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.

Date(s): Wednesdays up to and including 10 December 2014
Time: 5-7pm

It would be good to see all those who attended the course with Paul, to refresh and improve the steps and information that was passed to us, and also to practice a bit of dancing. Newcomers are also welcome to join the group.

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!
