Viva Valeria!

An absolutely stunning class, deliciously taught, teasing us through every move, breath and intonation. Wow! we were half and hour late due to appauling PMT, an accident and wanton boys, don't ask, but eventually got there.

Yes I was a little tense, and sat out at first, but was quickly brought into the group, rehearsed through the first part and expertly led. I'd already decided to ditch the class as we were late, and would be too far behind, but that wasn't given as an option.

Excellent organisation, superb stage management and the gentlest but most thorough teaching. Valeria is an absolute gift to tango.

And Janet is the hand that rocks

River tango "Debut" sucked

TM was well annoyed.
Fouling up a night with performers such as Aoniken Quiroga & Giovanna Di Vicenzo, Marcelo Varela & Analia Vega and Otros Aires is really not clever. They were stunning, inspirational and cutting edge.

The rave music from the next room and poor acoustics made it a travesty
