One weekend, in the Spring of 2004, Richard & Eleonora, originally from Rosario but now based in London, held a series of Tango workshops in the recently-refurbished Orangery of Bylaugh Hall in Norfolk.

Richard & Eleonora led a series of workshops with a small group of local or temporarily resident participants on Saturday and Sunday - morning and afternoon - based on caminita and corrida.

There was also a Valentine's Milonga on the Saturday night.

How it started
What you must do first
Getting around
Intertwining those legs
Having real fun
Swirling around the room
No limits
