Workshops/events

We are very lucky to have some excellent tango dancers and teachers to accompany me in running workshops.

Marc, from the Netherlands was with us in March 2009 and I hope he will come back some time  but  it may not be for a while as Saskia and he are having a baby in early spring 2010 - congratulations to them :)

Haydyn, from Chippenham (UK!!) was with us in April 2009. Haydyn is back again for June and July.  Actually Haydyn keeps coming back to help us with our tango and is with us for many of the Friday night classes in Chester. He has become part of our tango community, his input is/has been extremely valuable and he is much appreciated.

Korey Ireland was with us in September 2009 and again, for a week, in August 2010 :)

We have had an entire week of input from Korey this year, 2010. 23 people accessed his private lessons and lots of people attended his workshops, which were excellent. Now we have to work to maintain all this wonderfulness - as so many of us participated I think we can work together to keep our new tango experiences :)

Anna, from Tangoessence in Leeds/York, was with us in March 2010 to help us work on ladies embellishments in some of our tango movements.  Again we hope that we will work with her again in the future.

AND we had Siobhan coming form Gouda in the Netherlands to work with us in June. She did wonderful work with us Ladies and then with the men too :)

For August we had:-

KOREY WEEK 2010

25th August - 31st August 2010

This week had many private classes and opportunities for practice, along with two workshops that were open to all levels and two workshops for those with a bit more experience and of course the wonderful ‘Men’s Technique’ afternoon with pub visit to round it off before a somewhat fab Milonga in the evening :)


For June we had:-

Siobhan and Women’s technique, which we took into wraps and and then into playing with the rhythm in cross system. Beautiful small movements creating yummy results :)

What a FANTASTIC  weekend this was, centered around the women’s technique class, with the women working very hard and taking their part in the partnership.

We are working on an early Spring return trip.


FOR MAY :- We had a whole day for tango - very enjoyable is was too, much beautiful dancing. The Musical Cross Class was an absolute joy - thank-you.
