Unfortunately, due to low commitment rates, the Tango Practica + Classes on Fridays in Murwillumbah will be cancelled until further notice. I have asked Gary & Peter if they would like to continue Tango in Murwillumbah in some way, and they are working on something. So please stay tuned if you are interested ...

Tango is an experience like no other.
And every Tango is different.

It is creation, in the moment. The sum of two people sharing an intimate space, with structures to keep you interacting within a boundary, an embrace.

Every tango is different, it is like no other.

🌹💃🕺 INTRODUCING TANGO 🫶😍
to new people, is one of my very favourite things to do.

There is nothing more special than a person's first class.
Especially when they come to realise that TANGO,
is not what they were expecting.

I've had a really long journey in Tango as a single woman.
There have been times where I wished I wasn't.

Multiple times I've had the experience of feeling a connection in Tango, beyond the ordinary. Only to have the moment melt into reality, where my partner is actually already involved with somebody else.

OR, they are one of "those" guys.
The type with very few boundaries around their seggsual energy. Loose and engaging, until it comes to real life!

A few times, I've let me own needy-energy melt away my own boundaries only to find myself entangled in something icky and unworthy.

At other times, I've simply felt invaded by my partner's lack of emotional boundaries and a few times, left the floor feeling mauled by greedy hands :(

Overall, Tango has nearly, nearly always been entangled with romantic, polarised and seggsual energy.

Which makes sense ... except then,
circumstances had me begin to lead in milongas (social dances).

An injury with my foot that wasn't easily fixed, making it difficult for me to follow but still possible for me to dance Tango leading.

I discovered, the other side.
And it was a revellation!!

Now, I enjoy dancing Tango with other women.

It's become an art form of movement, body balance and creative energy exchange.

AND, I know some tips that make social dancing AS a woman (leading and following) WAY better. So, many things that you can do in the dance with your hands to get your needs met! hehe ;)

If you're interested in learn, but don't have a partner.
If you want to give Tango a try,
but you feel uncertain about dancing with unfamiliar men.

If you're a woman,
wanting to learn how to lead in Tango (or in life!) ...

Then, here is my new course.
In conjunction with Byron Community College, my new offering is "Women Exploring Through Tango" at South Golden Beach Hall on Wednesdays from 2 August, 6-8PM.
