It is best without shoes on. We have yoga mats. You could bring a spare pair of socks if you want so as to keep your toes clean.
At 6pm Sharon Waterson will lead us through a Tango class designed to include complete newbies to Tango. Introduced to tango pre 2000 in Perth, Sharon has focussed on tango since 2005 since her first trip to Buenos Aires. Having studied with different schools and teachers learning tango through the ages from canyengue, traditional to contemporary, Sharon gained a teaching certificate in tango in 2009. Since then she has taught in many states within Australia. Her approach to teaching is building on strong techniques and principles, to develop a deeply connected dance to music, culture and a little fun. You do not need to bring a partner to do the Tango class.You do not need to bring a partner to do the Tango class.
