Warming up session with Paul Holland on 13 February 2015

Before the milonga event on the 13 of February 2015, in the Arts Centre, there will be a pre-milonga workshop at 5:30pm - 7pm (led by Paul Holland, for all levels) in the Arts Centre Studio where the Milonga shall take place (from 7.45pm). The price is £5. Either if you are attending the workshop only or you also stay for the milonga you should buy the ticket from the Arts Centre ticket office.
This means that Workshop + Milonga is £5; Milonga only is £5.

Milonga on 13 Friday 2015

We are organising a Milonga in the Arts Centre on the 13th of February 2015. This is a great opportunity to dance and meet other people who may want to join the tango community in Aberystwyth for a social event. Everybody is welcome! Dancers and non-dancers may have a chance to enjoy tango music, socialise and maybe develop further interest in this exciting dance style.
Please, see below for further information.

Exciting news--and changing of the guard...

Dear all
First of all the exciting news. We are in the process of organising our first Milonga in conjunction with Aberystwyth Arts Centre. It will be held on Friday 13 February 2015, in the round Studio next to the bar on the top floor of the Arts Centre. Do put the date in your diary, and spread the word. Tickets will be available at £6 from the Arts Centre box office. The studio is a fabulous space, with a wonderful floor, and traditional music will be provided by Paul Holland.

Eight years ago Steve Wade, who founded AberTango along with Andrew, passed the key on to me.  The time has come for me to pass it on in my turn, and Marco Odello has kindly agree to take over with support from Karoline Gritzner.  They will be in touch with everyone shortly about forthcoming events.

Many thanks for all your support: Linda and Wayne for being part of the club all the way through; other regulars across the years, too numerous to list, but whose support was invaluable in keeping the group alive and thriving; Felix and Isabel for their work as our resident teachers; Paul and Lara for recent classes and workshops; and most of all Steve Wade for turning up every week and keeping us sane--and for his wonderful dancing!
