What's on at Bramshaw

"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

"Movement is the door to learning"

Paul Dennison

"We have hosted maestros like Gustavo Naveira & Fabian Salas at La Rogaia, but your musicality workshops are the best I have experienced"

Wolfgang Sandt on Steve Morrall's workshops on tango musicality at La Rogaia.




As a Curriculum Team leader with 30 years teaching experience it’s hard during these events not to slip into ‘Ofsted’ mode and start to assess the quality of the experience offered. So if I was to assess a Bramshaw Tango Tangk weekend how would I grade it? Simple, I would award it top marks in every category - an Ofsted Outstanding!

"Tango Tangk"© Tango UK 2004-2012
Immerse yourself in a weekend of Tango


We are proud to present our 2012 dates for Tango Tangk
weekend workshops and social events at Bramshaw.


The Tango Tangk weekend now provides a range of workshops to suit all levels of dancers from intermediate to advanced levels.
Please note the event is not suitable for beginners. WEEKEND FORMAT | 2012 CALENDAR

Alongside the workshops in the main hall with the visiting teachers, the weekend also offers advanced musicality classes with Steve Morrall in the dance studio on Saturday. These can be booked as individual days. BOOK

To make the event more accessible and flexible in 2012, we have added pre-milonga drop-in classes with the visiting teachers on Friday and Saturday night aimed at improvers upwards. These cost £10 per person and do not need to be booked, nor do you need to have a partner.

The new format Tango Tangk offers much more dancing. On Saturday afternoon the Tango Café and Saturday evening milonga provide a back-to-back opportunity for 8 hours of dancing!
(Buy a combined café and milonga ticket for £12). There are milongas on Friday and Saturday evenings and on Sunday there is a Tango Café from 4pm - 8pm.  The new format weekend finishes at 8pm on Sunday evening.

If you book the whole weekend, you will benefit from four progressive and themed workshops with the visiting maestros. All our teachers agree this format is unique in the UK and enables them to delve deeply into the technique, style and musicality of this beautiful dance.

The feedback we hear about these weekends at Bramshaw is always positive - you can read more of these quotes for yourself: FEEDBACK.

We try to balance numbers using our booking process. If you want to be assured of a partner, please make sure you book with one. There are a limited number of solo places available for the weekend but if you book with a partner we offer a discounted price.

Once a year, we will offer the most accomplished dancers a high-level workshop called a Super Tangk, and admittance to this will be by invitation only to dancers whose technique, style and musicality have reached the required level of accomplishment and understanding.

For ladies wanting to improve their technique in order to progress beyond moving simply as a 'follower' in the embrace, we have two workshops with beautiful, inspirational teachers, both from Berlin. See Mabel Rivero in April and Ines Moussavi in September in the schedule below. BOOKING

May 26 Leading Ladies with Steve Morrall
We offer two 90 minutes sessions as an alternative to the simplistic notion of 'lead and follow' in tango. At Tango UK, we teach that the process is much more about invitation and repsonse. It is a form of non-verbal creative dialogue and like any conversation it requires context, articulation, eloquence, expression and knowing when to 'speak' and when to 'listen' to make it understandable.
You will learn how to 'talk tango' in the man's role (what other people would call 'leading'), and you can also gain confidence when dancing in the woman's role through an increased awareness of what the man is (or isn't) doing.
