A Followers' Tecnica class by Jelena Ivanovic will be held on Wednesday 18th November at 8pm at the University Common Room. This session is ideal for followers who are either at Intemediate level, or about to join the intermediate level.

Price: €15 per person

Application: Email TangoMalta@gmail.com to reserve your place - Bookings will be confirmed only upon receipt of payment, and must be made until the 11th November. Claudia will be informing you if you are on the waiting list or if your booking has been accepted via reply email - please follow her instructions.
