15 October 2002	Komala Vos - Vals Our visiting teacher will give a Tango Vals (Waltz) lesson.

01 October 2002	Pilates Workshop. This will be a taster of Pilates. Please arrive in comfortable clothes as you will be lying on matts (these will be supplied) on the floor. Pilates is an exercise method that is very complimentary to tango dancing. We will have a guest instructor giving this workshop. For more information click here If you can bring along a matt that would be very helpful as we will not have enough, otherwise.
24 September 2002	Aesthetic of Tango How to make the dance look good. "Why bother?", you might say as you like to feel good when dancing, well it is useful for you dancing to look nice when you go to dance in a new place so that people ask you, and you do not get refused when you ask others.
17 September 2002	Biljana - visiting teacher from London A very creative teacher who uses concepts to teach tango. She was also my first teacher (Mike) and gave me a very good start with tango by teaching connection, music and movement from the beginning.
10 September 2002	Close Embrace 3 Some more advanced and very particular close embrace things.
03 September 2002	Close Embrace 2 Ochos and turns.
27 August 2002	Close Embrace 1 This is a very beautiful way to dance with a close and intense connection. Some people say that it is only tango dancing when you dance in close embrace, and with good reason as it is lovely. Dancing in close embrace is also good to know as in most more established tango communities (10 years and more)a good half of the people will dance in close embrace all of the time (such as in Berlin, London, Portland, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Nijmegen, Copenhagen, Malmo, Lund). In this first class we will look at posture, weight change and walk and maybe with a wee surprise at the end.
20 August 2002	X-steps 3 We will work upon the back closed X-steps in this class, possibly with some revision of the front X-steps. Then we'll look at what you can do with the back X-steps.
13 August 2002	X-steps 2 Revise how to lead and follow the fron closed X-steps. Using the 2 closed forwards X-steps for tango fun.
06 August 2002	X-steps 1 We are always being asked about "The Cross", that is step 5 of the boring Basic 8. "The Cross" is only one possible closed X-step in tango. We will first learn how to lead and follow these subtle movements and to incorporate them into improvised dancing. We will cover the 2 closed forwards X-steps in this class. We will then run through the Basic 8, because the majority of tango teachers throughout the world use it.
30 July 2002	Alterations (3rd in a series of 3 classes)
