One of nuevo tango's brightest young couples are going to be in New York City for the Holiday weekend: Mario Consiglieri & Anabella Diaz-Hojman! Here is their schedule: Saturday, July 5: 1:00pm - 2:15pm Sacadas for lead and follow 2:30pm - 3:45pm Technique for boleos with energy Sunday, July 6: 11:00am - 12:15pm Spirals and torsion for movement 12:30pm - 1:45pm Secrets for Colgadas & Volcadas All workshops are intermediate/advanced. Couples optional; pre-registration required for all for gender balance. Pricing: $ 25 per workshop -- any two $ 45 -- all four $ 80 Location: Stepping Our Studios 37 West 26th Street, 9th Floor Information and registration: www.yesimlaturca.com laturca.yesim @ gmail.com. Bios: Mario has established himself as the new rising star of Nuevo Tango style of dance (mentors such as Fabian Salas, Gustavo Naveira and Chicho Frumboli), further developing a style of Tango which incorporates innovative steps with creative musicality, fluidity, and an increased capacity for self-expression. In 2004, Mario became the first North American instructor invited to teach at the Congreso Internacional the Tango Argentino (CITA) in Buenos Aires, every March. Since 2002, Mario has proved himself to be a dedicated and popular teacher - traveling around the US and giving workshops and performances. His belief that the body can be used in many ways to reflect the different moods in the music, has led him to investigate variations in the qualities of movement, then applying his knowledge to paint movements on the floor, much like an artist would on his canvas. Mario is a dynamic dancer, a charismatic performer and a great teacher. Dancing since she was a child, Anabella has studied contemporary dance, martial arts, and most recently done intensive studies with Chicho and Eugenia, the contemporary masters of Tango Nuevo. She is one of the most beloved social dancers in Buenos Aires, and has an incredible sensitivity as a follower. Her knowledge of the dynamics of dance and musicality make her an especially valuable asset in a classroom. She has been touring the US with Mario since 2004.

As most creative tango teacher Metin considers tango as a dialogue ( asopposed to monologues by the dominant men ) between two independentand actively participating partners and follows the concept of invitationand acceptance. This heightened respect for women is the foundation ofthis vision which is inclusive : everyone can dance tango regardless of age, background, or body type. While the stage dancers bring their art to audiences, tango still belongs to the people from which it came from. Metin was invited to dance at the White House in 1998 and he has taught tango over 100 cities through out the world.

His belief that the body can be used in many ways to reflect the different moods in the music, has led him to investigate variations in the qualities of movement, then applying his knowledge to paint movements on the floor, much like an artist would on his canvas. Mario is a dynamic dancer, a charismatic performer and a great teacher. Dancing since she was a child, Anabella has studied contemporary dance, martial arts, and most recently done intensive studies with Chicho and Eugenia, the contemporary masters of Tango Nuevo. She is one of the most beloved social dancers in Buenos Aires, and has an incredible sensitivity as a follower. Her knowledge of the dynamics of dance and musicality make her an especially valuable asset in a classroom. She has been touring the US with Mario since 2004.

They have been also teaching in Spain, France and Germany. Joseba and Bakartxo are focussing on the flow of energy within the couple, in close and in open embrace. They dance with every fibre of their body. Based on their training with Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Chicho Frumboli and Pablo Villarraza and Dana Frigoli they have created a style of their own: their Tango Nuevo is soft, lascivious and dynamic. And they love traditional music. How well this goes together they showed in ?De Recuerdos y Tango" (their show "Of Memories and Tango"). They are inspired by the refined subtlety and joyous swing of old Tango music. In their classes they work very intensely with each individual participant and know how to explain even complex sequences of movements. More information about the teachers at www.joseba-bakartxo.com For intermediate level. Languages of instruction: English, Spanish Fee: EUR 645 per person per week Price includes 15 hours of teaching, lodging in doubleroom and food (breakfast and dinner, all beverages inculded) for the entire week of the course, including the booking charge. There is an extra charge for single rooms of an additional EUR 120 per week. Please contact us about details of instruction, lodging and food. !! Availability for one more couple and one single gentleman !! Tango at Villa La Rogaia ? Come to Italy for a combination of Tango, Arts, Culture, Food, Wine and more... ?

It is situated in the hills above Lake Trasimeno between Rome and Florence.

Apparently, as with many festivals this year, the economy is having a significant impact on attendance. Unfortunately, there has been so little response for Meet in the Middle that we feel it is necessary to cancel the event as a festival. This is not an easy decision for any of us, but the necessity is a reality that needed to be addressed before we got any closer to the dates. While Meet in the Middle, as a festival, is officially canceled, Karen is planning to host a free tango party that weekend. The party will not involve the instructors previously announced, meals will be available at a cost to be determined, and the event will be a complete reorganization of the original festival plan. Karen will be sending a follow-up email letting everyone know the details of her party plans once they are fully developed. Again, our apologies for needing to cancel the festival... and our thanks to all those who offered their support. We hope to see you at the party... If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us...

Having inherited the tango tradition from the great Argentine masters, Pablo Veron is recognized both in Argentina and worldwide as having been instrumental in the rebirth of this mysterious, sensual, and sometimes whimsical dance. Time Out said, "Pablo Veron has God's feet." "A good tango dancer is someone who has rhythm and who has a good musical ear. He also has respect for the woman; to know what to do at the right time with the right partner. He adapts himself to the woman. He makes her feel that she is the best dancer. He dances for her." - Pablo Veron Pablo Veron & Rachel Greenberg will be conducting intensive workshops exclusively for intermediate/advanced dancers in a progressive manner in Chicago on August 8 and 9. We will accept registration in advance, as there is limited space. Please register at www.regonline.com/pabloveron . 2-day workshop and milonga is $220 1-day workshop and milonga is $120 We really liked the location during the festival last week Chicago Tango Week and decided to host Pablo's workshop at the same place DoubleTree Hotel in Skokie. The management of the hotel kindly gave us the same affordable rate of $85 per night.

Plan B: better, best, beautiful, bitchen, beat the heat, beer-budgeted bash. Well you get the picture. Plan B includes, free supervised practicas, free milongas, free tango in the park, free air conditioning, free sleeping space ( if you don't snore, and bring your bedding), and free ambiance that can't be beaten anywhere. I already have volunteer, Mike Tennant of St Louis, offering to DJ and perform at the park with Natalia. I am hoping other area/regional teachers will also offer their services for our little BIG party. Jim Roberts of Kansas City wrote me: I think it would be great to make the Mt. Vernon thing a kind of Practica Grande! Maybe you could challenge people to each bring some little "trick" to share with the group. This could be a great alternative to the trend toward a "professional class of tangueros." At Stone Soup there was some talk about this issue. Teachers competing for attention with flashy, complex moves to attract students and make everyone feel like they've always got another level of difficulty to master. I think a lot of teachers are afraid to emphasize the simple, elegant, graceful and musical dance based on a good connection with a partner. It doesn't sell as well as flash. Maybe your Mt. Vernon event could pioneer a new style in tango festivals. Thanks, Jim, I think we can do just that. You still have to reserve a motel, get here, and buy a $50 meal ticket in advance. If you don't want to eat with us, donate 50 for the utilities. Also bring cash for the ice cream truck and bar service. Meal ticket includes 5 meals, snacks, and soft drinks. If you are feeling guilty about so much for so little, bring paper products, snacks, or whatever you want, all will be appreciated. Schedule: Friday: Sept 19 Early Bird Milonga 2-6 pm, dinner 7:00 pm, Milonga 9-12 midnight. Saturday: Brunch 10-12pm, Practica A 12-2 pm, Ice cream truck 2:00 pm, 3-5 pm Practica B, 6-7 dinner, dancing in the park 8:00, Performance 9:00 pm. Milonga back at Murray's till ??? Saturday all day is the "Not So Square Art Festival" going on all around the square. Rest your feet, buy art. Also, Farmers Market going that day. Sunday: Brunch 10-12.

Having inherited the tango tradition from the great Argentine masters, Pablo Veron is recognized both in Argentina and worldwide as having been instrumental in the rebirth of this mysterious, sensual, and sometimes whimsical dance. Time Out said, "Pablo Veron has God's feet." "A good tango dancer is someone who has rhythm and who has a good musical ear. He also has respect for the woman; to know what to do at the right time with the right partner. He adapts himself to the woman. He makes her feel that she is the best dancer. He dances for her." - Pablo Veron Pablo Veron & Rachel Greenberg will be conducting intensive workshops exclusively for intermediate/advanced dancers in a progressive manner in Chicago on August 8 and 9. We will accept registration in advance, as there is limited space. The workshops will be held at DoubleTree Hotel, Skokie on Saturday August 9 and Sunday August 10. Please send an email to tangoeclectique at gmail.com if you are interested in reserving a spot. We also need advance payment to guarantee the spot.

As mentioned above, the level of the workshops will start at an intermediate level and progress gradually to an advanced level with a high degree of difficulty. Please be aware that he will not dilute the material or lower the level of difficulty of the topic even if he sees that some of the participants are having difficulty in keeping up with the class. We hope you understand that doing so would not be fair either to the instructor or the participants who expect a workshop of the highest quality. Prices: A two day workshop (6 classes of 90 minutes each) and milonga package is $220 A one day workshop (3 classes of 90 minutes each) and milonga package is $120 The milonga price is $25 for those who have not purchased either of the packages A Saturday milonga with a performance by Pablo will be held at DoubleTree hotel Versailles ballroom (milonga price included in the package).

If you are a tangoholic, this is the summer festival for you. Our emphasis is on quality of teaching. Therefore, we offer packages of four lesson periods of 1h45 with one or more teacher couples.

Another tango friend of mine, Fortuna, is putting her apartment up for vacation rent. This one is in Recoleta, on Suipacha close to Santa Fe. The location absolutely could not be better. You can walk to everything--Plaza San Martin, Avenida 9 de Julio, banks, supermarkets, Calle Florida, the Subte, milongas La Ideal and Maipu 444, all the tango shoe stores. And it's totally quiet and next door to the police station! It's more or less a Studio, but there is a wall between the large bedroom and the living/dining/kitchenette. Full bath with tub/shower and bidet. New hardwood floor. Fully equipped with air, heat, phone, cable TV, microwave, internet, linens, maid service once a week--$650 usd/month. You would be dealing only with her, no agency. Fortuna doesn't speak English or have email, so I'm helping her out. Please contact me with questions or availability.

Of course, you always can call or text 312-60TANGO (312-608-2646). 3. Jan Glennie-Smith of Virginia recently wrote the following about Pulpo's teaching: "Questions that create more questions, creating more questions until the questioning becomes the journey and the destination. El Pulpo's approach introduces TIME as a technique. He focuses on an attention to intention, a reverence for the subtle interplay of the body in partnership and the expansive quality of TIME: reminding us tango is a dance to pleasure not pressure, and in doing so creates a style that is soft and sensual, languorous and supple. El Pulpo's teaching untangles tautness and tension freeing soft strength. TIME is the Zen of tango: to connect rather than resist; to allow possibility rather than rushing to conclusion; to abandon expectation by being balanced to respond in any direction. It takes TIME to understand this, so El Pulpo teaches. "Why are we drawn to tango in the first place? Through some sixth sense which suggests the possibility of a passionate connection to a feel, to a way of moving that is an emotional response. And though we recognize the potential, we come to it often without knowledge to support or to surrender. So as we seek the vocabulary and a technique allowing the expression of that initial response, we can find ourselves working so hard we forget the most important thing of all: that we are in an embrace with another human being for the joy of dancing. El Pulpo demonstrates that through movements which form questions, we allow a partnership in balance, an embrace that is enfolding not entrapping. TIME to feel the floor under foot and to extend from a place of equilibrium. A mutual agreement to surrender for the duration of the music. The lesson of seduction not abduction."

Damian started dancing in 1991 with renowned milonguero masters, including ?El Pibe Palermo? (the former partner of Carmencita Calderon). After 8 years of dancing this style, he started training with Gustavo Naveira and Mariano ?Chicho? Frumboli, and began teaching tango in different cities around Argentina until 2002. In 2003, 2004 and 2005 he was invited to tour Central America and Europe. Together with Dutch and French dancers he took part in ?Tangokobinat?, a tango show presented in Germany in February 2005. In 2006 he assisted Fabian Salas in CITA, the annual tango convention in Buenos Aires. Since May 2006, he has been teaching extensively in Europe in such places as Scotland, England, Holland, Italy, and Spain and in 20 cities in the USA. Damian?s dance is characterized by a masterful combination of nuevo tango elements with traditional tango aesthetics. Seamless transitions between the various elements and a keen sense of musicality are emphasized in his dance and are applied in his teaching and training. (You can see Damian dancing in quite a few videos on youtube.) We will have an all-levels class and a dance on Friday evening, 2 classes and an evening dance on Saturday, and 2 classes on Sunday followed by our weekly milonga. Prices are $25 for one class, $45 for 2, $85 for all 4 Sat. & Sun. classes (including the Sat. dance), $100 for the whole weekend (including both dances). The Friday and Saturday dances are $5 each with the purchase of at least one class, or $10 without. A limited number of private lessons is available so if you are interested in taking one, let me know soon. They are $70/hr. I will be sending out more details in the near future. Hope to see you here!

Having inherited the tango tradition from the great Argentine masters, Pablo Veron is recognized both in Argentina and worldwide as having been instrumental in the rebirth of this mysterious, sensual, and sometimes whimsical dance. Time Out said, "Pablo Veron has God's feet." "A good tango dancer is someone who has rhythm and who has a good musical ear. He also has respect for the woman; to know what to do at the right time with the right partner. He adapts himself to the woman. He makes her feel that she is the best dancer. He dances for her." - Pablo Veron Pablo Veron & Rachel Greenberg will be conducting intensive workshops exclusively for intermediate/advanced dancers in a progressive manner in Chicago on August 9 and 10. We will accept registration in advance, as there is limited space. The workshops will be held at DoubleTree Hotel, Skokie on Saturday August 9 and Sunday August 10. Please send an email to tangoeclectique at gmail.com if you are interested in reserving a spot. We also need advance payment to guarantee the spot.

As mentioned above, the level of the workshops will start at an intermediate level and progress gradually to an advanced level with a high degree of difficulty. Please be aware that he will not dilute the material or lower the level of difficulty of the topic even if he sees that some of the participants are having difficulty in keeping up with the class. We hope you understand that doing so would not be fair either to the instructor or the participants who expect a workshop of the highest quality. Prices: A two day workshop (6 classes of 90 minutes each) and milonga package is $220 A one day workshop (3 classes of 90 minutes each) and milonga package is $120 The milonga price is $25 for those who have not purchased either of the packages A Saturday milonga will be held at DoubleTree hotel Versailles ballroom (milonga price included in the package).

Message-ID: Dear Tangueros, It is with tremendous pleasure that I announce the return visit and upcoming workshop with Tango luminary, Roberto Reis - teacher, choreographer, and quite simply one of the greatest Tango dancers of this epoch! Please mark your calendars for the weekend of September 19, 20. and 21. As always, in order to provide the best possible learning experience, we will cap registration at 30 participants or approximately 15 couples. Like so many great Tango dancers of today, Roberto Reis began as a small boy studying Argentine Folkloric Dance. Since that time his career trajectory has taken him through more than 45 countries. He has danced in Tango's most prestigious shows throughout the world and at home in Buenos Aires, and upon the most recognized stages of the world including our own Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Acclaimed not only as a Tango dancer, but as a choreographer, Roberto has been choreographic director for numerous shows, including Piazzola Tango in 2004/2005 and Taconeando, in 2005/2006. Individual choreographic works include: Lo que vendra, the final duet in the show Forever Tango; Libertango for ice dancers Pasha Gritsuk and Evgeni Platov (with which they won the title of World Champions in 1997 and won the Olympic Gold Medal in 1998.) And Los guardianes del angel, a documentary upon the life of Anibal Troilo. As Roberto Reis does not teach often in the States, this is a rare opportunity to study and interact with him in an intimate class setting, with much personalized coaching. I have included the following links so that you may take a moment to view his work - which speaks volumes. But beware...it may prove a portal to infinity as there are many, many other stunning performances to view by the great Tango master! http://youtube.com/watch?v=_Fvps23OGqw http://youtube.com/watch?v=_E0EoYBLPgo More information can be found at www.rincondeltango.net in the Calendar's "Special Events". If you have questions or would like to reserve your place for this exceptional workshop weekend, please contact me at email maradeltango at yahoo.com or at cell 520.250.6583.

ALL 9 Classes and Workshops for $210 w/ pre-registration including Monday?s Practonga PLUS discounts to the 4th annual Pulpo?s Week (Nov. in BsAs) for paid attendees. Also, ask Phoebe about 'gas rebate' if traveling more than 60 miles one way to study with El Pulpo. Jan Glennie-Smith of Virginia recently wrote the following about Pulpo's teaching: "Questions that create more questions, creating more questions until the questioning becomes the journey and the destination. El Pulpo's approach introduces TIME as a technique. He focuses on an attention to intention, a reverence for the subtle interplay of the body in partnership and the expansive quality of TIME: reminding us tango is a dance to pleasure not pressure, and in doing so creates a style that is soft and sensual, languorous and supple. El Pulpo's teaching untangles tautness and tension freeing soft strength. TIME is the Zen of tango: to connect rather than resist; to allow possibility rather than rushing to conclusion; to abandon expectation by being balanced to respond in any direction. It takes TIME to understand this, so El Pulpo teaches. "Why are we drawn to tango in the first place? Through some sixth sense which suggests the possibility of a passionate connection to a feel, to a way of moving that is an emotional response. And though we recognize the potential, we come to it often without knowledge to support or to surrender. So as we seek the vocabulary and a technique allowing the expression of that initial response, we can find ourselves working so hard we forget the most important thing of all: that we are in an embrace with another human being for the joy of dancing. El Pulpo demonstrates that through movements which form questions, we allow a partnership in balance, an embrace that is enfolding not entrapping. TIME to feel the floor under foot and to extend from a place of equilibrium. A mutual agreement to surrender for the duration of the music. The lesson of seduction not abduction." Schedule of Classes and Workshops with Norberto ?El Pulpo? Esbrez and Stephanie Lepeu - July 23 thru July 29, 2008. NOTE: ?All Levels? does NOT mean ?beginners?? ?

Donation $5.) The idea of the two musicality classes is to develop the skill of musical interpretation in order to make everything you do more adjusted to the music. Without adding steps there is a new world to explore if you play with the music. The improvisation class is about teaching the language of the dance so that dancers can build up their own steps and get rid of patterns. Prices are $25 for one class, $45 for 2, $85 for all 4 Sat. & Sun. classes (including the Sat. dance), $100 for the whole weekend (including both dances). The Friday and Saturday dances are $5 each with the purchase of at least one class, or $10 without. Only a few spots are left for private lessons so if you are interested in taking one let me know soon. They are $70/hr.

Tete is known for his unique musicality and effortless creativity. Many important teachers have themselves studied extensively with him, to the point where his influence on Argentine tango has become pervasive. For instance, the Nuevo Tango concept of "change of direction" is a creative space that he began exploring decades before the words "Nuevo" and "Tango" were ever spoken in sequence. Tete is one of the last of his breed, a self-taught dancer transplanted from the Golden Age of tango that excites the admiration of todays great professional dancers, and many people consider him a grandfather to all of us in tango, for his creative discoveries, the twinkle in his eye and sense of humor, and his generous willingness to share what he knows. Because his musicality is a deep part of his creativity, Silvia and I have worked very hard to create a workshop program that gives him the opportunity to pass on some of his knowledge in this area.

Please feel free to see if it's right for your events! What is Register2Dance.com? Register2Dance.com is an online tool that allows you to easily accept online payments for all of your dance events. This tool also allows you to record offline payments, so that you can have centralized reports of all of your event details. Designed explicitly for dance organizers, Register2Dance.com takes into account the unique nature of this business. Features: * Online Registration Easily create webpages for online registration. Your dancers pay you through Amazon.com. * Manual Registration Even if your dancers do not pay with Register2Dance.com, you can still maintain all of your event records in one central place. * Automatic Confirmation Emails Automatically send confirmation messages when someone registers for your event. Or manually send confirmations, if you prefer. * Class Roster View or print up-to-date rosters for your events. * Email Lists Send email messages to event participants without creating separate email lists. * Income and Expense Management In addition to registration income, enter other event income/expenses to generate a consolidated report of all event finances. View yearly reports to make tax time easier. * Other features? Register2Dance.com is always improving. If there's a feature that you need for your business, let me know (jim at register2dance.com) and I'll see what I can do. How much does it cost? Whenever some registers online for your event, Register2Dance.com charges a 5% + $0.50 fee. You can choose to pay this fee yourself or pass it on to your customers. This fee pays for all credit card processing charges, so there are no hidden fees to receive your money. All other features of Register2Dance.com are available for no charge. What's the history of Register2Dance.com? Several years ago, I created an online registration system for Tango Rio's events in Atlanta. Over time, we added more and more features to make our lives easier. Register2Dance.com extends this system, and makes it available to other dance organizers. We recently beta tested the system for Gustavo & Giselle Anne's visit to Atlanta, and now it's ready for all of you to begin using it. The system is still new, though, so I welcome feedback on how to improve it. Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Write me at jim at register2dance.com. I hope that you'll find that Register2Dance.com becomes an invaluable tool for running your dance business.
