Firstly we want to thank our dear friends and talented students Tina Spiegel and Martin Hargous, Jenny Wells and Alvaro Gonzalez, Gail Parsonage and Ted Murray for dancing sooooo well at the Australian Chamber Orchestra's recent fundraising night - "A Night in Buenos Aires".

CANDOMBE SHOW at our 2nd Birthday Milonga

And many thanks to all who celebrated PATIO de TANGO's 2nd Birthday at our "Candombe Milonga" - a warm and festive - celebrated Rioplatense style. Thanks also to Jorge Velazco and his Candombe troupe for their warmth and generosity - they performed from their hearts and shared with us an essential part of Uruguayan culture.
