"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"

Isadora Duncan

Every Thursday night, and on special weekend dates, Steve Morrall leads classes that focus on using the music as inspiration for improvised movement.
Michelle and Murat Erdemsel joined us for our class on Vals recently and Michelle posted this quote on facebook on May 2:
"If you live close by Bramshaw, I highly recommend attending these musicality workshops. Every Thursday!! I wish I could take advantage of it myself!"

MILONGA UNO! THE PARTY MILONGA

Milonga Uno happens every 2nd Friday of the month, 8pm - midnight.

There is so much choice for dancing argentine tango socially these days if you are a confident dancer. For the last few years we have observed beginners and recent beginners try a milonga or tea dance once or twice and then give up. The problem is the seniors in the dance community are getting better and better but from a beginners' perspective 'better and better' is perceived as  'intimidating and exclusive'.

A dancer who was a regular tango dancer 7 years ago, dropped in recently to say hello and commented on how much the scene had changed, saying "You know Steve, it's not as much fun as it used to be". That got me thinking.....

Milonga Uno is designed to be fun. It is not in any way a traditional milonga - we offer this format on other nights, as do most other organisers. Milonga Uno is for people who enjoy dancing, having fun and going out for a great social evening. The music is skillfully mixed by Steve to include some real gems of Argentine tango, vals and milonga, but more than 70% of the playlist will be alternative, modern music that tango dancers can connect rhythmically to. MILONGA UNO SOUNDS

There are no tandas (a collection of 3 or 4 tracks followed by a cortina). Music is played track by track to encourage dancers to dance one track at a time instead of adhering to the 'finish the tanda whatever happens rule'. Its a party, not a trial by jury!

With this eclectic, esoteric mix of music, you are likely to hear some tracks that you don't want to dance to. Take a seat and socialise, the next track is less than 4 minutes away.

Hot and cold drinks and snacks are provided and the fun starts at 8pm and goes on until midnight. If you are getting a little bored by your dance, or are a tango newbie who wants to gain confidence while having fun, or if you simply love to dance, Milonga Uno is perfect for you.
