Greetings tango lovers, I hope you are looking forward to the Tango weekend in Hampshire as much as we are!  Here is some information that I hope you will find useful;

The weekend is centered around the lovely village of  Selborne.  Selborne is located between the A3 and the A31 on the B3006. It is signposted from both the A31 (Guildford - Winchester road) and the A3 (London - Portsmouth road). The B3006 runs straight through the village.  Outside the village it is called Selborne Road, within the village it changes its name to High Street.  The drive usually takes about an hour and a half from Dulwich.

The nearest railway station is at Alton, about 5 miles to the North of Selborne. There is a taxi company next to Alton station.

Adrian and Amanda distill the essence of Salon tango in a profound and delicious way, honoring their maestros and passing on a great heritage with elegance, feeling, clarity and generosity.

The Costa’s will be teaching our regular weekly classes on Tues  5^th& Tues 12^th  October, 7 30 til 9 30 pm.

(price=20 pounds)

Tuesday 5^th (9 30- 11 30pm) will also include a Tango music quiz in the Constitutional hall lounge hosted by A&A. You are invited to bring a dish to share, and drinks will be served at the bar!

No need to book for any of the above, just turn up at The Constitutional hall, 33 East Dulwich Grove, SE22  8PW.

A&A will be teaching on the weekend of 9^th/10^th October at TSL’s in Selborne, Hampshire. These workshops are nearly full, with a few places left for leaders on Sat, and a few for leaders & couples on Sunday. Of course you are all welcome to join our Ball in Selborne hall (8 30-12pm, £12), Sat 9^th October, with Dj’ing and performance by Adrian and Amanda Costa.

 Do contact Judith if you want any info re booking: tangosouthlondon@yahoo.co.uk

 In order to get into shape for their visit (and their quiz!), we will be introducing a different orchestra in our regular weekly classes in the runup, and summarizing some of the essential elements taught on the tango holiday as well as including some new material. Orchestras in sept classes: 7th D\'Arienzo,8^th Miguel Calo, 14^th  Tanturi, 15^th   D’Agostino, 21^st   Troilo, 22^nd  Di Sarli,28^th   Pugliese,29th Laurenz. If you want more details of specific songs that will be used, please look up on website .

 All  details for above in news section of  www.tangosouthlondon.co.uk

Adrian and Amanda will be teaching all over London, so my suggestion is you stalk them wherever they go (but then thats me and my passion for Tango de Salon y fantasia con lo mejor del estillo de Villa Urquiza!). xx

If you fancy some deliciously decadent, soulful and musical theatre with Tango (of course!) check out Teatro Vivo\'s \'Hothouse\' production. I have been happy to collaborate with them with some choreography, and although I have not yet seen the whole thing (I will be going to see them on 17th Sept), I liked their pluck and verve! The Horniman glass conservatory is a beautiful venue, and their reviews are excellent.

 Special tango class next Sunday 26th April, 2-4pm.  Improver/intermediate. (No beginners this time, sorry!)
 
I wanted to take full advantage of Sandra and Loyd\'s teaching, who as you might know already, will be teaching the milonga class at 7 15pm, and performing later in our ball . I have therefore set up an extra class with them, focusing on Tango rytmico, and especially looking at decorations, and how men and women can allow for them!
 
Sandra and Loyd have set up a successful tango school in Birmingham, (www.tangoinbrum.co.uk) and have been teaching and performing their truely authentic salon tango with an emphasis on style and detail. Most recent performances include at Corrientes, and they have been invited to perform in the opening Milonga of an International Tango Festival in Italy (Tango d\'Abrazo - Summer 2009), were the invitees names include the worldwide famous Javier Rodriguez & Andrea Misse, Sergio Natario & ALejandra Arrue. 
Examples of their performances which are always improvised!

Sandra and Loyd have studied intensively with my great teacher, Andrea Misse, and the amazing Javier Rodriguez. I think we will get a good insight as to how these great teachers are currently developing their style through S&l, as well as their synthesis of the other great teachers they often work with in Buenos Aires.
 
The price will be £15 for 2 hours.
The venue is our usual Constitiutional Hall, 33 East Dulwich Grove, SE22 8PW.
 
Please let me know asap if you want to register - you will need to reserve a place, as I am endeavouring to have even number of men and women.
 
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
