What's a Mango when it's not a fruit?
Down here in the rolling hills of Devon, it's a Tango event; equally luscious but lasting longer than the fruit -
A visit to a Tango Mango enables you to dance to your heart's content in a friendly, supportive environment. You can make new Tango friends, share food, go for walks, take classes, chill out, buy shoes, and above all, keep dancing!
Some Mangos also give input for musicians. This coming Mango will start with a couple of days for musicians - a practical and in-depth study of the music of the golden era that will enhance the musicality in your dance. Dust off your instrument and join us in the Orquesta Tipica for the first weekend of the February 2012 Mango!

A Mango primarily aims to create a space where you can explore, where you can take your next step on your Tango journey, regardless of what level you are at, from beginner to advanced. It's a high quality but low budget "pick 'n' mix" event, where you can design the length and intensity of your stay to suit your needs. You decide to come for the whole duration or a part of it. You decide to just come for dancing or to also take classes and private lessons. You may want to book yourself a B&B in the area or join the intrepid group of campers and dormers instead. You can join the communal food sharing, or cater for yourself.

It's hard to give you a full picture of what a Mango is like. Every Mango is different, is new, is inimitable. Come and experience it for yourself!
