Tango Intensive in Devises with Luis, Elizabeth, Leo & Tracey

11 May 2024

Devizes

We are thrilled to announce a collaboration between ourselves and Luis & Elizabeth of ‘Tango y Nada Mas’ with our project ‘Tango Intensives Roadshow’.

The idea behind the project is to share our passion for the social improvised Argentine Tango.

All 4 of us have taught for many years and between us we cover all the styles of Argentine Tango including:
Tango Milonguero, Tango Salon, Canyengue, Orillero and Nuevo and all the rhythms including: Tango, Tango Vals, Tango Milonga and Tango Foxtrot.

We have been looking around the UK for beautiful venues that we can run some 1 day Saturday intensive classes finishing with an evening Milonga.

Our first venue is the Assembly Rooms at Devizes Town Hall in Wiltshire. This has an amazing Georgian ballroom upstairs and another lovely room called ‘the Cheese Hall’ downstairs!

We are offering a total of 6 classes with both couples to choose from throughout the afternoon from 2.00pm until 5.30pm. There will be a break and then the milonga will be from 7.30pm until 11.00pm.

You can choose to do:
Three classes and the milonga
1 class and the milonga
Milonga only
