What's New
Peter Waller & Lisa de Lazzari -- Mon/Tue 18-19/jan (private only)
Peter and Lisa (website) pioneered tango in Australia with its longest running school. They teach, perform, organise milongas, and are the appointed judges for Australia's World Tango Championship preliminaries. Their stay will be 16-20/jan

Lisa: "The first time I ever heard and danced Tango, I had a feeling that I had known this forever. I felt such a connection with the music through my heart and my head that I knew I would never want to stop dancing tango."
