Tango Café and Monday Class

The first Tango Café was a great success. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Plenty of dancing and fun for everyone. Thanks to Peter for the music and Paula for the lovely cakes. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Roll on the next one!! 



From this Monday (5^th) our classes will be moving from our temporary summer Students Union venue to a new venue for the autumn –Shaftsbury Bowling Club, 20A Annadale Avenue, BT7 3JH. There is car parking inside (please don’t park on the grass!). The bar will be open. The floor is great – just slightly smaller than City Church. Classes will be the same time and format, and we still have the fabulous Leonardo and Yasmin for a few more weeks.
