Dance those Easter chocolate calories off at a milonga or practica this long weekend – hop to it!
Plenty going on in the dance scene so lots of messages from our organisers below:
From Conrad:
There is a workshop with Shan and Ben prior to this week’s TangoNut Milonga.
Workshop with Shan and Ben:
One hour tango workshop @ 1pm (arrive by 12.45pm), $20
We will work on dancing melodically and rhythmically from the close side of the embrace. Working with disassociation and embellishments for the followers.
From Moonlight Tango:
Every Wednesday at Evita Restaurant, come enjoy a fun and delicious tango infused experience!
Tango Nights (Noches de Tango) are a fun way to start your journey into the world of tango by being part of the Brisbane Tango Community in all its diversity. This is neither a milonga nor a practica, it does not fit in any of the existing Tango schemes.
We have invited all teachers in Brisbane to come and give a free beginners class to anyone wanting to discover the beauty and fun of dancing tango. Free tango classes will go from 17:00 to 18:00 every Wednesday. This is a great opportunity to try your skills on the dance floor, meet people and try what the Tango Community can offer.
After that, Eddie Graziani will play live music and invite different local musicians for a Tango Jam! What's a jam? Local musicians with different backgrounds and artistic talents getting together to create live music just for us.
All dancers are invited to enjoy the music while sipping a glass of wine or tasting the delicious Argentinian food at EVITA Restaurant. A small dance floor will be available to everyone wanting to fly with the notes of live music.
We ask all members of the Brisbane Tango Community and any visiting dancers to come and join us for a relaxed, tango infused evening at EVITA Restaurant.
Address: 365 St Pauls Terrace, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, QLD, 4006
Time:
- Beginners Class from 17:00 to 18:00 (please arrive a bit earlier)
- Tango Jam right after till 21:00

Anatomy of Dance Workshop: Advanced balance and stability training: Friday 29 April 2022
Run by Patrick Shwaluk
19:30-20:30

It is surprising how quickly balance and stability improve with the right exercises.
Hosted in conjunction with Doctor of Chiropractic Capalaba and E-Tango
