A night with Carlos Di Sarli and friends

For Friday 5 December DJ Fernando Moro has planned  'A night with Carlos Di Sarli and friends' , i.e. orchestras such as Miguel Calo, Lucio De Mare, Juan D'Arienzo, etc, all suited for salon dancing.

Fernando says: "Di Sarli stands out for his elegant style and great personality. His music changed the way tango was danced, making it more suitable for the salon. He remains one of the greatest conductors of all time. He is known as El Señor del Tango (The Tango Lord.)"

The picture, from www.milonga.co.uk,  shows di Sarli's orchestra.  Di Sarli is wearing dark glasses.  Singer Alberto Podesta, wearing a dark suit, is next to him.

The beginners' course assumes no knowledge of tango.  Though it is a progressive course you do not have to book in advance or commit to the whole course.  You pay for each class when you take it.

Recent beginners' classes are held from 7:30pm to 8:30pm on the same dates as the beginners' course.  The prerequisite for the recent beginners' classes is that you have taken the beginners' course or its equivalent elsewhere.

The beginners' course and recent beginners' classes are held in the Bertrand Russell room.  You don't need a partner.
