I am just about to head off for a few hours of freestyle in Edinburgh tonight. Last year I was hooked through our Edinburgh Tango Society Brunch.

The music hooked me
. Since then I have done a beginners class and intermediate however not enough freestyle. Just getting to grips with Ceroc and Ballroom seem to take up most of my time and it fell away. However there was a Tango Winter Ball in December, dressed in my finest James Bond
I went along with E (who started the same time as me). We just got there a few minutes before three couples from Argentina did 3 wonderful 'freestyle' dances then all three just graced the floor
After that demo I saw how wonderful and free AT should be danced and I had just THE best night (10pm-2am) of freestyle dancing AT I have ever had. I never left that dance floor.
I hope to get loads of AT in before Scarborough - anyone else going? Yes the Dance Den at Soputhport would be a fine wee venue for some AT. I enjoyed a few Ballroom dances there but I must be honest the Blues room is my home @ Southport
There was some AT during the day last September in Southport in the Blues room however I was not confident enough then.
It is so much worth the time and effort to learn how to stand still and provide a frame for the follower to be creative in. I love it - sorry why am I am still here? I got AT go.....
