JANET OFFER – TANGO y TU

10 years ago, Janet Offer with her 3 co-director/teachers, established Tango West www.tangowest.co.uk in Bristol – UK, solely dedicated to Argentine Tango in Bristol - UK and have helped put Argentine Tango on the map in the south and south west of England. For the last 4 years Janet has also taught Tango to staff and students at Bristol University.  Tango West were the second group in the UK to invite an Argentine national to work as resident with them and brought Argentine tango to numerous towns and cities helping groups set up over the last 10 years.

In 1999 the national newspaper Daily Express sponsored Janet to fulfill her dream to study tango more with CARLOS COPELLO, one of the principal dancers from the cult film, THE TANGO LESSON and also one of the most revered teachers/dancers/milongueros in the world today, EDUARDO ARQUIMBAU, (photo featured at the bottom of the page) – both dancers encouraged and inspired.

During the last 10 years Janet has studied with Paul Lange from the long established and highly respected El Once in London and has travelled again to Buenos Aires and visited Europe regularly to study and develop as a teacher.

Janet has lifelong connections with Cyprus, (her father is from Cyprus) and so, has always dreamed of bringing tango to Cyprus.  On various visits over the last 4 years she has given classes in Limassol, Kyrenia, Famagusta and Nicosia.  Now at last, there is a tango group in Larnaca.  In 2008, Tango y Tu will welcome international teachers to share their knowledge with you.

You will discover more about this wonderful dance form, the culture, the etiquette, the music and much more, if you come along on Wed 9 January and sign up for the FOUNDATION COURSE and receive a free CD tango mix.  You don’t need a partner, this is a social dance for all - come along, join us and share the pleasure.
