Who's going to the NZ Tango Festival? 

Normally this site only publicises Australian tango events but making an exception here...

If you can make it to Wellington in late June / early July, seriously consider this festival which is known as 'the friendliest little tango (not so little these days) festival in the world.' I am so looking forward to it! 

The festival runs from 23rd June to 1st July. Main events are in the last weekend (26th - 28th June) 

The line-up of guest artists direct from Argentina consists of:
  • Ariadne Naveira and Fernando Sanchez
  • Maria Ines Bogado and Sebastian Jiminez
  • Maria Plazola
  • Sebastian Arrua and Karin Solana

This fantastic festival is on my 'Must Do' list!

There is a special rate for the recommended hotel which is close to the workshop venues and the best place to mix and mingle with other out of towners. Be warned that the class sizes of immersion courses are limited and the hotel tend to book out early, so best to get in early.

Special payment arrangement: To make things easier on the pocket when you register for your Festival Pass in February you only need to pay for the first half of the amount straight away with the rest not due until early May.

Ney Melo Workshops in Melbourne: Feb 7 - 10

posted Jan 28, 2014, 1:22 AM by Sophia de Lautour   [ updated Dec 9, 2014, 4:12 AM ]

Back in a previous incarnation (whilst running Patio de Tango) I hosted Ney's first trip to Oz and the workshops were incredibly popular, such that we invited him back a year later. On the second visit he was accompanied by his beautiful dance and life partner, Jennifer Bratt. 

Ney is a very charismatic and experienced teacher, and because he is so entertaining and knowledgeable what you learn in his workshops stays with you. His lessons are very memorable. That's one of Ney's special gifts as a teacher and I highly recommend him as a teacher. Ney will also be touring other parts of Oz and for more details visit the site of the tour organiser-  Tango Butterfly. Thank you Dana of Tango Butterfly for bringing Ney back to Oz!
