Workshop Weekend with Laura Melo & Ricardo Barrios

1 – 3 April 2011

Laura & Ricardo brought us exciting moments during the 3rd TangoSunFestival in Jurmala 2010 – as teachers, dancers and persons. And we are very glad and excited that they will be with us in April, to give us another piece of their arts.

We have compiled a programme based on wishes from some of you, our own ideas and brushed by Laura’s & Ricardo’s professional eye. It is definitely not for beginners without tango experience and also not for advanced beginners dancing a few weeks or less than half a year. It is meant for the middle and advanced dancing level.

The programme:

Friday (01.04.2011)
18:30 – 20:00 WS1: Different Combinations in Close embrace – for the small dancing space in crowded
milongas…		 (middle-advanced level)
We will organize together with Tangostudio (Aigars) and EL NARANJERITO (Margita & Zigis) a Milonga in Cafe Bastejkalns starting from 22:00 with DJ Bodhi (Latvia) and a little vals by Laura & Ricardo to say hello to you all. The milonga will last until 2:00 and if you want to continue dancing further, Margita invites you to an after-party to her premises at Bruninieku str. 47.
