This is two separate Rhapsody Events starting with a Mingle event followed by a Freestyle.
It starts with two and a half hours of Nuevo/Neo/Alt Tango music from 12:00 to 2:30pm. It's not a Milonga so no tandas, no cortinas, and no cabaceo but there is still a line of dance. Any dancers not dancing Tango should keep to the centre of the floor to allow the Tango dancers to circulate with an anti-clockwise line of dance around the outside of the floor.
This will be followed by a 4 hour Rhapsody Freestyle of usual Rhapsody Style music which starts at 2:30.
Rhapsody ('ræps?d? )
?Definitions, noun, (plural) -rhapsodies
1. a musical composition of irregular form having an improvisation character.
2. an expression of ecstatic enthusiasm.
3. A state of elated bliss; ecstasy.
Rhapsody has evolved out of a desire to have Modern Blues dancing available in the Southern UK area on a regular basis. The music played is atmospheric and evocative and is chosen to enable dancers to express their musicality.
All participants should pre-book via the website at http://rhapsodyinblues.com/calendar.html. Note: Bookings should be made for both Mingle and Freestyle separately on the website as they are separate events..
Note : This event is not a Traditional Blues dancing event and although the music played includes some Blues music, it also embraces many other genres.
