Sorry looking at the wrong calendar - its is this weekend

A message from Tony for this weekend :

Check the groups front page for a link to a map for Bylaugh Hall.
You will need to login. Which requires a Yahoo profile.

In "Files" -> "Norfolk Venues" are two maps at different scales if
you are planning on going.

If so Tassie and I will see you there !!

===================================================

Hi all,

Just a quick reminder that Carlos Esquena will be at Bylaugh for a
workshop on Saturday. The workshop runs from 8-9.30, dancing till late
afterwards. Cost £10. Carlos will be singing and playing his guitar
as well as dancing - it should be a fine evening. Details of how to
get to Bylaugh are on www.englandtango. com.

Hope to see you there.

Tony

Hi All

The next practica will be this Sunday evening
March 18th 7.30 -9.30 £3.00
Feel free to turn up any time.

We had a trial run at the Riverside centre.  It is a
very good venue with an excellent dance floor and
plenty of space we just need some more keen dancers to
fill it. Hope to see a good turn out for Suffolk Tango
on Sunday.

Tassie and Kevin

Hi All

For those of you who are up for even more tango we are planning a
friendly group gate crash tonight of Kate and Tony's Practica at the:

Norfolk Dance (Studios)
The Garage
Chapel Field North
Norwich, NR2 1NY
01603 283 399
norfolkdance.co.uk


If Norwich is not one of your regular haunts ring us 07786260109.

-OR-

If you park in the New Chapel Street underground carpark. Walk out to
"The Forum" (Norwich BBC Center/Library) turn left onto Theatre Street
and walk to the next intersection where Theatre Street becomes Chapel
Field North. The Garage (sign : four or five doors down) should be
visible from here on the right hand side. Kate and Tony usually use a
third floor studio but ask at reception.

Tassie & Kevin

Hi All

Just a reminder that the last of the current set of classes at "The
Cut" Halesworth  finishes this weekend 11th March. Bring your picnic
and dancing shoes.

Kate is asking for takers for the fortnightly continuation classes (3
sessions from 22nd April).

The next Practica is the group outing to Norwich on Monday 12th 0730pm
at the Garage.  £3 per person. Obviously a bit of a commitment for a
Monday evening but worth it once you get there.

Closer to home "The Riverside Community Centre" is booked for Sunday
18th 0730 pm for a couple of hours at £3 per person to practice and
swap notes.

The site URL is:

Hi All

Finally got around to connecting our URL to the group site :

http://www.suffolktango.org.uk/

Hope this makes it easier to find the Group Site

Kevin

Hi

We have an area under files for any poetic musings the group might
have. I have uploaded a couple of sally's poems.

[Files] -> [Tango Group Poetry]

Would be nice to have a folder for tango compositions !!!

Maybe sponsor/commission a young composer at the Britten Pears School
  ?

Kevin

Hi All

I have had a few queries about "The Bull" Practica. – Yes this is
still on !!!
There is a map on the site under "Files" if you need to find it or
call Cliff. (Basically find the Woodbridge Market Square)

I have been having a drawn out conversation with the Wolsey Theatre
to see if we can get access to the "Wolsey Studio Theatre" which we
have been told was a dance space in its past incarnation.

The idea is that we get an intro class run in close proximity to "The
Tango Siempre" show 1st April at the Wolsey. The benefit to the group
is that we get some publicity and a lift for the classes in May.

So if any one has a contact at the Wolsey we can talk to that would
be helpful. It has been difficult being taken seriously as the group
is not yet a looming presence in the Suffolk Arts Scene.


See you in Woodbridge

Tassie & Kevin

Three ammendments :
8th April is Easter Sunday oops!!
20th May Visit to Norwich should be 21st May (Monday)
26th May Ipswich Beginners Calss times are 10am - 2pm

We are still working on getting better venues in and around Ipswich

This regular Norwich event is worth investigating if your Sunday
afternoon seems a bit slow. Nice Venue, Nice Crowd

==================
NEWMU
Sun 11th Feb
4pm to 8pm.
Entrance £3

Sunday Tea Dance/Milonga at NEW MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART cafe/bar,
Netherconesford, King St , Norwich, NR1 1PW

The NEWMUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART cafe/bar is a delightful and little
known  venue close to the city centre of Norwich .
The NewMu tea dance has a very social atmosphere. It's just the place
to dance with friends and chat and relax in the comfy seats.
Parking in Mountergate, Rouen Road (on-road and car park) as well as
the Castle Mall.Drinks/snacks may be purchased in the venue.

Directions:

NEWMU is situated on the corner of Mountergate and King Street (close
to St John's Ambulance and the Kings Centre/old Lad's Club venue).

Approaching from Mountergate, you will find NEWMU on your right hand
side (opposite the scaffolding which is currently in place for the
renovation ofan old building). The huge arched windows are
unmistakable and you walk
through the large gates into the courtyard.

Approaching from King Street (from direction of Dragon Hall/the
Waterfront venue), you will find NEWMU on your right hand side and
may enter by
turning right into Mountergate or via the entrance through the
courtyard next
to the Netherconesford gallery.

Approaching from King Street (from direction of Rose Lane/Tombland) ,
you will find NEWMU on your left hand side and may enter by turning
left
into the entrance through the courtyard next to the Netherconesford
gallery.

Approaching from Rouen Road, there are a number of pathways that cut
through to King Street (such as St Julian's Alley) or you may go down
Music
House Lane and turn left into King Street and follow directions from
Dragon
Hall/Waterfront.

Approaching from Castle Mall, walk downhill into Cattle Market Street
  ,
turn right into Kings Street at the Rose Lane/King Street traffic
lights.
Walk along and NEWMU will be on your left.

NEWMU is a short walk from Norwich Train Station (just a quarter of a
mile away) - just walk up Prince of Wales Road then turn left into
Rose
Lane/Mountergate.

On the 14th Feb we're holding a Valentine's Milonga at the Park Hotel
in Diss. The hotel has a decent floor, a good bar and plenty of
parking. It's on the corner of Stanley Rd and Denmark St. (Try Google
maps: http://maps.google.com/) In addition to the regulars in Diss
we'll be welcoming visitors from the Halesworth group, members of the
newly formed Suffolk Tango, and dancers from Bylaugh, Norwich and
further afield. Everyone welcome.

The big news for the month is that following repeated requests we're
holding a six week Intermediate/Improvers Course in Norwich. (23rd Feb
- 30th March). The course will focus on working in cross system and
using the closed side of the embrace. Full details on the website.
Each 90 minute class will be self contained but taken together they
form a progressive course whose aim is to make dancing in cross system
as natural as dancing in parallel. You can come on a drop in basis or
take advantage of a discount if you book all six. So leaders and
followers, if you're up for some intensive tango we look forward to
seeing you at St Thomas's Hall on Earlham Rd (near The Mitre pub).
Dancing till 10.45.

In April we will be holding the first progressive BEGINNERS COURSE in
Norwich at the same venue. (20th April - 25th May). The course will
last for six weeks. Each class will be 2 hours long. If previous
experience is anything to go by the course is likely to be
oversubscribed so booking is a must. More details of this and other
courses together with booking forms can be found on the website
www.tangoabrazo.com

We've also added a new video for the month which offers an interesting
approach to practising your tango. Kate has posted some new photos on
this site (see panel on the left).

Our courses in Diss and Halesworth continue and we can still be found
at The Garage on Monday evenings for the Practica.

Hope to see you there.

Tony

Phone number should be as below - apologies for earlier erroneous
info (again!).

I have booked a function room at the Bull Hotel in Woodbridge for a
series of tango paracticas. This is your chance to dance, practice
and improve. Bring a partner or just see who's there. This is not a
class and is not a formal dance. There will be non-stop tango music,
a bar and a chance to meet and dance with other tangeros.

Sunday 21 Jan
Sunday 25 Feb
Sunday 25 March

7:30 to 9:30. No need to book just turn up, anytime. £3.

The Bull is on The Market Square in Woodbridge, there is parking in
street or in the theatre street car park (for directions go to
www.bullhotel.co.uk).

Any queries - contact Cliff (01394 383908 or
cliff4.hoppitt@...).

For those of us on the course at the Cut this will be the ideal way
of putting into practice what you are learning. See you there.

Sunday Tea Dances/Milongas at NEWMUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
cafe/bar, King St, Norwich, NR1 1PW.

Thank you to everyone who came to our first Sunday tea dance. Due to
its success we are now going to trial this on a monthly basis. You
are invited to join us on the second Sunday of every month for late
afternoon/early evening tango from 4pm to 8pm. The cost will be £3.
The NEWMUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART cafe/bar is a delightful and
little known venue close to the city centre of Norwich. Parking is
available in Mountergate, Rouen Road (on-road and car park) as well
as the Castle Mall. Drinks, cakes and pastries may be purchased in
the venue itself. Hope to see you there. Please email or call me if
you'd like directions/map on 07931 963753.

Sunday Tea Dance Dates 2007: Every 2nd Sunday of the month 4-8pm
January 14th
February 11th
March 11th
April 8th
May 13th
June 10th

Hi All

Kate says we are still short of our 8 Couples to make the course at
Halesworth a sure thing. So if you haven't got round to it please
send her a mail. Obviously there may be a rush post Christmas but we
don't want to leave things to chance.

The new venue in Norwich is delightful and looks like it will become
a regular monthly event.

It is a Café bar and Gallery which has cheekily called itself
"NEWMUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART" [(NEWMU), King St, Norwich, NR1 1PW]

So if you are in Norwich take look you will probably want to put the
postcode into
www.streetmap.co.uk if you don't know Norwich well as there is a bit
of building activity & scaffolding obscuring the street sign off of
King Street at the barrier (no through road) into Mountergate Street.
The Entrance is in Mountergate Street.

It is a good example of the type of venue we would be looking for in
Suffolk for our own Milonga later on. Bar & café facilities, wooden
floor, not to big or small, nice atmosphere, interesting photographs
& art . So if anyone knows of the equivalent in Suffolk it would be
good to know about it as a possibility. It surprisingly how hard it
is to get all boxes ticked for a tango venue.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Tassie & Kevin

Sunday Tea Dance/Milonga at NEWMUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART cafe/bar
(NEWMU), King St, Norwich, NR1 1PW

Hi All

Tassie and I are planning on going to this. So hope to see some of
you there. If we didn't chat or dance at Diss please don't be shy.
Come up and say your in the group. At some point Cliff and Rosemary
Hoppit are going to book a back room at "The Bull" (on The market
Square) in Woodbridge for a practica (probably new year).

Discussions so far are around the idea of a regular practica twice a
month. If anyone has other idea's or a venue please put them forward.

Suffolk is to too big to expect one practica or venue to cover the
county.

Looking through the membership Cliff has added a lot of people since
Diss, but to get the full utility out of the site you need to have a
Yahoo Id.

This would be an advantage as  you can update your profile. If we
knew where everyone was from, we could work out where the practical
centre of the group was and plan a few events etc.

If you would like help with setting up a Yahoo ID please drop Cliff
or me a quick mail and we can give instructions or set it up for you.

Regards

Kevin

PS - keep badgering those closet Tangueros for Kate and Tony's Course

Dear Suffolk Tangueros,

Kate needs a minimum of eight couples (12 is optimum) to make next
years course viable. (2 couples so far)

So before you are all overwhelmed by Christmas and other festive
activities could you (one or more of):
-Sign Up
-Badger some friends to sign up
-Put up a poster in that key location you know is frequented by
closet tango aspirants.

Hope to see you all at "The Cut" in January


Kevin

One performance only at New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich on Sunday 1 April.
I have seen them before and certainly plan to go again.

"Featuring Tango Siempre, Subitango, performed by the UK's leading
tango dancers Marie and Giraldo and the musicians of Tango Siempre,
combines live music with stunning choreography. From classic tangos,
milongas and valses to contemporary pieces, Marie and Giraldo with
Tango Siempre's beautiful accompaniment create a truly breathtaking
performance."

"Tango Siempre can do passion, drama, melancholy, beauty and
sentimentality. They play with a fiery spirit that goes hand in fist
with virtuosity and precision." The Guardian

Sunday Tea Dance/Milonga at NEWMUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART cafe/bar
(NEWMU), King St, Norwich, NR1 1PW

We are trying out a new venue for social dancing in Norwich. You are
invited to join us on Sunday 17th December for late afternoon/early
evening tango from 4pm to 8pm.

The NEWMUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART cafe/bar is a delightful and
little known venue close to the city centre of Norwich. Why not take
advantage of the excellent shopping facilities in Norwich - do some
Christmas shopping then come and enjoy tango dancing afterwards?
Parking for NEWMU is available in Mountergate, Rouen Road (on-road
and car park) as well as the Castle Mall. This event will be FREE.
Drinks/snacks may be purchased in the venue itself. Music will be
traditional with a selection of 'specials' added in. We hope you can
come along and give feedback as to whether this venue/event could
have a regular slot in the Norwich tango calendar.

Hope to see you there
Rachel

Subject: [SuffolkTango] Kate and Tony Tango Plans at the Cut

Hi All

This is a conversation I had shortly before Cliff, Rosemary, Tassie
and I started the group. Kate and Tony are planning a Sunday workshop
each month in the New Year if they can get a commitment from "The
Cut". We hope it will all work out.

Kevin

------------------
From Tony

The woman at The Cut has now come back and said one of the dates
won't do, so we're having to rethink the three possibilities
otherwise some would be too close together. We'll keep you posted.

------------------
Hi Kevin
I have had the same problem with getting any response from the Cut as
before. After emails and calls I tracked Aafke down and have given
her the following dates for next year. Sunday 7th Jan, 4th Feb and
4th March? Was originally suggesting the 10 th Dec but too late now
to do that! So about to confirm dates in New Year with Aafke. And we
would like to encourage people to do the 3 sessions so we can build
on input and if you are running practica and bringing folk to Norwich
that could work really well. Let me know if you think this could
work, I expect Tony will add comments but thats the bare bones for
now.

We hope this event might be of interest to the members of Suffolk
Tango. For those of you who already dance it might be a good point of
contact for new dancers in easy reach of events in Suffolk

Hope to see you there,

Un Abrazo de Tango Presents:

MILONGA ONE

A Milonga for New Dancers

In the early part of your tango career attending a milonga - a salon
where tango is danced - can be an intimidating experience.  Our
Milonga One is designed as a gentle introduction.  The evening will
begin with a short lesson from Kate and Tony on the etiquette of the
milonga with tips on how to navigate and a quick look at the do's and
don't's of the salon floor. Dancing will continue till 10.45.   This
is a great opportunity to come and try out some of your new skills on
the dancefloor and a chance to meet other dancers taking their first
steps in tango.  The Bistro has ample parking, a good dancefloor, a
comfortable sitting area and a bar serving beer, wine, coffee and
snacks. What more could you ask for?

Venue: The Bistrot, Hopper Way, Diss.

Date Wednesday 13th December 2006.  8.00 to 10.45pm

Cost £5.00

For more information contact: Kate on 07818 063466 or
kate@...   www.tangoabrazo.com

Congratulations, Kevin. Suffolk's days as a tango desert look
numbered. Best of luck with the new group.
