"The
dancers body is simply
the luminous manifestation of their soul. This is the truly creative
dancer, natural but not imitative, speaking in movement out of self and
out of something greater than all selves"

The last two special events have sold out in hours, and many people
have asked how they can be kept informed so they don't |

miss out on any of our events with visiting teachers.
We send out a

NEW at Super Tangk Weekend September 24-26:
Dance Only (no workshops) tickets available...
Join in this weekend event with over
30
hours of dancing for £35.
The dance studio will be open during the day for dancers who want to
share the weekend but not attend the workshops. There is a milonga
every evening (Fri-Sun) with dancing in two rooms. Neotango in the 124
sqm Dance Studio and Traditional Tango in the 150 sqm Main Hall.
Thursday Night Advanced
Musicality Classes
The
dance studio at Bramshaw equipped with state of the art teaching aids,
including a live video feed with a time delay and a digital projector.
Music and musicality play a big part in the curriculum here at Bramshaw
and the grand piano and bandoneon feature live in musicality classes.
Over the next few month, Steve will be teaching advanced musicality on
Thursday evenings from 8pm - 10pm, covering tango, vals and milonga
rhythm, followed by a guide to the different styles of tango orchestras
and the way these styles can influence our dance and movement. Students
have access to lesson notes as an aide memoire. NOTES
There is only one Video Bodyshop in 2010
This
highly acclaimed video based training session for tango dancers will
take place on 23 October 2010 with places for only 10 couples. Are you
ready to see yourself dance - it is a powerful tool for
self-improvement as you strive towards authentic movement. MORE

Tango
Tangk Raises the Bar
A good friend and
music maestro once
told me "people seem to have forgotten how to humble themselves to a
learning process". I have been reminded of his comments as we implement
a specific level of technique for dancers wanting to attend a Tango
Tangk.
Most dancers accept and trust our decision about their ability, but
some react as though we have insulted or humiliated them. Humility and
effective learning go hand in hand, and sadly, dancers who have not yet
made this connection compromise their ability to improve their
dance.

 Tango is about sharing
To
help reduce our
carbon footprint, we will reward any driver who brings additional
passengers in his/her car with an additional loyalty stamp for every
passenger.
A loyalty card filled with 10 stamps can be redeemed for the price of a
milonga entry.
Steve
and Debbie also recommend www.liftshare.org
to share car journeys and cut costs.
After joining this free service, members simply register their journey
and the system lists all potential matching
journeys. The matches are displayed in both table and map format,
allowing the user to easily find the most suitable people.
Having found a match the user simply sends an automated email to any
likely matches and arranges to travel together. JOIN

It
is with great pleasure that we have
been asked to write an endorsement for Happy Tango,
a book written by Sallycat, a dancer who started to learn tango in
Southampton and Bramshaw.
If you are planning a trip to Argentina, this beautifully written book
will be an invaluable tool to help you get the most out of Buenos
Aires. Do not plan your trip without reading it.
Happy Tango is written by a woman who was brave enough to chase her
dreams, to move her life to another continent, and by chance to fall in
love. You can follow Sallycat's story in her heart-felt blog. BLOG
We have often said that Argentine Tango should carry a health warning
as it really can change lives. Here is the proof! AMAZON
