Ricky and Laura during their Tango show at La Rogaia, out of breath but happy
Ricky and Laura will be opening La Rogaia´s Tango festival and Tango workshop season 2010 with a class on Salon style Tango. In the Tango class at Villa La Rogaia Argentine Tango students will learn to move with grace on the dance floor and profit from the passion, and joy , which are typical for Ricardo Barrios´ and Laura Melo´s teaching concept. Students will also like the precise style of dance and the elegance their movements will develop , two other valuable things which they will learn in this workshop. All this never is taught in a stressful way, but comes always with a smile. Ricky and Laura are famous for their good mood, patience and sense of humour.
