Please hurry up to reserve your room and places in the festival. Let's dance where the civilisations dance ! 5th International Istanbul Tango Festival 3-8 July 2008 http://www.istanbultangofestival.com (*) "This performance was developed with a group of artists, who were tired always to lead the same debates, with no other objective, than to pay homage to the Tango. With our performance we would like to enlighten the critical eye of the audience without filling emptiness with acrobatics, without provocation, without the desire to conquer or to seduce, but only with the intention to show, that each aspect of the Tango is a part of one. Even if the igniting feeling can be different, the artistic expression remains the same. We set out on an arranged journey through the Tango's different aesthetic facets to show you the fact that there is no new or old, no Salon or Milonguero, but there is just ONE Tango, which wants to whisper or to cry, to love or to hate."

This is the end of our fall. You can expect temperatures to be in the 60s ( 16 - 20). I have 1 bedroom available during June. There are lots of reasons to stay with me. My place is beautiful and located in Palermo Soho near Plaza Italia. I am on the 17th floor of a secure building. The view is amazing. You can see Uruguay on the other side of the river. Enjoy your coffee or glass of wine, use the wireless connection with your laptop while enjoying the view. (Or come inside and use my computer to check your email.) The bedrooms have new beds with pillow top mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets, lots of decent hangers, a full closet, and many other nice amenities. Both rooms have air conditioning and heat that is controlled individually. You get a cell phone to use while you are here.The best part is it is quiet. (A real plus since Buenos Aires is the loudest city in Latin America) You can use all the common areas including the kitchen and the living room. I include an Argentine breakfast of tostadas, queso blanco, jams, butter, coffee, tea, and mate. Little goodies often show up in the breakfast basket for guests to share. I also supply all the paper products and soap. From my apartment you can walk to 3 milongas. (Canning, La Viruta, Villa Malcom) You can take public transportation directly to almost all the others. You can be at El Beso or Porte?o y Bailarin in 15 minutes. Ideal, La Milonguita, and Maipu 444 are also 15 minutes away. Others such as Gricel, Nino Bien, Lo de Celia are almost 20 minutes. (This is by public transportation - taxis are much faster of course) Of course you are always welcome to sit with me at my table in the milongas I go to. I can recommend teachers, classes, places for music, the best places for shoes, if you want to see a dentist, plastic surgeon, or get your hair cut. If you are staying somewhere else and need someone to help you with translations, milongas, or anything else you can think of, drop me an email. My rates for 2008 are still among the lowest and very reasonable for what you get. Check out my website at www.lavidacondeby.com or my blog at www.tangospam.typepad.com. Roxie and I hope to see you!

The cover is $7, the food is delicious, the milonga is from 9:00 p to midnight. An announcement - make your reservations for Tuesday, May 20th. There will be free Salsa and Tango lessons before a fun Milonga with a buffet dinner at the beautiful Ridgemoor Country Club (6600 W. Gunnison, Chicago) to mark the 47th year of Women in Real Estate. Tango dancers, come and enjoy dancing to the exciting music of Alma de Tango Ensemble in a beautiful setting overlooking a fantastic golf course. Reservations by May 14th at $35.00; after May 14th,$40.00. Contact Mary Jane Oliver by cell phone: 708-436-1498 or by e mail: mjromc at gmail. com. The cocktail hour will start at 5:30 p. More details will follow. An advance notice - one last thing, you probably want to know how the April 12th Harper College Concert went since many of you were disappointed because it was all sold out. Alma de Tango Ensemble tore the roof down with a standing ovation that wouldn't quit. It was a fantastic performance. The concert was enhanced by the sensuous dramatic dancing of Daniel and Ramona and the sensually tender dancing of Misha and Olga. What beautiful performances. Look for a similar happening in mid July. Only, buy your tickets earlier. See you along the way.

Susana Miller will be back in Chicago for the first time since the first Chicago Mini Tango Festival in 2006. Her workshops in Chicago in 2005 were sold out. Her workshop in Chicago this year will be on the weekend of June 7th and 8th. You will need a partner to participate in the weekend workshops. We can help to partner people but only on a limited basis. Start looking for your partner now!!!! SUSANA MILLER BIO. Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the "milonguero" style of tango or what Argentines call "apilado." This style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It is a strictly social style that emphasizes musicality and the connection between partners. Susana has researched and studied the dancing of the older milongueros, each of whom has created their own unique style of tango. She has been able to decipher their distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations, and is gifted in her ability to convey these to students. 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 leader's body and the spirit are sending. 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. SUSANA MILLER JUNE 7 & 8, 2008 WORKSHOPS Saturday, June 7, 2008 12:00-1:30 A: Fundamentals (all levels) Posture, balance, axis, walking and embrace; hearing and feeling the music, rhythm, rhythmic walking, basic choreography, including changes of direction in "apilado" frame. 2:00-3:30 B: Dancing into the floor (intermediate) The quality of tango is when it is danced into the floor. This occurs when the body contact is at the correct points. Balance, fluidity, musicality depend on these points of contact. With them you can paint pictures on the floor, using brushes, pencils and tapping for such orchestras as Pugliese or D'Arrienzo. 4:00-5:30 C: Vals (intermediate) Turn (giro) and conterturn (contragiro) with voleo. A method to learn how to study. Sunday, June 8, 2008 12-1:30 D : Milonga (intermediate) 3 steps in one, development of turn, another turn, backwards, and a traspie from a single step. 2:00-3:30 E: Turning on a Dime (advanced) connection, velocity and turning on a dime 4:00-5:30 F: Figures with Double Sacadas (advanced) Runs (corridas).

Don't miss the opportunity to study with this great master teacher!!! **$110 Early Bird Workshop Special if Registered by Friday May 16** Registration is on for Susana Miller's workshop on Saturday May 24 and Sunday May 25 as well as the pre Milonga Class @ Paradiso on Friday May 23 and the Leaders/Followers Technique Class on Tuesday May 27 @ Viva Tango Studio, Club Lusitania. Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the "milonguero" style of tango or what Argentines call "apilado". This style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It is a strictly social style that emphasizes musicality and the connection between partners. Susana has researched and studied the dancing of the older milongueros, each of whom has created their own unique style of tango. She has been able to decipher their distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations, and is gifted in her ability to convey these to students. 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 leader's body and the spirit are sending. 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.

They said, "Zorba is mad." But it was the dancing ? only the dancing that stopped the pain." Zorba, in "Zorba the Greek" by Nikos Kazantzakis Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of Tango, I am sending this for those dancers that are planning to arrive this weekend for the Denver Memorial Day Festival that will begin next week. We invite you to join us dancing this Sunday, May 18, 2008, 5-9PM, at the Restaurant Little Europe. It is Milonga Sans Souci and it is your chance to be a part of something very old, very precious and passionate. Milonga Sans Souci honors all of the traditional codes of conduct - el cabeceo, separate seating arrangement, and the best music. At this milonga, we honor Argentine tango. We honor the embrace... and its sublime, hearbreaking poetry... We honor the singers, the musicians, the orchestras, and all of the men and women that have carried the dance to us through the decades of Argentine history. We show our grattitude to them and to each other by honoring the traditional codes of conduct that allowed the dance to thrive, and that allowed men and women to share a few fleeting moments in each other's precious embrace. We are delighted that our DJ for the evening will be the incomparable Mr. Ruddy Zelaya! The Restaurant Little Europe will begin to serve dinner at 4PM. If you plan to have dinner with friends, please call the restaurant to make a reservation. This restaurant is an amazing little place with incredible Mediterranean and Russian cuisine. You will also be able to have dinner after the milonga. What: Milonga Sans Souci When: Sunday, May 18, 2008, 5-9 PM Where: Restaurant Little Europe, 1842 S. Parker Road, Denver, CO, 80231, Tel. 303-995-2006 (10 minutes from Cherry Creek in Denver). Cost: $4 at the door if you arrive 5-6PM, $8 at the door after 6PM. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can answer any questions you may have. We hope that you will dance your feet off at the fabulous Mercury milonga this evening to Martin's gorgeous music, and at Carol's party tomorrow, breaking all the rules and having lots of fun with wine, food and dancing, and then go home and sleep a little. Then wake up, put on some special clothes, imagine yourself in an movie about foreign lands and times past: with love found and lost; with memories, real and imagined; and gorgeous music, devastating to already burning, feverish mind... We will meet you there...

ABOUT JAIMES: North American tango phenomenon Jaimes Friedgen hails from a family of dancers and artists and has since early childhood been immersed in a world of creative movement. With extensive training as a gymnast and a background in a variety of performing arts, including theater, music, and many forms of dance, Jaimes came upon tango at the age of fifteen. He has since learned from and w orked with many of the most respected figures in the tango world and remains unclassifiable, transcendent of style and category. He has spent several years dancing, teaching, and performing throughout North America, Europe and Asia, and always continues to explore new territory within the dance. As one of the most popular teachers in the U.S. today, it is not surprising that he is often booked more than a year in advance. He is well respected by his peers for his creativity, musicality and deep insight into the inner workings of the dance. Countless tango teachers both in the States and abroad have benefited from studying with Jaimes. He is driven to be a full time tango teacher by his love of watching people continually grow and blossom through their exploration of tango, and feels fortunate to be a part of that process. He is also a dynamic performer, and has brought much inspiration to dancers everywhere through his rare combination of fluidity, subtle elegance, and fierce animalistic intensity. His absolute love of tango is undeniable and shines through every movement he makes and every word he utters. For more information about Jaimes and his tango school, see the8thstyle.com. Very Limited HOUSING with local dancers is available for dancers who register by May 22. Housing will be tight because it is commencement weekend, so register and contact us soon! Email housing at tangocats.com with dates, allergies, etc. Jaimes will be available for PRIVATE LESSONS during the day on Monday for $100/hour. Email workshop at tangocats.com to schedule a lesson.

Buenos Aires Blues, June 6-8, will be a weekend full of Tango, Blues, and everything in between. We'll be featuring 2 days full of classes from some of the most innovative teachers in the Southeast Tango and Blues scenes, and as a special guest, even one of Canada's top Blues instructors. Registration is now open, and through May 23rd, registration is only $80 ($75 for students)- for the entire weekend. That's 8 classes (plus 2 intro classes), and 3 nights of dancing- with late nights. This is a steal! However, we sold out last year, and the same is highly likely his year. So don't wait to register! Visit our website for instructor/dj bios, videos (on our FAQ page), and registration info. http://www.buenosairesblues.com See you on the dance floor, -Mike (the Girl) Legett (901) 283-6779 -- "Curiosity is one of those insatiable passions that grow by gratification." --Sarah Scott From meredithleeklein at gmail.com Sat May 17 16:51:12 2008 From: meredithleeklein at gmail.com (Meredith Klein) Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 16:51:12 -0400 Subject: [Tango-A] NA-E: Extraordinary Opportunity to Purchase Tango School and Building in Providence, Rhode Island Message-ID: <34cd2b720805171351v52ad262ka24690666742b217@mail.gmail.com> Founded by Ellen Mayer in 2000, Providence Tango has become a nationally and internationally known tango destination through events like the 30-hour New Year's Milonga, the Alternative Festival and the monthly All-Night Milonga. These events regularly draw dancers from throughout the United States, Canada and even Europe. In addition to offering these popular events, Providence Tango (PT) has been working steadily over the past 8 years to build the tango community in Providence, Rhode Island (which is 1 hour from Boston and 3.5 hours from NYC). PT offers 6 weekly classes for beginning through advanced students, as well as a weekly practica and milonga. Current tango teachers at Providence Tango include Ellen Mayer and Robin Pfahning. Ben Bogart and Thuy Lam were resident teachers at PT before relocating to Buenos Aires. Guest teachers have included: Homer and Christina Ladas, Eric Jorissen (coming in May 2008), Luciana Valle, Javier Rochwarger, Mariana Galassi, Andres Amarilla and Meredith Klein, Evan Griffiths, Alex Krebs, Jaimes Friedgen, Filipe Martinez and Rosa Corsico, Korey Ireland and Mila Vigdorova, Somer Surgit and Agape Pappas, Robin Thomas, Marika Landry, Carlos and Tova Moreno and Sharna Fabiano. In 2003, Ellen Mayer bought a converted factory building and transformed a 2,800 sq. ft. space on the first floor into one of the most beautiful places to dance tango in the United States. Upstairs, she renovated a 2,600 sq. ft. space into an absolutely exquisite, award-winning (Rhode Island Monthly Annual Design Awards 2005) loft apartment, designed by architect and tango dancer, Nick DePace. (Please see http://www.providencetango.com/building.html for photos.) The building also includes: a second dance studio (1,700 sq. ft.), an in-law apartment and three commercial rental units. Two of the three commercial units currently have tenants (the other is used as storage space for Providence Tango), and the studios are rented on an hourly basis by local yoga and dance teachers, as well as on an occasional basis for events like wedding receptions. Total monthly revenue from rental of the studio (excluding tango activities) and commercial units totals at least $4,000. Due to its outreach activities to the Providence community over the past 8 years and to the many newspaper articles written about the studio, Providence Tango enjoys excellent brand recognition and a wonderful reputation throughout the city, even among folks who've never set foot in a tango class or milonga. The PT community (students, milonga-goers and teachers) is known for being friendly and welcoming, and PT benefits from a large pool of enthusiastic volunteers who assist with the day-to-day running of the studio and with events. PT is repeatedly asked to teach classes by institutions such as Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design, Rhode Island College, Providence College and local community centers and dance schools. There are currently more requests for such classes than the PT staff has time to teach. After 8 years of devotion to the studio, Ellen Mayer is ready to move on to other pursuits and is searching for the right person or people to take up where she leaves off in maintaining and growing Providence Tango. The cost for the building and Providence Tango is $700,000. More information about the sale of PT and the building is available at http://www.providencetango.com/building.html. Please do not hesitate to contact Ellen Mayer at 401-728-9393 or ellen at providencetango.com with any questions. I am only one of many, many dancers around the country and globe who would be heart-broken if Providence Tango were to cease to exist. Please help us get the word out about this extraordinary opportunity. Thank you very much!!!!

The focus in all of these workshops will be on the body mechanics of the movements. Tango is walking, and all of the situations encountered in figures are also walking. By studying walking in many situations dancers can discover the principles of many families of figures. Rather than learning canned figures, Robert Hauk will teach students to construct figures in the moment, leading to greater freedom on the dance floor, both for navigation and improvisation.

In the last few years, he has been developing methods to teach and demystify folklore. Randy also plays the Bombo Leg?ero which is the primary percussive instrument in Argentine folklore. During his last stay in Argentina he started teaching folklore classes and taking group field trips to Pe?as to practice. Randy and his students inspired a couple of milongas to add folklore to their regular routine which went over very well. The classes were taught mostly to Argentine tango dancers wanting to learn Zamba. He worked on the music and improvisation within the choreography. Randy has been exploring the inseparable bond between tango and folklore. Folklore has many elements that can enhance your tango in footwork, musicality, connection, energy and cultural context. Folklore also allows you to interact on another level with your fellow dancers. Folklore adds balance to the energy of a milonga with its fun festive nature. His goal is to have the whole room dancing!! Randy predicts that in the next year Zambas will be played more often at the end of the Chacarera sets.

Clarin, the major Buenos Aires daily paper, called Susana Miller, one of the four most important influences on contemporary tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and Gerardo Portalea. Susana Miller will be back in Chicago for the first time since the first Chicago Mini Tango Festival in 2006. Her workshops in Chicago in 2005 were sold out. Her workshop in Chicago this year will be on the weekend of June 7th and 8th. You will need a partner to participate in this intensive weekend workshop program. Individuals can sign up to take the full 6 class package or purchase a full day pass. Please contact us before registering if you do not have a partner. We will attempt to gender balance the enrollment so that you can find a partner during the workshop. There will be limited enrollment and those individuals registering with partners for the 6 workshop classes will have priority. People that sign up for an individual class will need to sign up with a partner. SUSANA MILLER BIO. Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the "milonguero" style of tango or what Argentines call "apilado." This style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It is a strictly social style that emphasizes musicality and the connection between partners. Susana has researched and studied the dancing of the older milongueros, each of whom has created their own unique style of tango. She has been able to decipher their distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations, and is gifted in her ability to convey these to students. 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 leader's body and the spirit are sending. SUSANA MILLER JUNE 7 & 8, 2008 WORKSHOPS Saturday, June 7, 2008 12:00-1:30 A: Fundamentals (all levels) Posture, balance, axis, walking and embrace; hearing and feeling the music, rhythm, rhythmic walking, basic choreography, including changes of direction in "apilado" frame. 2:00-3:30 B: Dancing into the floor (intermediate) The quality of tango is when it is danced into the floor.

The apartment has one bedroom, one kitchen, one bathroom and living room with balcony to the street. It has internet access, telephone and other amenities. Perfectly located across the street from Club Grisel, where the best tango dancers go to dance. It is four blocks away from Lo de Celia - another great milonga- and close to the best milongas del Centro by public transportation- busses and subway. There are several good restaurants, food stores and fruit and vegetable markets right in the same block. For more information and availability contact Susana Ghi at susanaghi50 at hotmail.com
