Strictly Tango in September  
Another chance to get your friends to dance or for you to brush up the basics or take your next steps.
Strictly Tango courses are three consecutive lessons, 2 hours each Saturday. There are two levels:

Beginners
for those with no knowledge or wanting to start again with the basics.
Recent Beginners
ideal if you have recently done our Beginners course or learnt a little and want to improve your technique and understanding. You don't have to bring a partner.

New Event in October  
Tango Treasure

In October we will run our first Tango Treasure event. This will have all sorts of items that are too good to just throw out, and might be just what you are looking for, especially as Christmas won't be far off.
The afternoon will be a lot of fun with music, refreshments & video to make it a memorable event and, we hope, the first of many.

Not just for tango and dance related items, categories will include:

  • Shoes, Hats & Clothes
  • CDs, Books & Videos
  • Household Items
  • Cakes and Crafts
  • ... and much more ...

Come and rummage through all sorts of paraphernalia to find a bargain.
You can also bring your own items. There will be two ways: you can bring them for the Club to sell them on your behalf; or, if you wish to support The Tango Club, you can donate them.

More details soon.

 
Do you have shoes that don't fit, are the wrong colour and are hardly, or never worn?

Perhaps you have "outgrown" that lovely dress?

And maybe you have a CD, a gift but you already had a copy?

 

Don't throw anything out, start a treasure box instead!
