No special clothes are required, and you will not put your hands or bottom on the floor. We have yoga mats. It is easy but it will warm you up. It is best without shoes on.
At 6pm Sharon Waterson will lead us through a Tango class designed to include complete newbies to Tango. Introduced to tango pre 2000 in Perth, Sharon has focussed on tango since her first trip to Buenos Aires in 2005. Having studied with different schools and teachers, learning tango through the ages from canyengue, traditional to contemporary, Sharon gained a teaching certificate in tango in 2009. Since then she has taught in many states within Australia. Her approach to teaching is building on strong techniques and principles, to develop a deeply connected dance to music, culture and a little fun. You do not need to bring a partner to do the Tango class.
At 7pm Gerard , will open the floor for social Dancing with his mix of modern Orchestras, traditional and Golden Age orchestras and some alternative, New Tangos.
