Pirates!
Courage, duty and honour are equally lampooned and championed. Light-hearted adventure filled with swagger and charm is armed to the teeth with breath-taking wordplay and laden with tongue-twisting treasures.
Staring with a day at the beach, corporate pirates cross swords with spirited young women accompanied by their guardian Major General Stanley, and, rather more successfully, with a troupe of baffled policeman. Love and romance as well as wit is in the air, together with tortuous legal wrangling, and sparkling music.
Argentine Tango Beginners Class
Bring your partner, your friends, workmates, and acquaintances. Or come on your own. During the class this encouraging environment will help you connect with the music, the partner, and the floor and eventually make your way to your own tango.
Mark will introduce you to the fundamentals of Argentine Tango, tango history and urban legends. The lessons will teach you how to walk the tango and how to turn, which is technically all you need in order to dance. There will be some anxious moments no doubt and some good laughs too.
Shut Up & Dance - Paekākāriki Beginner's Club
