8th August - Tango class at Heaton Park Social club

You may remember that a while ago we had a tango demonstration during a modern jive night. We finally got round to trying a tango lesson for ourselves. Chris gave me a lift there and we found the place quite easily. The lessons were in the function room downstairs which had a good-sized dance floor. The teachers were two young women - Lucy and Andrea (who is Venezuelan). I was surprised to see that I recognised a few of the other dancers from Jive class. It took me a little while to relax and get used to a new style of dancing, but the teachers were helpful and showed me where I was going wrong. We stayed to watch the intermediate class and I was quite impressed by some of the dancing. We have decided that we will go back again next week. Andrea says she is going to be teaching at La Tasca from Sunday onwards so we may go there sometime.
