Hi there Tango dancers!

Usually we have a special price for tango only dancers as its more of a matinee dance the ticket price had been higher due to higher overheads but due to feedback and low ticket sales for the Tango part of the evening rather than cancel that part we have decided to offer a special rate for Tango only dancers of $15 valid only 5-8pm on saturday 28th April.

spread the word

(for  all those who are only attending tango and are already on  prepaid list they can get a refund of $10 when they leave by 8.15pm - or a free entry to Salsadrome and Tango Milonga on 4th May.

Starting SUNDAY 6^th MAY 6-8:30pm
*** Entries now open ***

Well it’s that time of the Dine & Dance competition calendar – Sunday 6^th of May is the first round of this year’s All Styles Jack & Jill Dance Competition, the only all styles dance competition where you don’t need a partner!  So here’s the quick low down:

• All partner dance styles – Rock’n’Roll, Latin (Cha, Cha, Cha), Salsa & Argentine Tango

• Freestyle dance competition – no routines allowed

• Prize Pool of $1,400 in cash and vouchers

• No dance partner required – enter in your nominated dance style as a Lead (Jack) or Follow (Jill)

• Competitors will dance with a number of different partners during heats/finals swapping dance partners when advised by the MC – music will play for as long as the judges require to mark each round

For those of you who miss the dulce de leche and asado barbecues of Argentina, salvation is at hand! 

El Matador restaurant is opening in the next few weeks at 196 Cuba St.
You can follow their progress on their Facebook page. 
www.facebook.com/ElMatadorWellington

El Matador is still some weeks away from opening and we are in the early stages of developing a website...  
Any help to spread the word would be verymuch appreciated!

FYI in addition to asado on the menu, El Matador will also offer delicious empanadas, dulce du leche panqueque, churros & hot chocolate and many more goodies...........

Hi all

Well, we moved in and had every intention of having several bbqs whilst the sun was shining. But... the sun didn't shine, got busy and now are only left with a few days left of days light saving!  So... to say goodbye to the sun and finally start 'warming' the house; we're going to have a 'sunset' bbq for the Tango crowd.  All are welcome.  This will be on Saturday, 31st from 6.30 ish, so peps could come to have a good look around the garden.  Please bring either meat for bbq, dessert or other main and drinks.

The address is 42B Darlington Road, Miramar.  You will need to park out on the road.

Please indicate if you coming along with what you might bring along for kai.  (I know this isn't keeping with potluck tradition ;-)

Cheers and hope to see you here,

Miriam and Gordie

PS - Bring ukes, there may be an opportunity for a singalong.  We've also been known to have a board game or two that can bring out the performer in you.

A huge thanks to everyone who made the trip up AND down to Otaki for Milonga de las Tartas (there are a few photos up on our website from it - http://tangoabrazo.co.nz/photo-gallery/ ) We all appreciate it so much; a big thanks as well to all those who supported the milonga, even if they couldn't make it on the day.

We just had it pointed out to us that our original date for Milonga de las Tartas was clashing with Mother's Day, so we've moved the date by a fortnight.

We hope you'll join us for our next quarterly afternoon of food and tango...
