This is a luscious opportunity for all who want to immerse themselves in Tango, no matter what level you are at. People from near and far will use these days to take part in the classes and develop their dancing through practice.

A Tango Mango provides a learning environment where you dance for hours on end at cut cost price, to explore Tango for yourself in a supportive environment. We shall dance from 10am until 11.30pm every day, pausing only for classes between 4.45pm - 7:00 pm every day.

There is an opportunity to take private lessons in the morning.

Cost:

Everybody coming to a Mango has to book in advance, even if only coming for the evening Milonga!
There are two types of prices you need to consider, one for dancing, the other one for the classes. Any classes you choose to take will have to be paid in addition to the fees for dancing.

Week 1 or 2 - dancing: £45
One day & evening of dancing: £10
Evening dancing only: £5
Evening classes: £6 per large group class, £9 per small group class
Private Tango lessons: £25

(please note - you cannot apply the weekly discount across the two Mangos; i.e. if you come from Thursday to Wednesday incl., it will cost you £70. However, if you choose to stay for both weeks, it will be £90 for the lot of dancing! What a bargain!!!)

Food:

The creation and the sharing of food is an integral part of the Mango experience. People take turns helping to make the food or to wash-up, prepare or clear the tables etc. (You will find out in more detail once you sign up to the Mango).

Accommodation:

Camping at the school:
We will be able to camp at the school! Shower facilities have now been installed. We are also investigating the possibility of using a class room for a dormitory. If you are interested in either of those options, please let me know.
Cost: £5 per person per night.

B&B's via the school:
A parent of the school, Louise Romoli, has kindly offered to set up an accommodation finding service. This will draw on families connected with the school. In the long run, we hope to offer a range of options via this service, ranging from a space to put your rolymat to proper B&B or even self-catering flats or houses! A portion of the proceeds will go toward supporting the School.
If you are interested in this, please contact Louise on 01364 642669 to let her know of your requirements.

A chalet - sleeps 4 and a house with 3 double bedrooms.
