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
