thames vallery tango - argentinian tango lessons and events

"I would just love to thank you as it was the greatest feeling in the world. I never thought I would be able to learn Tango as it always looked so complicated. You and your partner danced beautifully, and I only hope that one day I will be even half as good. Thank you again ; you are a great teacher."

 

"Really great lesson tonight, thank you very much. I found it really useful and had some great dances, too. All the leaders I danced with seemed to be really making use of it. Words fail me, but it felt great, thank you."

 

"Thank you for a brilliant evening. It is a long time since I enjoyed an evening so much."

 

"lively, fun (light-hearted and informal). It may have been down to the size of the room, the people or the hosts (or all three!). I'm excited. I've found a good venue, marvellous teachers and a decent crowd of dancers."

 

"A great teacher! It's one thing to dance - it's quite another to teach in a very sensory way. I've had great fun and learned lots from you. Should I leave the area, I'll take tango with me and the connections that brings"

 

"Just to say thank you for a lovely evening. We are both enjoying our classes very much - always feel sad when its time to leave, but tonight it was really special"

 

"The pace of teaching is about perfect. The two-handed teaching approach works really nicely. The overall cheerfulness and banter between you lightens the atmosphere, which could otherwise get quite serious and classroom-like"

 

"Spectacular lesson last night, thank you. We both learned a lot and look forward to continuing to put it into practice. Thanks"

 

"I really like the atmosphere and relaxed approach that you encourage during the classes. It makes learning so much easier"

 

"Really ace classes yesterday and today - feet are aching like mad, but it is worth it."

 

"I enjoyed the first lesson, and enjoyed the 2nd even better! You and your partner are excellent teachers and it is a real privilege to attend the class"

 

"i loved my Tango lessons... long live Tango. You are both fab..."

 

"Thames Valley Tango provides a really excellent social outlet for many of us and I for one have made many friends through it and it has revolutionised my social life.  I find that the terrific supportive atmosphere at all the classes is just brilliant."

 

"you are 100 percent committed, focused, passionate, treat us like important customers, are creative, tolerant, fun and inspirational. You are doing a great job"

 

"just wanted to say how much I enjoyed my first week.. didn't know what to expect, but really pleased I came.."

 

"Just wanted to say thank you for encouraging me at the Milonga last night... I made it. And enjoyed myself. So thanks again for being a great teacher and very patient with the likes of me"

 

"I want to say thank you for the sheer enjoyment of my first, dancing, Milonga. I did it! not well yet but, early days. I have never danced before other than the stand alone 60's style and a fair bit of rock and roll so Tango, in so many ways, is a first for me. Last night I improved my "moves" to the point that I felt like I was dancing, and .. I also understood and used them to manage the floor... So I have booked my next private lesson and will continue even more determined to be as good as I can be. Thank you for your teaching and encouragement"

 

"For some I have been disappointed with myself that I could not pin down Volcadas. The lesson with Irena and you last Sunday was really helpful to me. Last night Where I think I would have struggled a couple of weeks ago, I was able to sail through with confidence and at the milonga used the lesson successfully with several partners who had not been at the lesson. So thank you to you both for such a good lesson for me."

 

"Thank you so much for a really great start to tango last night. I loved it! I thought your teaching style was excellent, and it was a really friendly atmosphere...let's just hope I can remember it all for next week. I think I have been bitten by the tango bug already!!!"

 

"How wrong can I be?  A while ago I would have known, for certain, that I would be too embarrassed to dance tango, and on a bridge, in public! that wasn't  going to happen. And then there was last night. Not even the weather could in any way detract from the magic of that experience and while I didn't dance at every opportunity I watched the watchers, those that I had feared the most, and they were being entertained. They were not there to criticise and gawp. They were enjoying a night at the theatre - and they applauded. How could I be part of that and not simply enjoy it? So - Thank you, once again."

 

"Many thanks for your infinite patience and for making my Tango classes and private lessons such a pleasure"

 

"Thank you ... For the instruction, the company, the friendship and the sheer joy of Tango. Thames Valley Tango has given me so much more than I pay for."
