ESSEX TANGO after dark

is hosted by Paul Bottomer and Laura Clark

Paul trained with the old masters in Buenos Aires, winning and retaining the World Cup, European Championships and World Championships for four consecutive years before retiring as undefeated World Supreme Champion. Paul has danced exhibitions, lectured and taught all over the world and regularly hosts Tango holidays to Buenos Aires.

Laura is a beautifully elegant dancer. Her approach to teaching is gentle and patient as she builds understanding, nurtures confidence, and encourages the dancer. Laura's strengths create an easy rapport with first-time dancers and recent beginners yet her experience is also brought to bear with excellent styling for more advanced dancers and lots of personal attention to further develop their dancing and dance enjoyment.

ABOUT TANGO

Following a resurgence of interest in the closing years of the twentieth century, Tango has become one of the world’s most exciting and popular dances. New composers and musical styles have attracted and inspired new dancers to revitalise Tango, enriching its classic and much loved Argentinean themes. Short sets or tandas ensure that the music programme is varied and it’s normal to enjoy dancing each tanda with different partners, making Tango a seriously fun and friendly social experience.
