Lost Tango dancer

Hi there,I'm New to Nelson and was very excited about meeting some new people and dancing some Tango tonight- I turned up at the Nelson dance studio on Collingwood road at 20.00, as listed on the calender, but found that it was the middle of a ballroom class!! Can anyone point me to the right time and place?  Are there any weekly practicas in Nelson? Many thanks, SarahSee More
