THIS MONTH FEATURING A PERFORMANCE OF HEALING SONGS WRITTEN RECENTLY IN INDIA FROM PENELOPE VIVERO Radical Faeries and Queer Spirits gather in south London at the Beltane Full Moon, a time when the veils are thin and nature spirits close. Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon bring our attention to the union of matter and spirit, making Beltane a celebration of Life itself - long celebrated in pre-Christian Britain, Beltane may pole dances remained common in Britain until the 17th century. Radical Faeries have been part of the modern pagan reclaiming of the wild and free spirit of Beltane in our sanctuaries since the 1980s. Let's bring some of that Faerie Liberation to central London! Before we DANCE we will EARTH OURSELVES THROUGH HEALING SONGS FROM PENELOPE VIVERO - starting 8pm. Penelope Vivero, radical faerie devotional folk artist will take us on a musical healing journey, moving between stillness, deep feeling, and moments of joy and connection through song. After spending time in India, she has written a new body of work which she will be sharing for the first time at this gathering. We gather from 7 to set up the space and greet each other, cast a circle at 8pm for the healing journey after which we drum, dance, socialise and play through the evening. There's lots of drums and percussion to share around, you are welcome to bring your own instruments too, your own refreshments and maybe snacks to share. Entry suggested £5 - £10, cash at the venue, or via PayPal [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shokti](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paypal.com%2Fpaypalme%2Fshokti%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExZVlKQno3TTQ4RjRLN2VpeXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5LqS1GEne5hAslMoFpAIV4czbJpbz6BRt-min2ov2V7QLojCSgNCXsnhgU5w_aem_Qyiz-k7fhdKAmvv5SmTqfQ&h=AT7cfRWf5q1Gi_2UwvvgVdLG2McSf8IE-amTNrE5xcSxoQ8NNOAxNQmC1x_HdBm_sneCJf3PRnn1lfoZK6RF0yrRoFS2el078fnSO9HbPAV_DR9DMQmZybjMhQNbpH5ffK52SR_C80JJ3Q&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT4q4ymPesQZEfzVBzadxMlTeElyzn1fzU-_Jf_hQxWCtv56-cIaQEGyGjwfrINSYDhk3MA6HyZn0z2OrhAcckZgILaLE1Cr4qQm1xg2M_iZm9kCa7YIh88-lG0-j7QWRbQekwvFzk_b1qPKujNuSPCNOMZpkA) NOTAFLOF - No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds.

**😍😍🎶 Sunday 03/05: VICTORIA OLIVELLA’S Welcome Milonga + Live Music QUANTUM ENSEMBLE** We are so honoured to welcome, this spring, the **Worldwide Tango Salon Vice Champion VICTORIA OLIVELLA** (Buenos Aires), who will be teaching at Los Angelitos an exclusive class, and celebrate at her Welcome Milonga with the **Live Music of QUANTUM TANGO**. Victoria Olivella is an Argentine tango dancer and teacher recognised for her elegance, musicality, and strong technical foundation. She gained international attention as the World Vice Champion of Tango in 2022, a title that established her among the leading figures of the contemporary tango scene. She came so close to being world champion – at this level, the difference between sub-champion and world champion is infinitesimal ;-). Known for her refined style and expressive interpretation, Olivella performs and teaches at festivals and events across Europe and beyond, often partnering with renowned dancers. Her teaching is especially appreciated for being clear, warm, and practical, focusing on technique, connection, and musical awareness developed through years of experience. You will find her teaching impressively warm and useful, giving tips that she developed in her dancing along the years. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the best tango has to offer. **🤩🤩 PROGRAMME:** Victoria will teach with Bruno both classes. We will start with he beginner / improver lesson on the theme of the Ocho Atras, and follow with the 3pm Fabulous Volcadas: learn the tricks and technique from a vice champion to make your Volcadas to die for – well not that far but almost ;-). Your milonga Los Angelitos will follow, for all to enjoy, with Live music and a TDJ. What a feast! * **[https://tanguito.co.uk/sunday/](https://tanguito.co.uk/sunday/)**
