"So you think you can tango?"
Dear Tango Friend, SO MUCH TANGO, so little time to write! For the past few months we've been too busy tangoing and touring to attend to our (usually monthly) Newsletter; so this one spans four months and catches up with lots of Tango news. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO . . . Performing, teaching and DJ'ing in Perth (Perth Tango Club) from 25 - 28 July. This will be our first visit to Perth as guest teachers and we are looking forward to meeting and dancing with the local Tangueros. Our monthly Saturday Milongas... The next Milonga will be on the 2nd Saturday of the month on June 14 (not our usual '1st Saturday') and at a different venue (Randwick Labour Club instead of the usual venue at Club Rose Bay). There will be Tango performances on the night. Our July 5 Milonga... featuring LIVE MUSIC with 'TANGO BAR' (back by popular demand) at Club Rose Bay. See 'Milongas' section for details. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS WE'VE ENJOYED . . . Performing, teaching and DJ'ing at the NZ Tango Festival in Wellington from 22 to 25 May.

Note for Tango novices: To fully enjoy Social Dancing it's important to be able to dance the three types of dances (Tango, Vals and Milonga) that are danced at Tango Social Events ('Milongas')... 'Milonga' thus has two meanings... a type of dance or a Tango dance event.
Rate per Workshop: Bookings are essential so we can manage gender balance.
Adelaide: May 9 - 11 This was the third time we've run workshops for 'Siempre Tango' in Adelaide, and we have enjoyed each visit greatly. Many thanks to the enthusiastic dancers and students who attended the workshops and events, and especially to our hosts Megan and Ben. The highlight for us was the Saturday Milonga at the Lloyd family's which is at the Coriole Vineyard in McLaren Vale. A wonderful asado was prepared by Rafael Correa. You can view photos of the event here.
"I've enjoyed every minute this weekend, since with the workshops, performance, Milongas and asado you have succeeded in reproducing the "latin essence" that I'm missing so much in Australia." - Ines Edgard & April performed at the 'Maritime Museum' to promote tourism to Finland (18 March).
