Afternoon Tango at the Sailing Club with DJ Esther this week

Afternoon Tango is on at South Brisbane Sailing Club … Tuesdays 3.30pm until 7pm

68 Hill End Tce, West End.
See you there, Anton.

We’re going to try to build on the wonderful, friendly and casual atmosphere that somehow permeates Tuesday Afternoon Tango by encouraging some of Brisbane tango’s most experienced dancers to guide us a little into improving our dancing skills without fuss or bother.

So, Afternoon Tango will commence at the South Brisbane Sailing Club at 3:30pm. The first half you’ll be able to practice or pickup pointers … or just dance. But the main point is to have fun as always.

If you can make the earlier start, it will help us tailor this extra feature more quickly to suit us all.
