A special event, what's it like to be afraid, and a new tango course!

First off, there's a fun filled event coming up on the 9th July in Winchester, with a tango performance by yours truly and partner. If you want to come you need to book by this Friday. Scroll down for more
details on the special event.

NEW 5 WEEK BEGINNER COURSE!
Yes, it's that time again to announce the next Tango Lingua beginner Argentine tango course! Starting 4th July, Independence Day for some, tango day for others. In fact, learning tango (not to stretch the comparison too far) is a wonderful way to gain more freedom of self-expression and connection, and certainly a cause for celebration.

The beginner course is designed to be fun, relaxed, and to give you the skills, experience and confidence you need to start enjoying social tango dancing. It's also a great way to meet people, learn more about yourself, and forget any stresses you may be having in day-to-day life.

FEARFUL? READ THIS
If you like the idea of dancing tango, but the fear of being humiliated or looking like a fool is stopping you, the feeling can be a little like wanting to reach out for an elegant bowl filled with the most delicious food you've ever heard of, but not doing so because you'd have to first traverse a hall filled with banana skins, wearing greased shoes, while a line of friends and colleagues look on with a mixture of bemusement and mirth... Maybe whatever's in that bowl isn't worth it, you might think. But fear not! The teaching environment is very friendly and supportive. The aim is purely to support everyone through their own learning process, working together and accepting that people naturally learn in different ways and at different speeds. Everyone is a beginner once, and if you feel drawn to tango in your heart, then you have it within you to learn to actually do it! Satisfaction is guaranteed.

FURTHER LEARNING
More people now are wanting to develop their understanding of tango beyond the beginner level. Currently there are non-beginner classes running from 9:30 to 10:30 every Monday. These are drop in classes, just come along and join in. (If there's a particular aspect or kind of movement within tango you'd like to focus on, drop me an email and I'll see what I can arrange.)

WHERE AND WHAT TIME IS IT HAPPENING?
Currently all tango courses and classes take place at the Povey's Dance Centre, 159 Shirley Rd, SO15 7RX, Southampton. Beginner classes go from 8pm until 9:30pm each Monday, with free practice time after that.

A SPECIAL EVENT

Also, there will be a Argentine tango demonstration by Emma GS and Joe Hudson so please come along and support this event which is in support of The Alliance for Fibromyalgia, ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The venue is the Twyford Parish Hall, Hazeley Road, Twyford, SO21 1QY, 7.30 pm till late.
