[Tango-A] Purdue Tango Workshop 4/13---15/2007

[Jillian Rumpza]

Please mark your calendars for the first Purdue tango weekend "Tango your
way to Purdue" from Friday 04/13/2007 to Sunday 04/15/2007 in West
Lafayette, IN.



We will be hosting Homer & Cristina Ladas from San Francisco, and Somer
Surgit & Agape Pappas from Turkey/Chicago at the Purdue Campus for the
weekend of April 13th -15th. There will be seven workshops, a practica, and
three great Milongas with the DJ's Joe Grohens, Somer Surgit, and Homer
Ladas! Tango dancers of all levels are encouraged to attend workshops and
Milongas.



** The instructors:*

Homer & Cristina Ladas:

Homer and Cristina started their tango obsession long before they met each
other.  Each with over 10 years of experience emphasizing a fusion of social
tango ideologies...  As teachers they are committed to creating a positive
class environment where small epiphanies can & do occur in their students.
It has been said, on more than one occasion, that few dancing couples
improvise with such skill, personality, and fluidity of movement.  Married
since May 2002 they continue to explore deeper facets of their relationship
to each other and to tango.



Somer Surgit & Agape Pappas:

Somer has studied tango with Metin Yazir in Turkey. Together with Agape they
have studied extensively with Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne, Cecilia
Gonzalez and Chicho Frumboli in Buenos Aires. Somer has taught workshops and
performed with Cecilia Gonzalez in 2005 and with Eugenia Parilla in 2006.
Somer and Agape teach a combination of traditional and contemporary
Argentine tango, giving emphasis to techniques that make people dance with
fluid and natural elegance.
