Meredith --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEDNESDAY, JULY 8: MILONGA WITH OTROS AIRES LIVE On Wednesday, July 8, Otros Aires will present "?one of the most unique and compelling audiovisual live shows in contemporary global fusion" (according to smallworldmusic.com in Toronto) -- right here in Philadelphia! An ?archaeological-electronic project,? Otros Aires mines the annals of tango?s history to create a sound that is 90% tango and 10% electronic. Blending samples from some of the earliest tangos with contemporary lyrics and electronic beats, they create a modern day music that maintains the feeling and spirit of traditional tango. Visual images form the backdrop of the band?s concerts, creating a spectacle that is engaging and often humorous. The event in Philadelphia will be held at the Philadelphia Ethical Society and will be set up as a milonga, so there will be plenty of space for dancing. Seating will be available for non-dancing concert-goers. Discounted parking ($12) is available at the 1845 Walnut Street garage with entrances from both Walnut St. and Sansom St. Wednesday, July 8 7 pm: Beginner Lesson in Argentine Tango 8:00-11:30 pm: Milonga with Otros Aires LIVE The band's first set is at 8:30 pm.

At age thirteen, Daniela began training in ballet, modern dance, music, acting, jazz, argentinean folk dancing and gymnastics. She is a graduate of the Escuela Nacional de Danzas and Instituto Nacional de Gimnasia. She began to teach and choreograph tango at the age of twenty-five and developed the passion for the drama of the latin dances and cultures, recognizing that the Tango was her own artistic vocabulary. her style developed as a result of her training both in ballet and modern-contemporary dance, and the influence and instruction from some of the great "milongueros" (the tango masters) of Club Almagro and Villa Urquiza of Buenos Aires such as Rodolfo Dinzel, Eduardo Arquimbau, Antonio Todaro, and Pepito Avellaneda and years spent dancing and observing in the milongas of Buenos Aires. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQKVtiYSMNA Daniela & Omar Vega http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBKUnjhs_QU&feature=related IBM Ad From afternoonmilonga at gmail.com Thu Jul 2 10:23:45 2009 From: afternoonmilonga at gmail.com (afternoonmilonga@gmail.com) Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 14:23:45 +0000 Subject: [Tango-A] NA-E: July 3rd it's Maura's Birthday meow... at The AfTerNOON milONgA Fridays - NYC Message-ID: <26154.5168209238@afternoonmilonga> This Friday July 3rd, The AfTerNOON milONgA will be celebrating... mAurA's 40Th birThdAy!!! meow.... live music with juAn pAblO jOffre & mAuriziO NAjT 4:30pm to 8:30pm (sets starting at 5:30pm - Admission & Music $15.00) Then an after hours... birThdAy pOTpOurri MAMBO/MERENGUE/SOUL/DISCO 8:30pm to 10:00pm STOP IN FOR A NIBBLE OF CAKE, A SWING OF THE HIPS, AND BIRTHDAY KISSES...

Lastly, This year's festival was made possible with the great hardwork of Shafqat Manzur, Maria Alferov and die hard volunteers.

I have invited Helaine Treitman to give her special seminar. On Thurs night before the milonga, your are invited to "Dinner with Helaine." Cost is $10 for the dinner with a free introduction to Friday's seminar. Cost of the Friday seminar is explained below. --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Helaine Treitman Subject: "The Tangueros' 14 Deadly Errors" special seminar for men at Meet in the Middle Dear Tanguero, If your tango is not yet where you want it to be, and you're feeling frustrated with your level of enjoyment at milongas, knowing that there are guys who seem to have mastered some secrets no one's told you yet, it's probably NOT YOUR FAULT! You just need to discover some essential keys that will unlock the door to your masculine BEST on the dance floor, and put you on the path to becoming the tanguero you want to be! Yes, YOU TOO can have women eagerly waiting to dance with you - when you correct a few common errors and replace some bad habits with good ones! I guarantee it*!... If you take my advice and follow the clear and simple recommendations that I'll lay out for you at the 2009 Meet in the Middle Festival in Mt. Vernon, MO in my . . . Tango Seminar for Men: THE TANGUEROS' 14 DEADLY ERRORS How to identify yours and correct them in just 4-6 months and have women "lining up" to dance with you at every milonga! But who am I to tell you? Perhaps you have never met me nor heard of me! I recently arrived in S. Florida from Italy, where I'm known as "the woman who brought tango to Umbria". I've been dancing tango for 15 years (in Europe, the US, and Buenos Aires), and teaching full-time for almost 10 years. There was no tango at all in the region of Umbria when I started, and I built a big, happy tango community there by teaching hundreds of men and women to dance. (To find out more about me, please see the links below in the P.P.P.S.) I know what delights women on the dance floor, and what doesn't. Through teaching more than 700 people to dance tango, and dancing thousands of tandas myself over the last 15 years, I have identified all the annoying habits that most men aren't aware of that make a woman's endorphins (our feel-good neurotransmitters) pull the covers over their heads and go back to sleep! I can show you how to replace each of your bad habits with a good one, in a clear, easy-to-understand way. Then it's up to you to reinforce each good habit that you choose to adopt, by practicing it consciously when you go to dance. If you follow my program, you can transform your tango in just 4-6 months! The TANGUEROS' 14 DEADLY ERRORS will be revealed at my seminar and clinic for men, on Thursday evening and Friday morning, September 17 and 18, 2009, at the Meet in the Middle Tango Festival, in Mt. Vernon, Missouri, where I will help you identify and begin correcting your errors NOW so that starting that Friday evening at the Meet in the Middle Milonga (and much more so over the next few months), you will notice a significant change in your own dancing and in the tangueras' pleasure in dancing with you. You'll see dramatic results in 4-6 months, guaranteed*! (*IF* you follow the program that I will outline for you at the Friday morning seminar!) You'll find a complete description at http://tiny.cc/14deadlyerrorsMO. *See my money-back, 100% satisfaction guarantee in the yellow box at the bottom of this web page. Here are the dates and times: Thursday, September 17, 2009 7:00-8:30 PM Dinner with Helaine and after-dinner Introductory "14 Deadly Errors" Overview 8:30-9:00 PM Last-minute registration for Friday Morning Seminar (Seating is limited. After we've filled the available seats, there will be standing room only. Sorry, no additional discounts.) 9:00 PM Welcome MIlonga in Murray's Ballroom (see "Clinical Check-up" Option below, and consider pre-booking half a tanda with Helaine!) Friday, September 18, 2009 10AM-Noon Tango Seminar for Men: "THE TANGUEROS' 14 DEADLY ERRORS How to identify yours and correct them in just 4-6 months and have women "lining up" to dance with you at every milonga!" Friday Seminar price $30 (Thursday or Friday at the door), or with pre-registration by September 1 - $25 Women $15 at the door, or with pre-registration $12. Bonus 1: During the seminar I will give you 3 essential exercises that you can practice at home that will start improving your tango immediately, and the more you practice them, the more your tango will improve. (Useful for women too!) Bonus 2: All paid seminar participants will be entitled to a 15-minute follow-up telephone coaching session with Helaine, by appointment till end October 2009! Value $35 - yours f.r.e.e. for attending the Friday Seminar! * * * * * * * * "Clinical Check-up" Option: Reserve 2 tangos with me at the Thursday evening milonga, and by Saturday you can pick up your "14 Deadly Errors Clinical Check-up and Personalized Evaluation Chart" to take home as your personal study plan. I normally charge my private students $75 for this individualized evaluation! Special HALF-PRICE offer to my Meet in the Middle attendees: $37.50 without the Seminar. (I think I need a "clinical checkup" to have my head examined!) Friday Morning "14 Deadly Errors" Seminar ($30) PLUS Clinical Check-up and Personalized Evaluation Chart ($37.50) = would be $67.50. Your special price for BOTH seminar and "Clinical Check-up" and Personalized Evaluation Chart: $49 - With pre-registration by September 1 - ONLY $39! Why on earth am I giving away this $140 value (seminar PLUS coaching PLUS clinical evaluation and take-home chart) for as little as $39? 1) Because out of my empathy and affection for the tangueras of the world, I have established a private mission to bring strong, competent tango masculinity on the dance floor to our culture, and 2) since I'm new to the North American tango community, I want you to get to know me as an instructor and coach, so that in the future you'll want to take advantage of my other special programs, or even come down to beautiful Naples, Florida to work individually or in group programs with me! For all the details of my program at Meet in the Middle 2009, please visit http://tiny.cc/14deadlyerrorsMO, and let's get you on your way to quickly becoming the tanguero you were meant to be! Un grande abrazo, Helaine P.S. Don't forget that if you pre-register and send Karen your payment by September 1, you can reap the benefits of the Friday "Tangueros' 14 Deadly Errors" Seminar, bonus exercises, bonus follow-up coaching call, AND the "Clinical Check-up" and Personalized Evaluation Chart to take home as your study guide, all for the ridiculously low price of $39. P.P.S. Due to time constraints, I cannot conduct more than 27 of these special personalized evaluations. So act fast! If you don't pre-register by September 1, and even wait till Thursday or Friday at Murrays to reserve your place, besides paying $10 more, you risk getting locked out! P.P.P.S.

At age thirteen, Daniela began training in ballet, modern dance, music, acting, jazz, argentinean folk dancing and gymnastics. She is a graduate of the Escuela Nacional de Danzas and Instituto Nacional de Gimnasia. She began to teach and choreograph tango at the age of twenty-five and developed the passion for the drama of the latin dances and cultures, recognizing that the Tango was her own artistic vocabulary. Her style developed as a result of her training both in ballet and modern-contemporary dance, and the influence and instruction from some of the great "milongueros" (the tango masters) of Club Almagro and Villa Urquiza of Buenos Aires such as Rodolfo Dinzel, Eduardo Arquimbau, Antonio Todaro, and Pepito Avellaneda and years spent dancing and observing in the milongas of Buenos Aires. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQKVtiYSMNA Daniela & Omar Vega http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBKUnjhs_QU&feature=related IBM Ad From mbruscht at gmail.com Fri Jul 10 17:58:22 2009 From: mbruscht at gmail.com (Marco Bruschtein) Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:58:22 -0400 Subject: [Tango-A] [TANGO A] NA-E: Community Milonga of Ann Arbor Michigan - Milonga Al Aire Liber - Noche Estrellada - 07/11/2009 - DJ Avik Basu Message-ID: <1bb092e50907101458h48a78d97n13ada085edbd49f5@mail.gmail.com> Hello fellow Tangueros, The 2009 Summer Series is here with our first milonga in the series.

For me, as an instructor, this tour is a reminder that my students should be able to dance in such places, among those dancers. Of course, it takes a lot of time, practice, and dedication measured in years. Still, at any stage of the student's learning process, witnessing this facet of Argentine Tango would be an essential part of knowing what tango really is about. The trip includes: - Airfare from San Francisco (one stop from S.F). - Hotel in the best location of Buenos Aires (double occupancy) at Hotel Lyon www.hotel-lyon.com.ar - 24 hours assistance (we know the city and we speak the language!). - City Tours (you'll get to know all the characteristic places: Obelisco ? Downtown - Plaza de Mayo - Cafe Tortoni - San Telmo - Recoleta and much more). - Shopping tours to places where locals go looking for quality and price. - A Day in the Countryside. - 4 Tango Classes with the best local teachers. - Milongas almost every evening or afternoon. - Transportation to all the mentioned activities. - A DVD with memories of the trip. Cost: $2,290.00. - Until July 31st 2009. To sign in and get this early bird price I just need a $400.00.- advance (non-refundable). Why coming to Buenos Aires with me ? I am a certified travel agent, tango instructor and native. I have 15 years working on tango tours and 6 years organizing my own trips. I work with a team of most capable an reliable people. I know the culture. I speak the language. My customers are thrilled and many of them keep coming back every year. I have a great time enjoying it!!! In addition to Buenos Aires, I can also make arrangements for you to visit any other destinations in Argentina (Mendoza, Salta, Jujuy, Bariloche, Iguazu Falls, etc.) Planning a trip to Buenos Aires? Contact me...I can help you! I am always trying to offer the best efficiency and quality in all what I do. I offer a Tango Tour to Buenos Aires every year and I take many people with me, but some people can not join me because the time for their vacation is different or many other reasons, so they travel to Buenos Aires by themselves. Since I am from Argentina and I have people over there who work with me, I can offer help to all those people who plan a trip to Buenos Aires. I can arrange a convenient package including flight tickets, hotel, and excursions, or if you just need someone over there to help you out I can put you in contact with the right person, also if you want to know about best teachers in Buenos Aires, taxi dancers, or milongas, please contact me. Come to experience Buenos Aires Argentine Tango scene from a inside point of view, feeling yourself at home, meeting local people and living 10 wonderful days immerse into the "Porte?o" life style.

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. More information about the teachers at www.joseba-bakartxo.com Level: Intermediate Languages of instruction: English, Spanish ******************** Tango at Villa La Rogaia .

The tango that Maxi transmits is based upon communication between dancers in a continuously close embrace, musical interpretation & respectful navigation on the dance floor. Consequently, his lessons are based on posture, leading & following, & musicality as a source of creativity. He focuses on improvisation as key to develop a dance that is fun & enjoyable for the couple, while still comfortably circulating in a limited space. Maxi studied with the most renowned Argentine teachers in this style: Susana Miller, Ana Maria Schapira, Pedro 'Tete' Rusconi, Pocho y Neli, Ricardo Vidort & Jorge Kero. He travels regularly to Europe & the USA to teach & perform.

At the same time, we will see which milonga movements can be used in tango, and in which occasions. 9:00pm ? 12:00am Milonga at TBA Sunday, September 13, 2009 Workshop at Fred Astaire Dance Studio, 6645 Poplar Ave. (Carrefour Mall) Suite #206, Memphis, TN 1:00 ? 2:30pm Giros, communication & balance (all levels) $25 In this lesson we will not only add some giros to our repertoire but also improve the communication and balance through the tango embrace. 3:00 ? 4:30pm Milonga with Traspie (all levels) $25 We will continue our rhythmical work with further training on this beat.

Our third annual Colorado TangoEncuentro(tm) Festival features a 20-hour couples-only advanced seminar, held from Monday September 7 through Saturday September 12, and finishing with a grand milonga (and GyG performance!) on Saturday in the massively magnificent Avalon Ballroom. The incredibly positive reviews from the "Part 1" May 2009 20-hour Seminario in Boulder are still singing in our ears, and we thank all of you who participated for your glowing words of appreciation! Besides the incredible instruction, ample practice time, and superb facilities, you'll have other tango opportunities in the Denver/Boulder area every night - the annual Denver Labor Day Milonguero Festival starts the previous week, so if you're really dedicated you could dance and study every day for almost two straight weeks! Our TangoEncuentro(tm) Festival seminar experience has built up a loyal following among those discerning tango fans who appreciate the chance to work closely with these peerless maestros in the palatial setting of one of the finest dance floors in the country, designed and built by social dancers expressly for social dancing! IF you've had enough of overcrowded advanced seminars where: - the space for practicing what you're learning is so crowded that you often don't have enough room to even execute the material, much less refine it, or - you can't even SEE the maestros through the crowd of other dancers vainly competing for their attention, THEN join us and discover just how big a difference it makes to have a REAL "limited-enrollment" policy! Gustavo and Giselle have told us how much more effective it is to deliver the seminar experience when they have time to interact directly with everyone in attendance. We pride ourselves on constructing tango training opportunities where the students can count on getting the most for their tango dollar. If you compare what we offer with others, we think you'll agree! LEARN FROM THOSE WHO KNOW Many of you receiving this message need no introduction to Gustavo and Giselle (www.gustavoygiselle.com). But even for those who are familiar with their work (or perhaps especially for those), we're very excited to share with you this world premiere seminar on the subject of "Tango Milonguero". Many people talk a good game about "tango milonguero", but very very few alive today were actually "there at the time". Gustavo's long history of sharing the floor every night with the now-departed masters of the Buenos Aires milonga world, starting in the early 1980's and continuing for fifteen years, gives this seminar special significance. The grace, power and beauty of Gustavo and Giselle's interpretation of the classical tango repertoire is especially enhanced by this long exposure to the authentic tango experience of the Buenos Aires milongas. In addition, Gustavo brings to this seminar his seven years of experience as a tango DJ in Buenos Aires, as well as his encyclopedic knowledge of tango dance history and development. SCHEDULE Mon Sept 7 11am-1pm; 2pm-4pm; Welcome milonga in the evening Tue Sept 8 11am-1pm; 2pm-4pm Wed Sept 9 11am-1pm (half-day) Thu Sept 10 11am-1pm; 2pm-4pm Fri Sept 11 11am-1pm; 2pm-4pm Sat Sept 12 11am-1pm (half-day); Gran Milonga in the evening For more information on this unique opportunity, please check the "TangoEncuentro(tm)" link at our website at http://www.danceoftheheart.com.

(F) (L) More on Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt: World-renowned tango dancers and teachers Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt are currently based in San Francisco where they have their studio "TangoVida". 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 From laturca.yesim at gmail.com Tue Jul 28 13:23:31 2009 From: laturca.yesim at gmail.com (Yesim La Turca) Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:23:31 -0400 Subject: [Tango-A] NA-E: NYC Corazon Milonga Wednesday July 29!

We want to clarify rumors that have been the source of confusion for our current and future participants about the future of Chicago Tango Week. Burak Ozkosem is no longer our partner and therefore has no involvement with Chicago Tango Week in any way whatsoever. It is unfortunate that we have to publicly announce this news but we have no choice but to make it clear to all who the organizers are and that future of the festival is safe and secure. No financial investment or work was put in by him during the past year to organize CTW. In addition, we recently discovered that he has embezzled funds from the business account and we have bank statements as evidence. Consider this a public service announcement: anyone doing business with him from hereon will do so at his or her own risk of being defrauded. Unfortunately, he is repeating his actions involving financial issues. http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/tango-a/2007-March/001714.html http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/tango-a/2007-March/001725.html We have worked hard for two years to elevate this festival to a premiere event in North America and will protect both the brand and our reputation and work in the interest of all those who have supported us and will do so in the future. As we travel across the US and Canada promoting our festival, we want everyone to know how much we value those who support us and strive to give them the best. Our website is http://www.ChicagoTangoWeek.org and our email address is info @ ChicagoTangoWeek.org. Our Facebook group page is http://www.facebook..com/group..php?gid=21188481464 Making this statement has been difficult and we have done it as a last resort. We regret having to share this information publicly but after much thought and discussion, we have no choice but to make this announcement, put this matter behind us and move on with next year's festival. Stay tuned for an announcement of Chicago Tango Week 2010 soon. We promise an exciting festival.

As many of you know, I'm the creator of this festival, and I will continue to produce this event. Maria Alferov joined me in 2007 and Shafqat Manzur joined me in mid-2008. Unfortunately they tried to take over my festival starting in May 2009, therefore they are not affiliated with Chicago Tango Week anymore.

Workshop gender ratios are very close to 50/50. This is another "Tango Festival For Dancers, By Dancers", which means everything is designed with the social dancers in mind.

I am just beginning to pour through its 450 pages and so far I think it is a terrific read ?juicy (enough to make me overlook typos) complex, with really nice clear type, easy to read, illustrations beautifully printed-- much to learn here, some stuff to argue (what else in tango?). Everyone will want to read this. It is available through Amazon. The following I review is by Clay Nelson a prominent West Coast organizer/dancer: ?I'd like to call your attention to a new book by Virginia?Gift called "Tango, A History of Obsession".? This book (over 400 pages) is the most complete and detailed account of tango's history that I've ever read.??Virginia discusses tango from all aspects: musical, political, historical, philosophical,?but with an emphasis on the dance--as she is a tanguera herself.? You'll find it well researched with many quotes?and references from historical documents?as well as?from current dancers from all over the world (for sure you will know and recognize many of them.)? ? Announcement #3: Re: Esmeralda?s al Norte?on Friday nights in Westchester?starting Aug 21in Port Chester Well, we are north of Manhattan. Tell friends from up north! I will send more details soon.
