Robles Dance Academy September/October Newsletter What a great response we had to our first Newsletter. The feedback has been positive and encouraging! As we said last month, we aim to produce an informative newsletter, keep you up-to-date with what is happening, new classes, special occasions etc. Suggestions, contributions and of course if you have any specific ideas you would like to suggest we would love to hear from you. Centre Stage with Fabio & Ana 7th Tango Dance World Championship I think we sometimes forget, or assume because Fabio & Ana are professionals and beautiful dancers that they just step onto the stage and dance. Well guess what? Not True! They still have to dedicate many hours to creating, fine tuning and of course rehearsing their choreography. Drama’s aplenty when Fabio & Ana arrived in Buenos Aires …. Minus their luggage with all costumes, shoes, makeup … the lot !!! Three days went by and finally, relief their luggage was found. Fabio & Ana are extremely proud and honoured to have represented not only our country, they are also proud to have representing us; the Tango community, and are happy to announce their top 10 finish in the 7th Tango Dance World Championship .
