style and its music. Two of the UK's most popular performers
and teachers, Jenny Frances and Zicardo Oria, will give exhibition
dances and some experienced dancers from Glasgow will help
demonstrate some of the basic "tango moves". A four-piece
ensemble called Libertango will perform for part of the evening.
This is a dance (a milonga) so come prepared to have a go.
Dress is optional - milongas can be quite flashy affairs.
Most important, wear shoes that allow your feet to slide with
leather or smooth soles.
There is a beginners class in the afternoon at the Church
Hall from 3:00-4:00PM. This will enable novices to pick up
the basic steps for the evening milonga.
