Two houses have tentatively been reserved for the “long” weekend

various lodges in Clarens for people that do not want to share a house.
We can use the church hall for the whole weekend for dancing, lessons and dinner- should we want to do a braai there.
Suggested is the same sort of program that we had at Three Rivers Gorge
– lessons the afternoon(beginners and advanced) and a braai followed by
a dance & milonga. Have dinner the the Friday night at one of the
restaurants in the plain and maybe dance there
if it can be arranged this before the time.
Saturday night: have lessons, a braai and a Milonga/dance at the church
hall. (maybe a variety of music to get the local people involved)
Sunday night: TBC. We can maybe try out the local restuarants and pubs in Clarens

hall/reception area that we can use for dining if we are going to braai
there.

2. There is now a newly-created Tango calendar for everything happening in Cape Town:
http://www.tangocapetown.com/
The idea is
that it's a non-partisan source that offers a comprehensive and easy
overview - all classes and events, updated frequently, as accurately as
possible.
There also a page with contact details for all the local organisers and
teachers, links to their sites, and a google map with all the Tango
locations pinned, to help the local community and visitors.
Argentine tango is danced in other cities throughout South Africa.
Details are published in the Tangojoburg website.
This website tangojoburg.co.za offers information about Argentine tango events in the greater Johannesburg area.
The site includes information about teachers, milongas and practicas. It
also offers general information about tango in other parts of South
Africa and a gives a hint of some of the other dance opportunities in
the greater Gauteng area.
It is administered by tango lovers in the area.
