New Zealand's Tango Champion in 2005 and 2006 Alison Fiddler says she's thrilled to bring gay Tango classes to Auckland beginning this month. Sensual: A same-sex Tango event in Buenos Aires Fiddler and another female dancer gave the attendees at yesterday evening's Gay Auckland Business Association meeting a special same-gender Tango show to promote the new venture. "You can come along with a partner or by yourself, but we try to mix people up in our classes, as that helps make you a better dancer," Fiddler explains. No previous dance experience is necessary for the six-week course – and "two left feet are OK," she laughs. Dancing the Tango is often described as an intense and sensitive communication between two individuals expressed through the dancers' embrace and own style. Similar Gay Tango classes are organised in many cities across the world including Sydney, Buenos Aires and San Francisco, but never before in New Zealand. Auckland's Gay Tango classes begin downtown each Thursday evening from 21 August.
