January Tango Workshop in Launceston: What a workshop! Without a doubt, Tango Dancer Sarah Bonnar left an indelible mark on each and everyone of the students attending her workshop.

Superb technique, an easy complexity at each Tango movement, and lessons that extend far beyond the dance itself. Sarah has again proved to her audience that she is the best Tango dancer in Australia. We certainly made the most out of her first (and hopefully not last!) visit to our island.

Sarah has also emailed a set of key elements/exercises to improve your Tango dance. If you attended her recent workshops you can get in touch with us and we'll email/post you that information
