All under one roof in the fabulous Derwent Hotel, TORQUAY
This is a 3 night hotel based weekend packed full of Argentine Tango and Blues dance. High quality workshops with world class teachers run throughout Saturday and Sunday. Includes 3 nights of social dance with simply the best DJs running late into the night - there are 3 evening venues to cater for Traditional Tango, Tango Nuevo, and Blues.

Tango Nuevo - Jean-Marc Vandel, Paul Anderson
Tango Traditional - Mabel Gomez, Jonathan Melville-Smith
Blues - Myra Hales, John Dunlop
Tango workshops range all the way from fast beginner up to advanced so plenty for everyone. Please note that fast beginner means that if you are a beginner you’ll have to learn fast. Blues workshops are for all levels.
And for a bit of added excitement / entertainment on Sunday night we have the one and only Rock Bottoms Tango competition judged by a selection of our prestigious teachers. Free to enter - trophies for the winners.
Your weekend package includes en-suite accommodation for three nights in this lovely hotel. You get breakfast and 3 course evening meals. Price includes all workshops and evening dances (including entertainment), and full use of the hotel facilities including swimming pool.
All of this for £310pp based on 2 sharing. There are places still available, but in order to balance numbers we are unable to accept follow only bookings. For bookings, see website booking form at www.rockbottoms.com. If you have further questions, please call Hev on 07967 904096
