Winter Ball 2014
We are still on a high from our Winter Ball at the end of 2014. The event was a sell-out and £1,000’s were raised for children’s charities in Argentina and the UK.
The Old Finsbury Town Hall, Islington, was magically lit and filled with the haunting notes of top bandoneon player, Victor Villena, accompanied by the tango quartet, Los Mareados.
Tango Technique
A fresh year, a fresh start! Let’s clarify, polish and go deeper into tango technique, opening the door to greater balance, control and elegance.
Although technique for both roles in tango has a lot o in common, David will give some additional pointers to the leaders, and Kim in turn will give guidance to the followers!
Our Annual Event
We’re just coming back down to earth after our Winter Ball on Saturday 29 November.
The event was a sell-out and we couldn’t be more grateful to all our wonderful students and friends for helping to create such a wonderful atmosphere and helping us raise money for children in need in Argentina and in the UK.
From Buenos Aires to the World
“Buenos Dias” I call out as I climb into the back of the black and yellow taxi cab, escaping the merciless Buenos Aires sun.
I tell the driver my destination and wait for the inevitable “De donde sos?” – ‘Where are you from?”. I have been speaking Spanish every day for the last 12 years but Iʼve never been able to hide my accent. Disappointingly, Iʼm usually caught out with just two words!
Our Student Shows
Every year, a small group of Tango Movement students get together a few months before our Winter Ball to start preparing for our Student Show.
The Tango Movement Student Show has gone from strength to strength since its start in 2010 and we think it’s the best of itʼs kind in the UK! It has also become one of the highlights of our Winter Ball.
