Michele Tedder and Andrew Oldroyd, are Tango West's principle
Directors and Teachers. They have acquired the reputation locally for
giving a very solid foundation in the basic principles of Argentine
Tango and in providing a friendly and supportive atmosphere, conducive
to systematic and progressive learning. Their inspiration is the social
dancing of the great Milongueros of Buenos Aires, whose style of
dancing is rarely taught outside of Argentina.
The following clips show Andrew & Michele dancing to Tanturi in the Milonguero Style
The 3 directors/teachers also work with visiting international
teachers to prepare exciting, challenging classes and workshops to
stimulate and enjoy. In particular, hands-on help is always available,
as well as music info and other aspects of historical interest.
THE selection of clips here show the dancing of just a few of the many teachers who have taught and inspired us over the years. (Bare in mind, many of these clips are basically stage performances and not social dances)
THE FOLLOWING CLIP SHOWS A YET MORE OF THE WONDERFUL TEACHERS WHO HAVE
VISITED BRISTOL FOR THE PAST 11 YEARS. THEY TAUGHT, INSPIRED AND HELPED
US GROW INTO AN ENTHUSIASTIC AND DEDICATED GROUP OF DANCERS.
SOME OF THESE SHOTS ARE WITH FAMOUS TEACHERS IN BUENOS AIRES.
