[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

2-Day Seminar in Tango Improvisation & Technique
With Andres Amarilla & Meredith Klein

HIGHLIGHTS

- Additional workshops in Nuevo Tango
- Outdoor Milonga

Do you ever:
- Have trouble remembering what you learned in a class or
workshop?
- Wish you could improvise more effectively?
- Have difficulty writing down tango steps or ideas?
- Wish you could easily trade steps from workshops with
friends in other cities?

For the past ten years, Andres Amarilla has been developing
THE CODE, a simple system for notating tango steps.  While
The Code is useful for remembering steps you create or
learn in workshops, its real beauty lies in how it makes
the structure of tango completely clear.  Of the thousands
of ways to put simple tango elements together, most of us
only use a tiny fraction of the possibilities. 
Understanding the structure of tango enables us to
improvise more effectively, decrease our dependence on
workshops, and give us new ideas...our own ideas.

On July 15 & 16, Andres & Meredith will present an
intensive in Pittsburgh, combining instruction in The Code
with classes in tango technique.  The technique classes
will not only help you figure out how to execute your new
steps but will teach principles that help you solve future
technique problems on your own.  You don't need to be a
software engineer, math genius or cartographer to learn The
Code.  It's simple, intuitive and user-friendly.

By the end of the intensive, you will be able to:
- Write any step or combination of steps.
- Easily create your own sequences.
- Improvise more effectively.
- Understand the structure of tango.
- Easily "steal" cool steps from videos or from the dance
floor.
- Organize information learned in past workshops and learn
more quickly in the future.
- Figure out all 72 possible ganchos for the follower (as
well as all possible boleos, sacadas, colgadas, etc.).
