They will be in Chicago from October 29-November 5 and will do a weekend of workshops on October 30 and 31.They will also be available for private lessons during their stay. Biography Gustavo Benzecry Sab? & Mar?a Olivera are a young couple of dancers that represent the most authentic way of experiencing an artistic expression known around the world for its elegance, sensuality and expressiveness. Dancers of the so-called "Tango Sal?n", they show this dance the way it is danced in its original ambience: the "milongas" of Buenos Aires, the Capital city of Argentina. They teach regular classes at one of the most prestigious dance halls of that city, the "Sal?n Canning" located in the Palermo quarter. They started working as a couple 4 years ago, and soon they became one of the most distinguished couples of Tango Sal?n, being recognized by their pairs because of their elegance, musicality and creativity. During 2008 and 2009 they've toured more than 20 cities including New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston, Chicago (where they participated in the last Chicago Mini Tango Fest with great success - you can click on this link to watch their performance during the festival: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ9Y7-eoEpc) and Portland, where they got the highest records for their instruction in the October Festival. Besides teaching and performing, Gustavo Benzecry Sab? has written two tango-related books, the Tango Danza Glossary - Key Tango Argentino Dance Terms (Abrazosbooks - 2004, endorsed with a prologue written by Carlos Gavito and Juan Carlos Copes, and an epilogue by Miguel Angel Zotto) a dictionary containing more than 300 terms, and Embracing Tango - Techniques and metaphors between Tango and life (Abrazosbooks, 2006 - prologue by Mar?a Nieves and epilogue by Aurora L?biz). This last one, translated by Mar?a Olivera, is the first written approximation to the original Tango Sal?n (also known as "close embrace") style, that has been danced in Buenos Aires for over a hundred years. It includes the explanation of 6 basic sequences as well as articles related to the embrace, the improvisation, the dance floor and the surrender. It is finally the first written guide to the so-called "milonga codes", the rules of behavior and interaction of people in the context of the "milonga". Copies of this last book are going to be available for purchasing during the workshops.

WHAT: Tango Classes for ALL LEVELS TangoConnection? Express 2009 Classes WHO: YOU & Dance of the Heart staff Deborah Sclar, Brian Dunn, Anna Gebhardt, Dean Baumann, Ian Caldwell, Aja Duniven, Laura Mace, Travis Webb, and ?? WHEN: Friday Aug & Sept '09 6:30pm Fundamentals ($5) 7:45pm Continuing ($5) 9pm Milonga (cover charge varies) WHERE: Mercury Caf? 22nd & California, Denver www.mercurycafe.com COST: $5 per class $10 per 2-class session STARTING THIS FRIDAY and continuing through Friday, September 25, please join us for our special Mercury Caf? TangoConnection? ?Express 2009 Edition? classes - shortened versions of our popular, on-going TangoConnection? 2009 edition Boulder-based classes. We?ll cover much of the material we deliver in our seven regular Boulder 2009 Edition class sessions, but the Merc classes provide an opportunity to receive these classes at the fabulous bargain price of $5 per class! ($10 for both classes in a given Friday night session). These tango classes are designed to let you join AT ANY TIME ? EVERY class is a suitable starting point! Now in its third major revision, in the TangoConnection? class curriculum, we approach the fundamentals of tango from seven distinct perspectives. We name each perspective after a well-known tango orchestra to highlight the non-hierarchical relationship between the sessions while providing students with fascinating cultural, historical and musical contexts to increase your enjoyment and pleasure in the music and movement. Once you take the 6:30pm fundamentals class on any given Friday, you'll have the foundation necessary to effectively participate in the 7:45pm class that same night, which works the same perspective at a deeper level. No matter WHICH session you choose in August and/or September, you?ll emerge with something you?ll be able to use in your tango from then on: You?ll have an awareness and experience of the fundamental ?tango connection? and how to cultivate it in your tango dancing; You?ll understand the structural fundamentals of ?Tango Theory 101? and how to use it in executing and designing your own individual tango; You?ll clearly understand how a particular night?s perspective on tango fits within the range of possible tango experiences. A note about our staff: We are thrilled to be able to offer you the most well-trained tango teaching staff in the known universe! (Well, OK, at least in Colorado). The members of our Colorado staff (listed above) have manifested an incredible collective commitment to mastering tango. As a group, they have collectively attended FIFTY-SIX week-long advanced seminars with world-class tango teachers since 2003! If you?re able to attend ALL SEVEN Friday nights in August and September, you?ll get an ?Express Edition? exposure to the foundations of tango that is unavailable anywhere else ? and at an INCREDIBLE bargain price! If you?re feeling ?stuck? in your tango development, this ?rediscovery? may be just what you need to get to your next level. If you?ve taken tango lessons from other teachers, you may be surprised how effectively we can ?embrace and extend? whatever you?ve already learned from them by placing your current level of mastery within a larger tango context that offers you new ideas to explore in your dance. See you Friday in class at the Merc! Abrazos, Brian Dunn & Deb Sclar Dance of the Heart http://www.danceoftheheart.com ?Building a Better World, One Tango at a Time?

The goal of this intense workshop is to help advanced dancers go to even a higher level in tango and to clean and perfect what they already know. Aspects of this uniquely different workshop are (but not limited to): - seeking movement from a pure place not from a style - creating movement without having to think about it - dance as movement without the necessity of a step - dynamics within the couple, roles and function - and for fun...expansion and compression technique in sacadas and ganchos. Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo, renowned international performers, teachers, producers, and choreographers, have appeared on stage throughout the world and on television. Guillermo was nominated for a TONY award for his choreography for "Forever Tango". Fernanda created the choreography for the opening night of the famed Tulsa Ballet Company's tango. They are the only non-Asian dancers invited to perform at the Imperial Theater in Tokyo. In constant demand at all tango festivals and congresses, they are consistently sold out whenever they perform in Europe and Asia. They are famous for their inspirational presence and precise technique... and are one of the most charming, friendly and humorous couples in tango. This is their first workshop in L.A. in two years and it is exciting to have the opportunity to study with them. The workshop is on Saturday, August 15 from 2 to 5PM. Cost is $50 per person They will be available for privates starting Thursday Aug 13. To reserve your space in the workshop or to schedule a private, please call (818) 997-9419 Workshop and privates will take place at The Tango Room Dance Center 4346 Woodman Avenue Sherman Oaks, CA 91423 www.thetangoroom.com From info at rogaia.de Sun Aug 9 11:39:42 2009 From: info at rogaia.de (info@rogaia.de) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 17:39:42 +0200 Subject: [Tango-A] EU-W: Last availability for TANGO HOLIDAYS with Joseba Pagola & Bakartxo Arabaolaza at La Rogaia August 29 to Sept 5, 2009 Message-ID: TANGO WORKSHOP AT VILLA LA ROGAIA in Umbria, Italy with Joseba Pagola & Bakartxo Arabaolaza August 29 to Sept 5, 2009 http://www.tango-holidays.com and http://www.tango-urlaub.de Availability for one more couple at special rate ! About the teachers: Joseba & Bakartxo come from San Sebasti?n (Basque country) where they have started a wave of Tango enthusiasm. 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.

For years they have inspired their students to dance tango with feeling, musicality, cadencia, and connection - the way it is danced in Buenos Aires. The atmosphere in their classes is relaxed, personable and lively, and they place equal emphasis on the lady's role as the man's. Technique and the essence of tango, both fundamental to dancing well, are stressed in whatever step is being shown. Their instruction is highly respected and sought out by beginning and advanced dancers, as well as other teachers and choreographers. In addition to their studio, Ney and Jennifer regularly travel and teach in Poland, Singapore, Malaysia, Romania, Slovenia, Australia, and New Zealand as well as extensively all over North America. They were one of the invited maestros at the 2009 Capri Tango Festival in Capri, Italy. www.studiotangovida.com Hosted by: HavetoTango.com Need more information?

They dance in 2 tango companies: "Argentina" and "All That Tango" of Sebastian Arce in Paris. Their dancing is strongly inspired by Mariano ?Chicho? Frumboli and Fabian Salas but have developed a completely unique style that combines Tango with modern dance. They focus on body expression, individual dancing and meeting each other as a couple in the dance. They are interpreting the music in their very own way, and their changes between slowing down and acceleration create an almost unbelievable fascination. Their classes are focused on improvisation, musicality, changes of distance in the dance, leading and dissociation. Spontaneity, pleasure and a natural way of moving in the dance are very basic. They like to give their students the technical skills to develop more and more your own creativity and musical expression.

Maria and Gustavo are great teachers, with many years of experience and a personal approach, and they will help you improve any aspect of your tango, at any level of dancing. Maria and Gustavo are resident teachers at the famous Salon Canning in Buenos Aires and spend half of their time traveling and teaching around Europe, the US and South America. During their last trip to New York last the spring Gustavo and Maria delighted us with some fantastic performances. Check out the videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/franber1 The workshops and guided practica will be held at Ripley Grier Studios at 520 8th Avenue, 16th floor. In addition to the workshops, Maria and Gustavo will teach pre-milonga classes and will also entertain us with a few performances.

WITH GUSTAVO & GISELLE HALF-SEMINAR SESSIONS AVAILABLE!! Do you and a partner want to attend the six-day ?Tango Milonguero? Boulder seminar, but are unable to afford the cost?? Well, now is your chance!? We are opening some of the remaining spots to couples who wish to complete only the first three days of the seminar (Monday, Tuesday, half of Wednesday) OR the last three days (Thursday, Friday, half of Saturday) for only $298 per person, about HALF the normal price of $595.? This is especially convenient for those who may already be traveling to Denver for the Denver Milonguero Festival on September 3-6, and who want to top off their festival plans with an encounter with Gustavo & Giselle?s peerless tango seminar experience. As an additional inducement, we?ll include with purchase of the half-price options your admission to the Monday Welcome Milonga on September 7 AND the Saturday Gran Milonga (with Gustavo & Giselle performance!) ? by itself, a $20 savings for a couple! GUSTAVO & GISELLE?S SEMINARS Many of you require no introduction to Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, whose stature in the world of contemporary tango is unparalleled.? World-class dancers, ?teachers of teachers?, accomplished choreographers, with deep experience in the social tango of Buenos Aires milongas, their combined forty years of tango experience and profound dedication to their art makes studying with them an incredibly rich and deeply rewarding experience.? We ourselves attended their very first week-long seminar in March 2003, and we?ve taken other seminars with them every chance we get, racking up hundreds of hours of seminar time in the intervening years.? From the embarrassingly enthusiastic reviews of our own previous TangoEncuentro(tm) seminars with them, we know that many of you value their teaching just as highly.? Gustavo & Giselle have just returned from three weeks of sold-out seminars and packed classes in the heart of San Telmo in Buenos Aires.? Here in Boulder, Colorado, we are deeply honored and privileged to have them for a fourth seminar in three years (more than any other location in the USA) for an intimate and focused learning opportunity.? While other G&G classes and seminars are packed to overflowing, we are firmly committed to maintaining the high quality of our event with a limited admission policy.? You can be assured that you will be able to interact with the maestros in the Seminar in the way that the maestros most prefer - in a magnificently spacious new studio, in a? group no larger than twenty-five couples, with ample opportunity to work with Gustavo & Giselle directly. WORLD PREMIERE ?TANGO MILONGUERO? SEMINAR Over the years, a lot of people have spoken with great conviction and strong opinions on the subject of ?tango milonguero? ? but very few of them alive today were actually ?there at the time?!? Gustavo?s long experience in the milongas of Buenos Aires, and his key role during tango?s popular resurgence since the mid-1980?s, makes his testimony and his teaching of overriding interest to any tango dancer who wants to understand and embody the essence of the tango social dance in the 21st century.? Many of us who have taken G&G?s advanced seminars are often stunned to hear his recounting of how social tango as we know it navigated the eddies and currents of the last twenty-five years of its history, from the early days of the ?petiteros? revival to the contemporary globe-spanning social tango scene in all its chaotic glory.? You?ve heard the opinions of the rest ? now find out what went on from someone who was there as it happened ? learn from a couple who know how to impart what they know in the form of world-class teaching methods that have revolutionized the understanding of the structure of the social dance! YOU MUST HAVE A PARTNER ? WE WILL NOT ROTATE PARTNERS IN THE SEMINAR.? YOU CANNOT COMPLETE REGISTRATION UNTIL YOUR PARTNER ALSO REGISTERS. REGISTRATION Pre-registration is important!? We are retaining some full-week slots for those who may be finalizing their plans for the whole week, so it?s very possible that we will run out of available half-seminar slots rapidly, especially for those wanting to attend the first half of the seminar (Sept. 7-9) in conjunction with a ?visit to the Denver Festival.? If your registration is refused by the PayPal website, please contact us to find out the current status of the waiting list. Full program descriptions, logistics, and online registration with credit card via PayPal is available on our website at http://www.danceoftheheart.com/CTE2009Main.htm ?Please choose the appropriate PayPal button for your selection. ?You will have to register more or less at the same time as your partner in order for either of you to complete registration ? please mention your partner?s name in the customer information part of the PayPal checkout process, or by email if you intend to pay by check or cash.? If you intend to pay by check or cash, please write us an email or call us, stating your intention, and we will hold a space for you for a short time while we manage the funds transfer in whatever form for both you and your partner. Please contact us by email or at 303-938-0716 with any questions you may have. See you in September!
