4. Guest Teaching at ‘The Dome’ Mon 7th and Wed 9th of June Monica and I will be leading the Practica at the Dome on Mon 7th of June, and taking the pre-milonga class on Wed 9th. If you want to come and check out one of London’s leading milongas, it will be a great chance to do so with some familiar faces… or if you’re already a regular, we look forward to seeing you there! More info on dancing at the Dome is here:
5. Looking for Space! As you’ve probably noticed I’m spending more time choreographing my own work, and forming a performance company. What we need more than anything to support our work is cheap or free space to rehearse during the day. If you know of any possibilities, or organizations that may be interested in supporting such commendable artistic endeavors, you know what to do! Also, we’re currently looking for a space available in the evenings to teach from, beautiful, central, and not expensive. If you are a miracle worker, or have a suggestion for such a space, please let me know!
All the best!
