23.01.2022 Hola tangueros and tangueras, The second "Tango Chill Session" - is on - This is an alternative tango night. Please see flyer attached. The January Tango Chill Session features only music from the 1960s to the present day. This is a night to relax and feel the summer tango vibe. Cabaceo if you like, women ask men to dance, men ask women to dance - welcome to Sal's birthday chill session.... When - Friday 23rd January 2015. Time - 8.30pm to late. Where - Kingston Beach Sailing Club Bring - BYO drinks & nibbles (glasses and water supplied). Music by DJ Sal - a heady mix of contemporary, electrotango, nuevo, neo, blues, alternative and contemporary tango. Music to sooth your soul with a bit of downtempo, lo-fi, and trip hop inspired tango. NO DOOR SALES, there are only 10 tickets left for sale for this night at $12 per person. Be quick, or miss out. Please message or email us to RSVP asap and secure your spot. Or talk to us at our Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday classes. Ciao, Sally and Brian Da Rules of the "Chill Sessions": 1. Enjoy 2. Dance as many or as few songs as you like - there are no tandas tonight 3. Anyone ask anyone to dance 4. Enjoy 5. The only "real" rule is, keep the line of dance because the venue is small. And....enjoy!

21.01.2022 Practica tonight - Planeo into barrida. For many of you this will be your first introduction to planeos, so we are going to take it from the very beginning and aim to finish with a planeo that moves into a barrida. If you've always wanted to learn planeos, or perhaps don't even know what a planeo is, now is your chance! We don't recall this being taught here in Hobart, at least not for many years, so don't miss out.

20.01.2022 A huuuge day of tango today! Details being: - Gala Milonga tonight! 8:30pm-late, with a special performance by Mario and Anabella at 10pm. $25pp, complimentary cheese plates provided, BYO drinks. Not to be missed - one of the most glam nights of tango this year. Dress to impress! - Workshop @ 1:30pm (1 hr): "Rhythmic structures of tango"... Fundamental technique of walking and balance using the rhythms found in tango music. Mario says that this could very well be the most important workshop of the weekend, and who are we to argue. Open to, and recommended for, ALL levels of dancers. This is a solo class so no partner will be required, everyone will be doing the same work whether leader or follower. $20 if not booked as part of a weekend package. - Workshop @ 2:45pm (1.5hrs): "Interesting changes of direction with paradas" This workshop will demonstrate exciting new uses of simple stops to rebound energy and build counter turns. Suitable for level 2+ or dancers with 6+ months of experience. $35 if not booked as part of a weekend package. NOTE: this class is currently balanced so we can only take new bookings as leader/follower couples.

20.01.2022 Tonight at practica: Sacadas for...her! Sacadas aren't just for the leaders to do, the follower can also perform sacadas on the leader. Not just a show-off step, follower sacadas require a good lead and responsive follow, plus good balance and confident stepping from the follower - all useful skills in any part of the dance.

We also have spaces for *new* bookings for lead/follow couples.... Tonight - "Cadenas, changes of direction and alterations": A cadena is a number of steps linked together into a repeating pattern. Cadenas can move rapidly around the floor in a turning motion, creating a complex motion from simple components like steps and pivots. This workshop will open your eyes to some of the possibilities that can be created from the seemingly simple, basic steps that anyone with the recommended experience can do. Suitable for Level 2+ or dancers with a minimum 6 months tango experience. $35pp cash at the door unless you have already prepaid. Mathers House, 108 Bathurst St.

15.01.2022 This week at Moonlight Tango - a huge week coming up! Mario and Anabella arrive in a couple of days for their first visit to Hobart and a week of awesome tango. A little bit of Buenos Aires in Hobart for a few days, get on board fellow tangophiles! Only a couple of days left to join the workshops so don't delay if you haven't made up your mind! At this stage we really need people to come as leader/follower couples to keep the workshops balanced, so if you want to take advanta...ge of the amazing Mario and Anabella then find a dance friend and bring them along. Of course the gala milonga this Saturday night is open to everyone. Mario and Anabella will be performing, and you really want to see this in person, watching videos online is great but doesn't do justice to the real thing. And in normal news, in Hobart tonight Week 2 of our introduction to tango course (7:15pm) and Week 2 of 2 of our "Creating Beautiful Ochos" microcourse (8:30pm). On Tuesday in Kingston, Week 2 of 2 of our "Crosses, barridas and ochos" microcourse at 7:30pm. http://www.moonlighttango.com.au http://www.moonlighttango.com.au/MarioAnabella2015.html
