When we first booked Eider, Caterine and Luisa for GBSEx, we didn’t expect Tango to be quite as popular as it turned out. No doubt the excellence of these 3 dancers in part explains the popularity - they really are amazing and true ambassadors of the dance. Their Tango classes sold out at GBSEx I and II, and their shows simply left us awe-struck.
This year, Eider and Luisa are back and joined by two of the UK’s top Tango teachers, Joel Daou and Bill Newby. We’ve got 3 levels of Tango classes and on Saturday night we’ve got a Milonga party running alongside the salsa parties, in the Conference Hall.
Tango Workshops @ GBSEx
* Beginners Tango | Saturday @ 1.30pm | Eider & Luisa
