Short Film + Milonga in January

Hi everyone,

Something to think about...

There are some of you very talented with cameras.
We are planning a film/milonga night sometime in December/January.

What we would like you to try your hands at is a short film or a succession of photos / cartoons / animations presentation, as short as you like but not longer then 7 minutes.

The film theme of course is argentine tango or anything that has to do with it. May be a narrative, an abstract, a romance... anything that comes to your head.

We will then organise a 1 hour film session on cushions with popcorn and a milonga afterward.

Surprise me - be creative, shocking, funny, just go mad... lets share a piece of each others minds :)

Love,
Nathalie

Price €40 (Senior citizens and full time students 30euros)

Lessons are 1:30 hours long.

To apply, please email Nathalie. It would be ideal if you try to apply in pairs - ask fellow dancers during classes, practicas or milongas, and remember that we will change partners during lessons so it does not necessarily mean that you have to remain with the same partner throughout the lesson.

Primeros Pasos April 2010

Tango Argentino - Primeros Pasos

(introductory course for complete beginners)

taught by Nathalie Mifsud

Argentine tango is a beautiful dance and it has attracted the attention of most major cities in the world. Even here in Malta we have a group of tango enthusiasts who are only too happy to pass on their knowledge of this addictive dance.


Dates

Monday 29th Mar at 39, Mrabat Road, Sliema

Monday 5th Apr at University Common Room

Monday 12th Apr at University Common Room

Monday 19th Apr at University Common Room

Time: 7.30pm

Apart from these lessons, we also meet every week for our regular Milonga, and other activities.

Price
€40 per person / €30 for full-time students & senior citizens.
€20 for those that would like to repeat the course.

A €10 discount voucher will be given for Tango shoes by Claudia.

Please confirm your attendance by reply email to nathalie@tangomalta.org stating your full name and mobile number (in case I need to contact you urgently) and all details of any accompanying friends.

Dress - What you want, normally, casual.
Shoes - Followers (usually women) are advised to wear well supported shoes, no flip flops. Leaders (usually men) are advised against wearing long pointed shoes. Gym shoes are fine.

Dance partner

Tango is not a fixed partner dance. Therefore this makes it possible to apply singularly. However, on the other hand, I cannot guarantee equal numbers of leaders to followers. It is advisable for women to try to bring a male friend.

IMPORTANT: Payment can be effected on the first lesson. Please arrive a little earlier. NO refunds will be issued for missed classes.

Gift Vouchers: Please remember that you can always give a Tango course as a gift to a loved one or a dear friend.
