Otherwise : London For a London calendar see Arlene Toth's London tango pages : http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=arlenetoth%40yahoo.co.uk&ctz=Europe/London For a London clubs listing see the El Once (The Crypt) website : http://www.elonce.dircon.co.uk/html/uk_listings.html (other parts of the UK also) Dancing in London can vary widely in quality. However, if you fancy trying it out one weekend, the easiest places to get to from Kent are : Friday Conway Hall (Carablanca) http://www.carablanca.co.uk/ Both are in the Holborn area and can be combined into one trip (Carablanca's 8-12pm : Negracha 9-3am) Saturday The Crypt, Clerkenwell http://www.elonce.dircon.co.uk/html/crypt.html Also the following afternoon tea dances are possible : Saturday Tango
Tea @ The Tango Club, Covent Garden Sunday La Mariposa , Clapham See Arlene´s pages or the relevant website for timings (most clubs have classes before the social dancing). Regions A useful calendar : www.tangocentral.co.uk In my view the best dancing takes place not in London but outside. The following places have weekend events that are well worth going to : Eton/Windsor Easter/Yule tango/tea dances http://www.thamesvalleytango.co.uk/ New Forest The Tango "tangks" www.tangouk.co.uk (various levels see bottom of home page for explanation) Devon The
Tango Feasts
www.vidadetango.co.uk Cambridge "Four Season" all-nighters www.cambridgetango.com Of these Devon probably has the highest quality dancing, but is (obviously!) the furthest to get to. Next best are the Tango Tangks and the Eton tea dances. Too many to list, but you can find active tango bloggers via the following blogrolls (blogger lists) : Simba tango http://simbatango.com/ Tango Pilgrim http://tangopilgrim.com/blogroll/ An
honourable mention also to Mari's blog, which doesn't usually appear
above: Abroad Argentina If you´re thinking of going to Argentina for less than a month, it is often better to go on an escorted tour. That way you save time on organization and have a nice bunch of people to go to milongas with. Some people who we can recommend are : Korey

Europe There are a whole bunch of festivals in Europe. Holland and Germany have particularly strong reputations for dancing. El Corte in Nijmegen , for instance, is considered a Mecca by many dancers in Europe (www.elcorte.com). Berlin also has a very large tango scene.
