Dear Tangueras,

Greetings!

We are proud to present a Women's Tango technique weekend with
renowned dancer and teacher, Rachel Greenberg on the weekend of March
6-8, 2009. As you may remember, Rachel visited us with Pablo Veron for
workshops last summer. We are excited to have her in Chicago again.

Rachel will conduct intensive Tango Technique workshops for
intermediate and advanced level followers in a progressive manner. We
will accept registrations in advance, as there is limited space.
Workshops are open to anyone who wants to learn how to follow.

All activities will be held at the ARTango Center. Here are details of
the weekend activities:

Location: ARTango Center
4011 N Ravenswood Ave, Suite 103
Chicago, IL 60613

Workshop description:

The objective of this course is to improve the follower's technique,
providing tools and information which are specific to each follower.
Rachel will examine and explain how you can feel comfortable and be
confident with your dance. She will help the students achieve
presence, elegance and sensuality; improve their sensitivity and be
more responsive to a lead. During the course we will work on
techniques of the dance from the point of view of a follower. The
three workshops are built progressively; therefore it is advised that
participants register for the entire set. This course is suitable for
all levels of dancers.
