YES! We had a great time at the Tango Fiesta!! Two real action packed days for some of us(!!)....starting with some excellent body and mind preparation work with Tessa the Iyengar yoga teacher...
Ok this seemed a bit crazy at first, but it certainly helped...
What were the highlights of this weekend ? Well, the workshops on Friday with Isolde were lovely, true technique based ... and there was a genuinely peaceful atmosphere amongst the dancers..while on Friday night we really let our hair down at the "milonga relajado" ...I was the Dj for the evening, but undoubtedly benefitted from the company of the celebrated "wheelbarrow sound system" ..(On the Bank Holiday Monday after the fiesta weekend the famous green wheelbarrow was one of the highlights at the Ledbury carnival, but the dancing on the streets there was not only tango.....)
Saturday was a day of great conviviality amongst the tangueros, workshops were full with Eduardo Bozzo and Isolde Kanikani leading some excellent themes, a "fun milonga" and lastly the very popular "volcadas/colgaldas...."
At the Fiesta milonga on saturday night Dj Alchemist took charge of all the music,( a relief for me!) and we were also treated to a wonderful impromptu tango display by our two stunning and charismatic dancers...Eduardo and Isolde...
Really, it was a perfect evening, very relaxed, lots of dancers on the floor all night, and our crowd boasted visitors from Coventry, Birmingham, Shrewsbury,Rugby, Hereford, Ross, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Southampton, let alone Malvern and Colwall itself..
Mhari excelled herself with her cakes ...Thank you they were wickedly delicious, we will be ordering for the next time! And maybe some of your fans will be back too...
Colwall village hall, Tango Malvern will return soon!!
