TOTNES
If you are serious about Tango, then you simply must experience that phenomenon called the "Tango Mango". Run during half term holidays in a school (currently the Rudolf Steiner School, just outside Dartington) About 100 or so tango nuts descend for classes, both private and group, workshops,practicas and Milongas. It goes on all week until you are totally tango-ed out. It is run with military precision by the indefatigable Ruth Zimmermann, fast becoming a national treasure in the worl of Tango. Tango Oblivion

PATIO de TANGO
Townsville, Queensland
Pino Ellul has a very interesting site and his thoughts about tango are very similar to ours. In particular, he has much to say on etiquette which is required reading for us all. His approach is inspirational. He says"Tango is an improvised Dance, a composition of balance The Alpha and Omega of Body, Mind and Spirit.
Tango is in the Heart,your Heart is inside Your Body Your Body is supported by two legs,You have no excuse "YOU CAN TANGO". " Absolutely right.

SHOES:
Following an emailshot from Montevideo, I plucked up the courage to order some high heeled Tanguera shoes from a company in Uruguay. No, not for me, for Judith! The website looked nice and the shoes looked wonderful. I was very impressed by Karen who gave me advice about sizes. She even suggested we traced around Judith's feet and sent her a JPEG so that we could be confident we had chosen correctly. Amazingly, the shoes arrived within 4 days of ordering. They are simply to die for, beautifully hand-crafted, full leather and leather lined. In comparison to the sorts of dance shoes we see in the UK, they are in a different league. Judith says they are so comfortable with firm soles , good heel support and supple glove-like uppers. Knowing how hard it can be for women to find comfortable, attractive, high quality shoes to dance in, we both heartily recommend this company.BUT A WORD OF WARNING. For every $150 (£80) pair of shoes you buy this way, you will eventually get a customs bill of another $75 (£40)!! We still think it was worth it, but then we do tend to spend a lot on shoes.

BANDS
al Tango This fantastic Polish tango orchestra that plays Argentine and world tango music have a really good website, in English, Spanish and Polish, with lots of music to hear. They have produced a great CD of tangos from Russia, Finland, France, Poland and Germany as well as a fresh take on some classics. Their angle is that Tango does not just belong to Argentina and this site makes a very strong case for that idea.
Mala Pinta , our very good friends from Paris are a really superb band with a very flexible approach to playing for Milongas. They are able to offer all sorts of combinations from Trios to Sextets and when they play for us they keep the floor absolutely packed and delighted.
