After a fantastically successful first event, we are delighted to roll out a regular Mariachi Tea dance here in Scotland. We look forward to lots of cake, and we will provide tea/coffee/biscuits, etc to enjoy under the backdrop of Mariachi: music demanding to be danced to…

Not as intense as Full Phat, these Tea Dances will still push and stretch U as well as bringing new favourites and old friends and, of course, the hourly experimental track… ususally with the emphasis on mental!!!

And why not really indulge yourself and join us for the Musicality workshop in the afternoon!

PLEASE BOOK IN ADVANCE. Tickets will go quickly, first come first served, and we will be gender blancing.

£8 advance £10 door

email: info@mariachi.info for more, erm, info!!!!

An introduction to musicality…

What does musicality mean? How can I dance musically? Can I hear the music? If so, then what next??

All these questions and more are answered in this workshop. The focus is listening, and learning new skills which take our dancing forward leaps and bounds… There will be time for demos, practice on the floor and lots and lots of questions…

We aim to gender balance, so please book in advance.

Early bird special £20 for workshop & Tea dance if booked before 1 Nov. After that £20 for workshop only or £25 for workshop & tea dance.

What we aim to do is have people listening to music in greater detail: listening for rhythms within a song, the counter rhythms… melodies, instruments, solos. Once we can hear something, we can dance to it. There will be lots of listening, practical demos and plenty of time for dancing as well as showing some nice moves that encourage hitting the breaks in the music.
