Evan and I will perform at 11:15. The Arts League is at 4226 Spruce St. in Philadelphia. More information on that milonga at: http://www.dancephiladelphia.com/tango.html#parties On Saturday night, we'll be at La Pausa, one of the nicest milongas of the month in Philadelphia. I've heard that a number of wonderful dancers from New York City are coming down for the night, so it's sure to be a particularly special evening. Milonga La Pausa is at 4701 Pine St. in Philadelphia. More info at http://www.milongalapausa.com/ Rumor has it that there will be an after-milonga at a to-be-disclosed location after La Pausa ends at 1 am on Saturday night. Come to La Pausa to find out where. (And if you're planning to come to the after-milonga and can pick up some food or drink to share, that would be great.) Other events this weekend include the Atrium Tango Brunch and the Collegeville Milonga. More info at http://tangophiladelphia.com/ 3.

I hope the listeros appreciate that neither one of these folks benefits from the list in any way and that it is, in fact, a lot of annoying work for them. You will note there are no ads or pop-ups on this newsgroup and to my knowledge, the list has never been compromised to scammers. Over the years several folks have tried to start their own newsgroup lists and they have never been more than marginally successful and most have died within months.

She is known for the clarity of her lead, the lightness of her follow, her articulate teaching and musical expressiveness. Students everywhere seek Rebecca's clear instruction on improvisation, technique, adornments and musicality. In the 1990's Rebecca along with Daniel Trenner ignited the growth of many tango communities in North America as a result of their inspiring teaching; many teachers in NY, Montreal and across North America have studied with Rebecca. Rebecca is the coordinator of the US' most extensive tango program at Dance Manhattan in NY, where she teaches and where she has been hosting their popular Monday night milonga for more than 12 years. EVAN GRIFFITHS is an emerging North American talent. A versatile dancer with extraordinary musicality, Evan is enthusiatically praised across the US for his fluid and dynamic qualities and for his richly textured dance. He is equally versatile in both the close and open dance frames, and dancing both lead and follow. Evan is often invited to teach, perform, play piano and DJ at North America's most prestigious tango festivals and has given workshops throughout the US, and in Berlin. An accomplished pianist, Evan plays regularly with the Portland based Tango Berretin orchestra, teaches tango music to musicians, has directed various festival tango orchestras and often DJs as well.

Todd and Marizabel are two of the few wonderful teachers and performers who are gifted with the intuitive ability to explain things to you in a very down-to-earth fashion. Solidly connected to the roots of Tango, they have brought their art to the broad place where they are as fluent in the Candombe spirit as in the Vals or any other component of Tango. We had the immense pleasure to study with them, on more than one occasion. We would like you too, to partake in the sharing of their wealth of information. Jean-Pierre & Bianca Subjects sample: Tango dance positions (close, promenade, counter-promenade...); Vuelta en Rodondo (continuous sacadas turning to the right); Milonga basics (prerequisite : Tango Intermediate level)... and much more.

As an instructor, his keen sensitivity to body movement and connection, awareness of space and a playful sense of musicality make classes inspiring and filled with important tools for your dance. He works beautifully in close embrace with both simple and complex figures, and can shift seamlessly from close to open embrace and back again. Damian spent the last 2 years teaching and dancing in England, and is currently on tour in the US through December. He was partnering with Jennifer Olsen of Portland, OR in the beginning of the tour, and now continues to teach on his own. He has extensive knowledge of both close-embrace and milonguero style dance and is also on the cutting edge of the most "nuevo" tango movements.

In the past eight years Ellen has created a milonga that is nationally renowned for the terrific food, ambiance, and the great dancers who travel from all over to dance there. THE FINAL TWO LONGA MILONGAS will be on AUGUST 23rd and SEPTEMBER 27th: Years ago, ROBIN THOMAS DJed the very first all nighter that Ellen hosted at her old studio in Pawtucket when he was just starting out. Since then he had been a very regular and favorite DJ at Providence Tango. August 23rd will be the last Longa Milonga with Robin Thomas. FELIPE MARTINEZ & ROSA CORISCO will be teaching workshops on September 27th and joining us for the final Longa Milonga with another favorite DJ, ADAM HOOPENGARDNER.

BIOS ---------------------------------------------- LUIS and DANIELA's tango is best described as joyful and heartfelt. Dancing together since 2006, they have quickly become known for their dynamism, musicality, connection and infectious energy . Their ultimate goal as teachers is to help students move better, achieve greater depth of connection, and find their own voice in the dance. Students in their classes can expect a wealth of information on tango technique, encouragement to increase their body awareness, lots of personalized feedback, and a healthy dose of humor to complement the mix. Born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, Luis started dancing tango in 1994 and became a professional dancer in 1997. He taught and performed for several years in Buenos Aires before tango took him to Brazil, Europe and North America. Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Daniela came to tango from a background in science and engineering. She started dancing tango in 1999 and brings lifelong training in music to the partnership. Together, Daniela and Luis have taught and performed throughout the U.S., in France and in Poland, including several festivals such as Portland Valentango and Tangofest, Boston Tango de los Muertos, Princeton Tangofest, NYC Tango Marathon, D. C. Tango Exchange, Chicago Tango Week and Festival Nouvel An, in France.

Anyone interested in the evolution of tango nuevo who wants to retain the essence and connection of traditional tango should not miss the opportunity to work with Andres. After returning from two weeks of study in Boulder with Gustavo Naveira (my tango Buddha) y Giselle Anne, I realize that Andres may be the closest I can get in NYC to Gustavo's pedagogical line of tango inquiry - the same line that flows through the disciples Chicho and Sebastian Arce as well. Like them, he has absorbed the masters lessons and taken it in his own personal direction, which is the holy grail I have been pursuing as well, but , um, more slowly, and with much more limited success, the day job thing. .. The class last week had three men and one woman. It was amazing, like a semi-private. This is terrific for me and the others, so I have mixed feelings about telling you all about it, but I also want to insure for myself the long term availability of Andres and Meredith in NYC, and it has to make economic sense for them to keep coming up from Philly. Andres has shown uncommon patience for my continuous questions as to why a follower will do "this" instead of "that", and how my body should move. So, if you are serious about tango as more than a mere social dance but as an improvisational evolving art form, you now have a valuable resource right here in NYC. Abrazos, Martin Nussbaum here are the details: Andres Amarilla's weekly seminar in NYC continues tonight. August's topic is improvisation. Tonight the focus will be on soltadas and alternative embrace. Location: Collaborative Arts Project 21, 18 West 18th Street, between 5th & 6th Avenues (see http://andresamarilla.com/NYC.htm#map for a map) Time: 8-9:30 pm Cost: $30/class or $125 for 5-class card. Upcoming Topics: July-August: Improvisation September: Fast Thinking & Quick Reaction October: Challenging Traditional Steps November: Flashy Traditional Steps ANDRES AMARILLA: BIO A native of Buenos Aires, Andres began dancing tango over 20 years ago at age 11. While still a child, he studied with and performed in the dance companies of Gustavo Naveira, Juan Carlos Copes, and Rodolfo Dinzel. At the age of 17, he partnered for a year with Geraldine Rojas (click http://andresamarilla.com/video.htm#geraldine for video), performing together in Buenos Aires milongas over 20 times. Later on, Andres participated in the closed rehearsals organized by Fabian Salas in which the new style of "nuevo tango" was essentially developed. Andres began teaching tango in Buenos Aires in 1997, and spent 2 years developing the tango community in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 2000-2001. In 2006, he began partnering with Meredith Klein (now his wife). Andres & Meredith launched their career together with a 6-month, 20-city tour in the US. In 2007, they returned to the US as well as traveling to Europe to teach in four countries. Although they have only been working together for 2 years, Andres and Meredith have already taught over 2,000 students in more than 30 cities on 4 continents. In February 2008, Andres & Meredith moved to Philadelphia, where they launched the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School http://philadelphiatangoschool.com/ with classes for beginner to advanced level tango dancers. Although widely known as a dancer of nuevo tango, Andres spent 10 years studying and dancing traditional tango before the nuevo style was developed. He strongly believes that a foundation in traditional tango is essential for anyone who wants to explore the movements and methods of anaylsis associated with nuevo tango. Through his teaching, Andres strives to give students a sure grasp of the fundamentals of tango, thus providing a strong foundation that will support students in whatever style they choose to dance. Since Meredith teaches in Philadelphia on Tuesday nights, Andres will be teaching in NYC on his own. For more information about Andres, including videos, please see http://andresamarilla.com.

Message-ID: <607c12ba0808150746r16e72b49p29eec7e0e6faf07c@mail.gmail.com> Dear Friends, Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend. The workshops on August 9th and 10th with Pablo Veron and Rachel Greenberg were outstanding. The classes were full and everyone came with great enthusiasm and undivided attention. With so much individual attention to the students, Pablo and Rachel created a special harmony amongst themselves and the rest of the group. We were lucky to get so much knowledge from Pablo Veron in an intimate environment. We could not get enough from him last weekend and are hoping that he will return to Chicago this year. Some of the guests commented that the milonga in the Versailles Ballroom was an experience not very far from one in a milonga in Buenos Aires. The ambiance, the music, and all the wonderful dancers made this night very special for us as well as for Pablo and Rachel. Argentine instructors Elizabeth and Humberto and El Pulpo joined us for the milonga. Having organized such a successful event, we are exploring the possibility of doing something in the near future. As soon as we have a firm plan, we will make an announcement. Also, we will soon send you a link to the photographs of both the workshops and the milonga.

A video of Andres and Meredith from this weekend's Baltimore Tango Festival is available at: http://andresamarilla.com/video.htm. Seminar Location: Collaborative Arts Project 21, 18 West 18th Street, 6th floor, between 5th & 6th Avenues (see http://andresamarilla.com/NYC.htm#map for a map) Time: Tuesdays from 8-9:30 pm Cost: $30/class or $125 for 5-class card. Upcoming Topics: July-August: Improvisation September: Fast Thinking & Quick Reaction October: Challenging Traditional Steps November: Flashy Traditional Steps ANDRES AMARILLA: BIO A native of Buenos Aires, Andres began dancing tango over 20 years ago at age 11. While still a child, he studied with and performed in the dance companies of Gustavo Naveira, Juan Carlos Copes, and Rodolfo Dinzel. At the age of 17, he partnered for a year with Geraldine Rojas (click http://andresamarilla.com/video.htm#geraldine for video), performing together in Buenos Aires milongas over 20 times. Later on, Andres participated in the closed rehearsals organized by Fabian Salas in which the new style of "nuevo tango" was essentially developed. Andres began teaching tango in Buenos Aires in 1997, and spent 2 years developing the tango community in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 2000-2001. In 2006, he began partnering with Meredith Klein (now his wife). Andres & Meredith launched their career together with a 6-month, 20-city tour in the US. In 2007, they returned to the US as well as traveling to Europe to teach in four countries. Although they have only been working together for 2 years, Andres and Meredith have already taught over 2,000 students in more than 30 cities on 4 continents. In February 2008, Andres & Meredith moved to Philadelphia, where they launched the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School (http://philadelphiatangoschool.com) with classes for beginner to advanced level tango dancers. Although widely known as a dancer of ???nuevo tango,?? Andres spent 10 years studying and dancing traditional tango before the ???nuevo?? style was developed. He strongly believes that a foundation in traditional tango is essential for anyone who wants to explore the movements and methods of anaylsis associated with ???nuevo tango.?? Through his teaching, Andres strives to give students a sure grasp of the fundamentals of tango, thus providing a strong foundation that will support students in whatever style they choose to dance. Since Meredith teaches in Philadelphia on Tuesday nights, Andres usually teaches the weekly seminar on his own. For more information about Andres, including videos, please see http://andresamarilla.com. CONTACT & PRIVATE LESSONS Andres is available to teach private lessons in NYC on Tuesdays. Please contact him at 805-280-6855 or andresamarilla at gmail.com to schedule.

They express with passion, tradition and innovation an elegant and precise style of dance, characterised by great virtuosity. Therefore they are acclaimed as true tango dancers both by the general public and by the ?milongueros?, and are mostly appreciated for the emotion they have been expressing in their dance throughout the world for the past decade. Andrea starts at the age of 8 to study Argentine folklore dances and ballet. In 1993 she graduates from the National Dance Institute "Maria Ruanova" (Argentina) as a professor of Argentina Folklore dances. It is at this time that her passion for the tango takes her to the most traditional "milongas" of Buenos Aires where she meets and learns from celebrated salon dancers like : Alberto Villarrazo, Leonardo Lerman, Ernesto Castello, Pedro Faraldo and others. In 1994 she meets Sebastian Misse with whom she establishes a tango partnership. Together they represent the culture of the tango all over the world. Also Sebasti?n starts his studies of Argentine folklore dances at the age of 8. In 1988 he takes his first tango steps. His attraction for the tango takes him to the most famous tango salons of Buenos Aires together with his sibblings Andrea, Stella and Gabriel. In 1990 he starts training with his most influential teachers Miguel Angel Zotto, Osvaldo Zotto and Antonio Todaro. In 1994 he meets Andrea Reyero and they become a profesional tango couple.

Sept. 5-9 in Pittsburgh Join us in welcoming Susana Miller of Buenos Aires back to Pittsburgh! Highlights include: - 2 milongas - Special rate for novices - Master class with limited registration SUSANA MILLER of Buenos Aires is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the "milonguero" style of tango. Clarin, the major Buenos Aires daily paper, called her one of the four most important influences on contemporary tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and Gerardo Portalea. The milonguero (or "apilado") style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It emphasizes the connection between the couple and musicality, resulting in a form of tango with a natural connection between dancers. Susana encourages students to employ more rhythm in their dance, to discover their own dance vocabularies, and to learn how to shape and shrink these in space. For women, she encourages active following, in which the woman interprets the messages that the man?s body and the spirit are sending. Instead of using preset patterns, she imparts a basic choreographic vocabulary that allows dancers to creatively shape their own language.

Message-ID: <207396.90098.qm@web46408.mail.sp1.yahoo.com> Continuing with our theme of preserving authentic tango from the best milonguero maestros of Milonga, we will work this whole month on material from Lampazo. For those who do not know, Lampazo was a great milonguero dancer and teacher who for many years supervised the practica at Sin Rumbo, "La Catedral de Tango" en Buenos Aires. Known for his particular style of milonga, he was one of the first non-professional, social dancer milongueros to travel to Europe and the USA in the early 1990s and taught many young dancers who are important proponents of tango today their first steps. This gave the world a new perspective on tango. Extremely rare films from his private lessons and practicas will be shown and background material of his most popular figures will be discussed each week. Don't miss this rare and special opportunity to learn from the past! Link to film of Lampazo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR1BFWMXCuI Fridays in the month of September 8 to 9 PM CHELSEA STUDIOS, 151 W 26th st, 5th fl, NYC, NY 10001 By Anton Gazenbeek and Sergio Segura also on Fridays 7-8pm: Smart Follower practica Class #1 In the SMART FOLLOWER Practica you will learn in the old Buenos Aires system in which women learned from men the secrets of following, body control, posture, elegance, precision, axis & balance, and strong and sharp embellishments properly placed in the dance. The best female dancers such as Milena Plebs, Guillermina Quiroga, Vanina Bilous were trained by men (mainly Todaro) and Todaro's techniques will be a main principle in this class. Don't miss this chance to really improve your dancing and learn in a fun environment with other followers! Men followers are welcome. Leaders FREE the last 20 min.(7:40) Class #2 After the Smart Followers Practica we will have a MILONGA LISA AND VALS CRIOLLO only class in which we will teach all the secrets of the great milonga maestros such as Pepito Avellaneda and Lampazo.

Almost none of the younger dancers today have heard of him. Al and I were students of his and recommended that he teach at Stanford Tango Week (don't remember the year). It was the first time he had ever been outside of Argentina. He was such a lovely man. By the way, Al offers a DVD of Lampazo's material: see our website www.tangobar-productions.com. Abrazos, Barbara Garvey School of Traditional Tango wrote: >Continuing with our theme of preserving authentic tango from the best milonguero maestros of Milonga, we will work this whole month on material from Lampazo. For those who do not know, Lampazo was a great milonguero dancer and teacher who for many years supervised the practica at Sin Rumbo, "La Catedral de Tango" en Buenos Aires. Known for his particular style of milonga, he was one of the first non-professional, social dancer milongueros to travel to Europe and the USA in the early 1990s and taught many young dancers who are important proponents of tango today their first steps. This gave the world a new perspective on tango. Extremely rare films from his private lessons and practicas will be shown and background material of his most popular figures will be discussed each week.

The best female dancers such as Milena Plebs, Guillermina Quiroga, Vanina Bilous were trained by men (mainly Todaro) and Todaro's techniques will be a main principle in this class.
