Tango Newport

We are a social, non commercial, community minded Argentine Tango dance group who extend a welcome to everyone; A relaxed environment; Friends of Tango for Tango friends. We also DJ Tango events for other groups just for the fun of it.

Objectives :
To encourage, promote and develop the art and culture of Argentine Tango dancing within the community of the West Midlands; and to provide a facility for the purpose of recreation, amusement, learning and dance practise for the tango community.

Teachers:
Bruce and Tricia Cannon have been dancing Tango Argentino for more than 25 years. They have learned and practised their Tango in UK, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Prague, New Zealand  and Australia.  They bring their own teaching methods developed over the last 20 years or so - 5 of those years as principal teachers at the Perth Tango Club in Western Australia.  Their approach is to get you to relax and enjoy this wonderful dance, and they manage to get you dancing enjoyably very early on in your Tango journey.

Atmosphere:
A relaxed environment, sharing the enthusiasm for all things Tango.

Located at Cosy Hall, Water Lane, Newport, Shropshire TF10 7LD.

Classes are run on Thursday evenings from 7.30pm. to 9:30 or 10.30pm (depending on demand).  We also hold regular milongas.  For a listing of current activities - please check the Calendar.

Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned Tanguero/Tanguera feel free to come along to Cosy Hall. There's no need to bring a partner, although they are more than welcome, just bring some shoes that don't stick to the floor when you pivot.

We are dedicated to dancing, promoting and developing Argentine Tango as a social dance.  Because of the pleasure we have found in dancing Tango, we are enthusiastic and passionate about sharing it with anyone who wants to learn and experience the many facets of Argentine Tango within the general etiquette of the Buenos Aires milongas.

We practice the social style of Argentine Tango.  In contrast to stage or 'medal' tango, the social dance is entirely improvised. Our classes are designed to have you dancing socially as soon as possible. The emphasis is on the 'connection' between the leader and follower, musicality, and improvisation.  We have taught people of many nationalities whilst in Perth, and have nurtured a common love of Tango amongst them all.
