Fringe of Tango in Bristol4 - 6 Sep 2015Bristol, Hours studioAbout Fringe of Tango:Before I leave Bristol I would like to bring the tango community together for a weekend of dancing, talking, laughing, learning and sharing. Tango brings people together from all walks of life. The Fringe of Tango is about sharing our tango stories, about how we started to dance and the experiences we have each had along the way. It’s about exploring the roots of the dance, and the music behind it, with musicians and seasoned dancers. It’s also a time to share food and wine with one another, to relax, to chat, and enjoy listening to live music. To complete the picture, Sophie’s sculptures, and Aaron’s photographs, will be on show throughout the weekend. So, I invite you to join us for a special weekend to celebrate together. The event will take place over three-days, at HOURS, Sophie & Nigel’s wonderful new studio gallery space which overlooks the centre of Bristol. To find out more take a look to the programme below and head over to the Tango Note website to book Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions!
