling a new price for the workshop in order to make it more
accessible for more dancers. The new price is just £24 for the whole
afternoon workshop!
Events and Performances
If anyone is around Deal on the Friday 29th June, I'll be performing at the Deal Festival
in Kent with Sophie Miller. For the opening evening we'll be tangoing
to around 8-9 songs over the evening, including to live music! For more
details on the event please see: http://www.dealfestival.co.uk/
Before that, on 28th June, I'll be performing in London at the City Arts and Music Project with Bianca Vrcan for the Platform 33 event. For more details and tickets see: http://www.platform33.co.uk/
Summer break
I'm going away to Holland for some further tango training myself in July, so Wed 11th July there will be no class (although Liz might open the hall up for practice), and Monday 9th and 16th July Liz will be running the beginner class.
'Question time'
Here's the idea: If you're keen to learn, each week I invite you to
come to me with one tango question after your class. It could a step
you're struggling with, a new step you'd like to learn, a general
sticking point, something to do with timing or musically. Basically
anything tango related you'd like my input on. I will then spend 5 minutes with you individually on your question.
Besides hopefully encouraging more people to come to class, I really
hope this opportunity will encourage you to focus on how you'd like your
tango to develop, and assist you in getting there. Now the rest is up
to you!
Invite a friend
For a while now I've been running the deal where if you bring 3 other
people to a course you get a free private lesson. I'm now adding to that
a second deal:
Bring a friend and get a free group lesson. If you bring someone new
along to a lesson or to the beginner course, who you think might enjoy
tango, then you get a free group lesson. Bring two people, get two free
lessons, and so on. Simple. So if you want to reduce the cost of your
tango, and help share the joy of this magical dance, get your friends
along!
Save even more money, pay in advance
Would you like to cut over 12% off the cost of tango lessons? Then now
you can pay in advance. Make a subscription for lessons online, billed
every 8 weeks, and pay only £7 per lesson, rather than the normal £8.
You effectively get a free lesson every 8 weeks!
If you want to come to more than one lesson a week you can save 25% off
the normal class price! Full time college or university students (or
the unemployed) can get almost 50% off normal lesson prices! Book now on
this page:
Guest teacher
On Wednesday 4th June, Sarah Stribley from
Thames Valley Tango school, will be teaching with me. She'll be sharing
some of her knowledge on ladies technique, for making your footwork more
elegant and musical. For the leaders, in this session I'll be showing
you some fancy footwork of your own.
Socials
As mentioned in the previous email, Lisa's leaving party is on the 21st July, from 7pm at Povey's. You are warmly invited. If you'd like to come please let me know!
Would you like to organize a tango social? Great! Drop me an email with your idea.
Take care, and I hope to see you soon,
Joe
