Dear TLC Tangueros
This is a very quick note to let you know that I won’t be teaching tonight (Weds 28 July), as I have to teach Salsa instead at very short notice, so I do apologise. Catch me on a Tuesday for all my top tips instead!
Format change - If you haven’t been for a little while, we have changed the format over July and August, so please take note of the details below.
Pete is now teaching the Level 2 class both on a Tuesday and a Weds. and both start at 7.45pm until the end of August.
His Weds class will be revising technique to the Level 2’s and 3’s, and if you have a specific problem with a move or your dancing, then please tell him before the class and he will incorporate this into his lesson plan for you.
Beginners Tango Taster night - I am having another Tango Taster night on Weds 1st September, so please tell all your friends or family who wish to experience the magic! Full details are below and flyers will be available next week. If you recommend a friend to come, please ask them to mention your name when they arrive, and you will be given free entry for one Tango class at TLC!
TLC Car Window Sticker – With apologies for the delay to put all this together, but the finalists will be on show next week and you can vote for your choice (thank you to Paul for his display board)
