3:00 - 4:30 p.m.  - Workshop for improvers to intermediate
Creating your own tango - The use of improvisation
One of Tango’s basic fundamentals is that there is no choreography 
or pre-established movements to be done. Starting from this concept, 
the workshop will focus in understanding the structures of movements 
to allow the dancers to create their own sequences within the limits of 
the space, the music and the characteristics of each partner.

5:00 - 6:30 p.m. - Workshop for advanced intermediates upwards
Volcadas for Tango Salón
Volcadas are amongst the most popular movements in Tango, but
usually, it’s very hard to do them in the context of a milonga because 
of lack of space. The class will focus in developing volcadas in a very 
small piece of the dance floor as well as in the exploration of possible 
variations to this movements to adapt it to the music.

$25 for one workshop, $45 for both workshops.
Discount for couples: $45 for one workshop, $80 for both.

7:00 - 8:00 p.m.  Live music by  CORAZON AL SUR
Beautiful traditional Argentine tangos and ballads from the golden age of
tango. 
Hailing from Buenos Aires , Claudio Ortega’s warm vocals are inspired 
by the classic tango singer, Carlos Gardel.  When Stephanie Newsom’s 
lyric piano goes jazzy and Peter Newsom’s rhythm guitar gets rocking, 
you will hear the classic tangos with a new fusion  twist. For the past 
few years this Pan-American trio has brightened milongas and clubs in 
the SF Bay Area with the intensity of their compelling emotional melodies. 
The nostalgia of a home far away, the poignancy of an early love 
remembered, and the triumphs of enduring love are all traversed in their 
dynamic repertoire.   Check out their new CD:   www.cdbaby.com
