Tango Nuevo Elegante About the teachers: Carolina started dancing at the age of 6, and throughout her career she has practiced different dancing techniques. She studied ballet at the world-famous Teatro Colon (the most renowned opera house in Latin America) and later modern dance at the famous ?Taller de Danza Contemporanea del Teatro San Martin?. She discovered tango in 1995, and since the year 2000 Carolina travels around the world giving workshops and exhibitions. She took part as a master teacher and dancer in the ?Congreso Internacional de Tango Argentino? (C.I.T.A) -the world largest annual tango event that takes place in Buenos Aires every March-, from 2001 until 2008. Applying all her artistic knowledge from other dances, she brings to tango, style and elegance, as well as a profound understanding of the technique and dynamic of the dance, and also of the woman?s role in it. She is one of the most renowned master teachers and performers in the world of Argentine Tango. Donato Ju?rez is one of the most talented of the new generation of tango dancers in Argentina. Musical, elegant, precise, driven, Donato teaches tango as he dances it: with energy, passion and sensitivity. From his hometown of Mar del Plata in Argentina, he has been part of a group of enthusiastic young dancers that has continued to tirelessly explore the intricacies of this dance. He has studied with many renowned teachers who were quick to notice his impressive technical skills. Donato works with many distinguished partners all over the globe, including Cecilia Gonzalez, Carolina del Rivero and Lucia Mazer. Donato has been invited to international tango festivals in the United States, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Europe (Italy, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Greece, Switzerland, Finland), and Mexico and has performed in many theaters in Argentina. He has been invited to perform with Cecilia Gonzalez in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 International Argentine Tango Congresses (CITA) in Buenos Aires.

Tango Fantasia is the form of social dance exhibition. It was the highest form of tango dance before it went to the stage in a professional form. Still an amateur dance, fantasia was based on creativity in each couple, high dance skill and playfulness. Small, informal exhibitions of this style in milongas were commonplace in Buenos Aires in the 1960s, '70's '80s. Tango Fantasia was used later for stage tango routines. Traditional steps and figures will be explored in the course. This course is for couples Only! We accept couples only for this 12 weeks course but do have a list of available single dancers. We do not match up couples however.. After this class you have the option to stay to our milonga/vals class, starting 8pm, with a special price of $30 for a pack of 5 lessons.

Southwest Airlines also has very low fares to Buffalo. ? Please e-mail me if you are interested in attending, so I can at least make a rough estimate.?

Ruben was born, bred and still living with his wife Haydee in the Buenos Aires barrio of Pompeya. Ruben known as "Ruben de Pompeya" is 69 years old. He began dancing when he was 14 years old. In those days before professional teaching developed, he learned from his brothers and male cousins and friends. They would practice together every year to participate in the annual carnival. Although highly respected for his dancing, Ruben never wanted to take his dancing to a professional level. He describes himself as a humble man who has always kept a low profile. Ruben worked for 43 years in the Argentine Post Office; the first 10 years as a locksmith. He later became responsible for the Department of Locksmiths of the Argentine Post office. Enriqueta has danced tango for over 15 years. She presently teaches group and private classes in Buenos Aires. The classes are for both men and women. She is an expert in Salon Tango - Milonguero Style, Tango Waltz and Milonga. Enriqueta also specializes in teaching technique for women and has led many courses and seminars. She performed at the Third and Fifth Metropolitan Championships in Buenos Aires. She has done a number of performances in Buenos Aires including at Salon Canning, Cachirulo (Maipu 444), and at the Confiteria Ideal at the First Milongueando Festival in Buenos Aires. She has been an instructor at Susana Miller's La Academia and presently teaches at Maipu 444. Enriqueta has taught and performed in San Diego, Iowa, Chicago, and at 2008 May Madness at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Enriqueta also speaks English, having lived for several years in New York City. Enriqueta is also an artist by profession. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please, read more about them and the subjects they will be teaching here: http://www.tangomagdalena.com/workshop_ruben_enriqueta.html Here are some of the videos of their performances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN4S7akBQwo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfjsLjob0bM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFuTPjS38TY&feature=related Also, a playlist for both Ruben and Enriqueta performing with various partners: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6C70848FC876246F http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=01DB07E74997C217 Join us in the fun.

This works for singles, doubles or quads. Free shuttle from the airplort. We expect attendance to be in the 400 range (not too big, not too small... just right). Daniel Trenner has often been called the "Pied Piper of Tango". Daniel was fundamental to the widespread introduction of argentine tango in the US, giving workshops across the country from the mid-1990s. Daniel's workshops launched numerous tango communities, as well as the teaching careers of many tango fanatics.

ABOUT THE MEMORIAL DAY TANGO FESTIVAL IN DENVER - 7 Buenos Aires style milongas, Line-of-dance, Tandas and Curtinas - 2 Classes per day from Thursday to Sunday - Outdoor BBQ and Milonga by Tango Colorado at Cheesman Park Pavilion This is another "Tango Festival For Dancers, By Dancers", which means everything is designed with the dancers in mind. Dance floors will be arranged with tables around the edge so walkers don't disturb the line of dance. The floors will be crowded, but courteous. Expect two or three lanes and Buenos Aires style floorcraft. DJs will play tandas with curtinas. Most people are familiar with and use the cabeceo to get dances, and the teachers will emphasize navigation and floorcraft in their classes. WHAT'S DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL ABOUT THE DENVER TANGO FESTIVALS? Workshops are oriented to SOCIAL tango dancing, not stage tango. The level is generally pretty high, and many advanced dancers will be attending workshops. This is where you meet and get to know partners for dancing later at the milongas. We will be presenting the ever popular "Teacher Training" classes with Brigitta Winkler and Tomas Howlin. Open to serious, advanced dancers. Please see the class schedule for a list of all the classes and teachers. This is still tentative, meaning that specific classes and teachers may shift around. PRICING - Milonga Pass $75 (6 milongas) - Workshop Pass $90 (4 classes) - Festival Pass $155 (5 milongas and 4 classes) - Saturday Arrival Pass $155 (4 milongas and 4 classes) - Additional Classes $35/day (2-classes) Teachers will include: - Daniel Trenner, Northampton, MA - Christopher Nassopoulos & Caroline Peattie, San Francisco - Robin Thomas & Marika Landry, New York & Montreal DJs will include: - Robin Thomas, New York - Ramu Pyreddy, Washington, DC - Sabah, San Diego (Alternative) Tom Stermitz http://www.tango.org Denver, CO 80207 From tangoactivities at rominamarcelo.com Sun Feb 8 12:45:08 2009 From: tangoactivities at rominamarcelo.com (Marcelo Solis) Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2009 09:45:08 -0800 Subject: [Tango-A] NA-W: This coming week.

Timmytango the weekend of March 27 thru 31. workshop will be held, Saturday and Sunday at the Nutriweight Solution dance floor, in Garfield Hts, Ohio at the intersection of Rockside Road and Turney Road Monday night classes will be held at Oberlin College Maximiliano Gluzman is a porteno dancer who proudly continues the tradition of his home town's social dance. He learned his first tangos when he was a child, bought his first tango record when he was fourteen, and began to pursue the dance when he was twenty one. His tango, one of personal identity, inherits the inventiveness of the Buenos Aires tradition and was acquired through years of working with world known instructors, as well as through researching the social tango of the old masters. His subtle firm lead is the result of both practice and countless nights of dancing in Buenos Aires. And through his unique, flowing musicality he has found an endless vehicle for creativity and expression. His professional life in tango is divided into two main areas: researching the dance of the old generation milongueros and teaching. Precisely, his teaching is about sharing the magic of the porteno dance with the rest of the world: its technique, its culture, and its mystery. A magic that, as difficult as it is to conceptualize, he has been able to transmit to his students from many countries. He has taught and performed in Argentina, Europe and the United States of America, both in workshops and seminars as well as in numerous festivals. He is a talented, admired DJ who has played both in Buenos Aires and in several events abroad. Maxi has also taught at the Chicago Mini Milonguero tango festival, Many times at The University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. and last yeat at Tango Sutra. for more information contact Timmy 440/748-2204 tangocleveland

See you there! Iowa City Tango Club is partnered with the IC Senior Center to present this special event* = = = = Maximiliano Gluzman started dancing in 1997. He soon discovered milonguero style and studied with the most renowned Argentine teachers in this style: Susana Miller, Ana Maria Schapira, Pedro "Tete" Rusconi, Pocho y Neli, Ricardo Vidort and Jorge Kero. Even if his main source of practice has been dancing in the milonga through endless hours, he has also embraced teaching as a main activity. For several years he taught at Susana Miller's La Academia in Buenos Aires at all levels as well as with Milva Bernardi. Maximiliano was one of the organizers of the International Milonguero Meeting that took place in Buenos Aires in February 2007. The tango that Maxi transmits is based upon communication between dancers in a continuously close embrace, musical interpretation and respectful navigation in the dance floor. Consequently, his lessons are based on posture, leading and following, and musicality as a source of creativity. He focuses on improvisation as key to develop a dance that is fun and enjoyable for the couple, while they can still comfortably circulate in a limited space.

This is your chance to immerse yourself in the city of Buenos Aires and its many different tango scenes in the company of a native who has been part of the tango community in BA for over 20 years. Andres grew up in the Villa Crespo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, dancing in some of the very clubs that we?ll attend on the tour (Villa Malcolm, Club Fulgor, and Club Sunderland, for example). Of course, Andres is renowned as a dancer of ?nuevo tango,? so in addition to attending traditional venues, tour participants will get to dance in the practicas and alternative milongas where cutting-edge innovations are still happening in tango on a daily basis. In addition, you?ll benefit from Meredith?s experience as a foreigner who moved to Buenos Aires, lived there for three years, and speaks the language fluently. The tour cost includes the following: --9-nights accommodation (double occupancy) in La Luna Llena, a stunning Bed & Breakfast in Palermo that features a large dance space and an amazing roof deck, in a quiet, yet very hip, neighborhood. --Entrance to the milongas and practicas that are part of the group?s itinerary (often two per night!); --12 hours of group classes (arranged specially for tour participants in the location where we?re staying) with outstanding traditional and nuevo tango teachers; --Intelligent, un-touristy tour of the city; --Special farewell dinner at our favorite restaurant in the world; --Accomplished Argentine dancers who will assist the group in milongas and group classes; --Excursions to shop for shoes, clothes and CDs (you pay for your purchases, of course); --Airport transfers in Argentina; --24-hour availability of Andres and Meredith for translation, recommendations, problem-solving, you-name-it (just give us a few hours to sleep each day, please). Airfares have plunged recently and you can currently buy a round-trip from NYC to Buenos Aires through Carbone travel (www.1800ARGENTINA.com) for $599 including all taxes. This fare is only available through February 27. More details on the tour are available at: http://andresamarilla.com/batour.htm. Or better yet, give me a call or shoot me an email and I'll address any questions you have. Thanks so much!

Tango Fantasia is the form of social dance exhibition. It was the highest form of tango dance before it went to the stage in a professional form. Still an amateur dance, fantasia was based on creativity in each couple, high dance skill and playfulness. Small, informal exhibitions of this style in milongas were commonplace in Buenos Aires in the 1960s, '70's '80s. Tango Fantasia was used later for stage tango routines. Traditional steps and figures will be explored in the course. This course is for couples Only! We accept couples only for this 12 weeks course but do have a list of available single dancers. We do not match up couples however. After this class you have the option to stay to our milonga/vals class, starting 8pm, with a special price of $30 for a pack of 5 lessons.

Junior still has one or two spots for private lessons on Sunday, March 8, contact Ilene ~ 845 246-1122 Antonio "Junior" Cervila is a highly respected, internationally known performer, choreographer, producer and instructor. He is recognized for his creative tango stylings, his intricate footwork, as well as his dance versatility, earning a well-deserved reputation as the ?Gene Kelly of Latin Dance?. Junior?s performances have been seen worldwide; most recently he produced and directed Latin Dance Carnival, a musical extravaganza using music and dance to dramatically depict the evolution of Latin culture. His most recent show is Celos, a dance adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello. Junior's company of dancers regularly performs to standing ovations in Japan, China and South America. Junior was featured in the iconic Carlos Saura film Tango, which won an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film in 1998. In addition to having a starring role in the film, he was principal choreographic assistant to tango legend Juan Carlos Copes. He is also well-known for starring in the famous Broadway production of Tango Argentino, as part of Julio Iglesias?s World Tour, and for starring in many outstanding productions including Tanguera and Tango Emocion; he was featured in the BBC documentary as partner to the London Royal Ballet's prima ballerina Deborah Bull, and has danced for the Rolling Stones! Junior is also the partner of choice for the great tanguera Maria Nieves, Juan Carlos Copes' long time collaborator. He regularly performs throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America and the United States, and lucky for us, loves Woodstock!! Although he is one of the most exquisite stage dancers in the world - Junior?s classes in Woodstock primarily focus on proper technique for social dancing; His workshops are excellent preparation for those interested to learn how to navigate smoothly on a crowded dance floor as well as for those who wish to be challenged by demanding figures. Embrace, connection and musicality are key. Visit: www.cervila.com Watch!!

And yet we leaders are plagued with women who not only are unable to maintain their own axis, but insist on draping themselves over us (in an attempt to send us to the chiropractor), while leaving a stain of deodorant on our jackets as they clutch our hand with their sweaty palms.
