Creative Caminito Argentine Tango Music & Dance Fun Day in West Totton!

We are delighted to be funded by Culture in Common & the Arts Council for this event. This is a one day event only designed to give amateur musicians & semi-pros the opportunity to play, dance and listen to Argentine tango music. Tango is a wonderful creative universe that is not well-known in the Uk. This event aims to bring music and dance amateurs together to create community and have a fun day in this artistic genre!

The music teachers will be Mirek Salmon (bandoneon) and Carola Hengstenberg (violin), who direct the Bristol Community Tango Orchestra, will run the tango orchestra rehearsal from 10 - 3pm, and will be providing the live music performance set at 5:30pm.

Tracie Gooch from Southampton, who runs the dance school Tracie's Latin Club will be giving a beginners dance class (4 - 5pm)to share a glimpse into the beautiful dance!

Info: The tango orchestra rehearsal . You will learn how to play different pieces and instrumental techniques in tango style. The repertoire will include some classics such as Canaro - El Choclo, De Caro - Derecho Viejo, Gardel - Por Una Cabeza, Firpo - La Cumparsita, Piazzolla - Oblivion
and Di Sarli Comme Il Faut.
There will be a break for lunch 12 - 1pm, as well as breaks when needed during the session. All music will be sent in advance and adaptations made to suit different levels. If you did do any music exams (ABRSM, Trinity etc) do let us know so we can have a better idea of levels. This event is a one day version of other projects we run in London, Bristol and Leeds, which you can find out more about on here www.creativecaminito.org

Info: This is a 1h beginners dance class to show you some of the basic moves and how fun the dance is.
