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. (Please scroll down for the small print)

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

Accommodation:

Camping at the school:
We are able to camp at the school, as well as using two class rooms as dormitories. There are no beds you will have to bring your own roly mat etc! Shower facilities have now been installed. If you are interested in either of those options, please let me know.
Cost: £5 per person per night. Please scroll down for the small print

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.
