thames vallery tango - argentinian tango lessons and events

 

Easter Tango is 3 days of Tango dancing and lessons with our special guest teachers: Jenny Frances & Ricardo Oria

 

Since beginning to work together in 2002, Jenny Frances and Ricardo Oria have performed and taught all over the UK, in Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, France and in Argentina. They have developed a reputation as one of the leading Tango couples in the UK. Expressive and spontaneous in performance, detailed and engaged in teaching, their dance has been described as ‘stunning work of elegant movement and feeling’ (Fringe Report). Jenny and Ricardo seek the timeless elements of Tango - always creative and in tune with the dance's improvised nature. They travel regularly to Buenos Aires to further develop their dance and teaching.


The numbers of leaders and followers for the Easter Tango group lessons is balanced to ensure the quality of the lessons, so we ask you to book with a dance partner (we keep a list of dancers seeking a partner to book for the event).

 

The lessons are designed for dancers with suitable experience and ability; as a guide, at least 12 months regular lessons and practice is required. We expect everyone to change partners regularly during the group lessons.
