Three sequentially themed workshops will take your dancing to the next level. Followed by food and a milonga - neo style.
Our event will be held at the lovely St Johns church in sunny Nottingham.
The program is designed to appeal to anyone who loves fluid and dramatic tango.

Workshop Leaders
Lorenzo&Ganka - long time itinerant neo tango lovers who have brought the European neo ethos to the East Midlands and been a pivotal part of growing the neo and alt scene through their Creative Tango Nottingham collaboration -teaching, DJing and promoting a new neo approach to tango.
Chris&Alison from Urban Tango Nights will be leading two of the workshops - they have been gaining a well deserved name for themselves as teachers from the Isle of Wight to Yorkshire, and South Wales to Essex. We are delighted to welcome them back to Nottingham
