15/08 Tango: does size matter (and how to enlarge your tango)
£12.0015/08 Tango: does size matter? (and how to enlarge your tango), 90 min.
No, we are not going to make an easy joke after this title. Let's just say that often, tango can be owning more space by applying simple principles and technique. If you feel your tango needs an amplification, look no further. And it's not only about larger movements: sometimes small movements, with control and energy, are the right choice. Get some size in your tango!
