About the teachers: Dance like a feather ... Tango Nuevo Elegante 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.

About Alicia Pons: Alicia Pons is an elegant and accomplished dancer with refined technique and distinctive personality. Her ability to imbue the role of the woman with verve and style has made her one of the most sought after female partners in Buenos Aires milongas. She is most noted for her foot play and sensual seduction, which are done with humor and decorum. As a teacher, Alicia emphasizes the partners' connection, and in particular the woman's ability to not just follow, but to be an equal protagonist in the dance.

Hi Friends, This is my 6th year and want to welcome you back and invite new friends for sure. This year promises to be even better than ever. Charles Roques has moved to Mt Vernon from New York City and is a great asset to our teaching staff and our local tango community. Gustavo Benzecry and Maria Olivara accepted my call for Argentine Dancers and I am thrilled. I knew if they were so well received in Portland and if Ray has signed them for the Chicago Mini Festival, then I couldn't go wrong. Also this year I have invited James and Mariallan from Memphis to teach a beginner track. I have known them for many years and they are very good social dancers. The price is good: $150 all inclusive, classes, milongas, practicas, 5 meals, snacks, and yes, the Ice Cream truck. Located on the historical Courthouse Square, our venue is steps away from the "Not So Square Art Festival" going on Saturday. We have scheduled times to perform in the park for the art festival crowd. Fly into Springfield MO SGF and we'll pick you up. Save a lot and fly into a neighboring hub and catch a ride with people coming from Tulsa, Kansas City, Fayetteville or St Louis. Motels are inexpensive $50-60. I'll have a good tango rate for you. Gender balance is goal. Space is limited to 120 very close dancers. Gaia Banovich will be here with shoes galore. So bring shoe money and art money.

Western Ave., Chicago, IL 60618 KARA WENHAM Recognized as an excellent dancer and teacher in Buenos Aires and abroad, Kara's dancing and classes are founded on a modern tango salon that incorporates the techniques and dynamics of a contemporary tango whilst maintaining a strong connection to the roots of the dance. Kara has developed a pedagogy that is designed to empower students by giving them tools that focus on a solid technique, a clear idea of the structure of the dance, connection, lead and follow, musicality, improvisation, and the development of a personal style. Whether the embrace is open or closed, Kara's emphasis is on how to maintain a connection that is sensitive, communicative and sensual between both leader and follower. She currently lives in Buenos Aires, teaching well-attended classes at Tango Brujo. She also gives workshops and participates in festivals throughout Argentina, Asia, Europe, and the United States. She participated last year in TangoMagia's 10th Anniversary Festival in Amsterdam and has also participated in festivals in Istanbul, Zurich and Siracusa in 2008. NINA TATAROWICZ Nina has spent the past 8 years performing and teaching tango in Buenos Aires and around the world. An accomplished leader and follower, Nina translates the intrigue of tango into a language that is accessible to all. Emphasizing an intimate embrace and relaxed, organic body movement, she provides her students with a solid foundation in technique and dance structure. She encourages their creativity and the expression of their own unique personality in the dance. Nina returns often to Buenos Aires with opportunities to teach and perform, and currently is based in the Chicago area as a teacher, dancer, choreographer and event organizer. On stage, her projects include dancing in the production ?Tango: Love and Sex? in Buenos Aires' Teatro Avenida in 2004 with choreography by Doris Pettroni, creating her own choreographic works in the US between 2005 - 2008, dancing the lead role in the show ?Tango is My Shadow? in Chicago with choreography by Melina Brufman and Claudio Gonzalez, and dancing the role of Persephone in the tango-theater piece "Eurydice Ascending" in the Cambalache V Festival 2008 in Buenos Aires. In addition to her persistent exploration into the evolution of tango as a social dance form, Nina's latest endeavors involve testing the boundaries of tango language, harnessing its potential to touch audiences from a theatrical point of departure. -- ( * Nina Tatarowicz www.tangoelixir.com Chicago/Milwaukee: 312-730-8873 From tigerstango at gmail.com Tue Mar 10 05:12:02 2009 From: tigerstango at gmail.com (Lexa Rosean) Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 05:12:02 -0400 Subject: [Tango-A] NA-E: Purim @ Cielo Milonga Message-ID: <287446cf0903100212i3ed6590rba4bc874ce04bee7@mail.gmail.com> March 10 PURIM MILONGA Heavenly Bamboo Pavilion 10 East 39th Street (Madison & Fifth Ave) 8:30 beg tango lesson 9:30pm - 1:30am milonga Host & DJ Lexa $14 includes lesson, milonga, sushi & chinese buffet for those of you who don't know - Purim is like the Jewish Mardi Gras (or Halloween).

Tango First Century highlights Paris in the roaring twenties, the unforgettable Carlos Gardel, the golden age of tango in the 1940s, and the contemporary tango of Astor Piazzolla.

The Central Europe has a different taste to it. If you have ever been to Prague, Vienna, Ljubljana or any other historical city of this region, you will know what I mean. Our history, our culture, our foods, our thinking, and our way of life are all so typical of Central Eastern Europe. I do believe that our Argentine tango is also typical and has a special taste to it. Come and discover it in Budapest! You will find superb teachers, orchestras and DJs - all from this region - fantastic venues, and last but not least a very friendly tango community. Please check our homepage for details: http://www.budapesttango.com/ Hope to see you in Budapest!

We are excited and honored to welcome them to the Denver/Boulder area in their first Colorado appearance! Save the dates of April 1st through 6th on your tango calendar for a truly exciting opportunity to delve into the mysteries of Argentine Tango with those who have lived it all their young lives! You can check our website at www.danceoftheheart.com for full information and all updates to the schedule below - and we should mention right now that the April 5th SUNDAY AVALON MILONGA will be extra special - because for the first time ANYWHERE, we will have both Federico and In?s performing, AND Federico's father GUSTAVO will be our DJ!! Federico Naveira ================ Raised by some of Argentina?s best dancers and teachers, with the Buenos Aires tango resurgence swirling around him every day almost from the time he could walk, Federico Naveira is today one of the leading lights among the new generation of Tango dancers. He began dancing tango when he was only 4 years and studied multiple artistic forms such as classical and contemporary dance, theater, and music.? This training gave him a deep understanding and a thorough mastery of dance. At the age of ten, he and his sister began assisting his mother, Olga Besio, with her ?Tango con Ninos? (Tango for Children) classes. When he was 13 he became part of a group of teachers and, since then, has not stopped working professionally as an instructor of dance and Argentine Tango. He has taught with his sister Ariadne Naveira at the Amsterdam Tangomagia festival, the International Congress of Argentine Tango (CITA), Pulpo?s Tango Week, and at the Festival International de Tango Ciudad de La Plata. He has participated in several festivals organized by the City of Buenos Aires.? In addition he has worked in the school "Tango Brujo", and has joined a host of exhibitions in several theaters and almost all the major milongas in Buenos Aires. In 2007, Federico worked with Carolina Del Rivero, Mariela Sametband, and Milena Plebs.? In 2008, he co-founded and directed Estudio Postango, a group of young tango dancers. In?s Muzzopappa =============== In?s began dancing tango at age of fourteen at the legendary Club Sunderland in Villa Urquiza, home of some of the finest Golden Age tango dancers. In addition to tango, In?s has studied classical dance, song and music, elements that have given her a thorough artistic grounding and allowed her to develop a deep understanding of tango. In 2007 she won the Fifth World Championship of Argentine Tango in the category of Salon Tango, dancing with Dante Sanchez. This allowed her to begin teaching and performing in different national and international festivals such as Comodoro Rivadavia Tango Festival, Pulpo?s Tango Week and several festivals organized by the City of Buenes Aires. She has taught in some of the most recognized Tango schools in Argentina (Studio La Esquina, Esquela Carlos Copello, Escuela Argentina de Tango). >From the beginning, In?s has performed in almost all the milongas in Buenos Aires; dancing with Alejandro Hermida, Bruno, Tombari, and Flaco Danny. In 2008, she became part of a group of young tango dancers, Estudio Postango, which she co-founded and directed. These experiences helped distinguish her as a teacher of tango and were important to the development of her dancing and her professional growth. Currently, In?s and Federico are touring the world, performing shows and teaching at festivals and seminars in Argentina, South America, Europe, Asia, and the United States, where they are recognized as future leaders of the worldwide Tango renaissance.

Western Ave., Chicago, IL 60618 KARA WENHAM Recognized as an excellent dancer and teacher in Buenos Aires and abroad, Kara's dancing and classes are founded on a modern tango salon that incorporates the techniques and dynamics of a contemporary tango whilst maintaining a strong connection to the roots of the dance. Kara has developed a pedagogy that is designed to empower students by giving them tools that focus on a solid technique, a clear idea of the structure of the dance, connection, lead and follow, musicality, improvisation, and the development of a personal style. Whether the embrace is open or closed, Kara's emphasis is on how to maintain a connection that is sensitive, communicative and sensual between both leader and follower. She currently lives in Buenos Aires, teaching well-attended classes at Tango Brujo. She also gives workshops and participates in festivals throughout Argentina, Asia, Europe, and the United States. She participated last year in TangoMagia's 10th Anniversary Festival in Amsterdam and has also participated in festivals in Istanbul, Zurich and Siracusa in 2008. NINA TATAROWICZ Nina has spent the past 8 years performing and teaching tango in Buenos Aires and around the world. An accomplished leader and follower, Nina translates the intrigue of tango into a language that is accessible to all. Emphasizing an intimate embrace and relaxed, organic body movement, she provides her students with a solid foundation in technique and dance structure. She encourages their creativity and the expression of their own unique personality in the dance. Nina returns often to Buenos Aires with opportunities to teach and perform, and currently is based in the Chicago area as a teacher, dancer, choreographer and event organizer. On stage, her projects include dancing in the production ?Tango: Love and Sex? in Buenos Aires' Teatro Avenida in 2004 with choreography by Doris Pettroni, creating her own choreographic works in the US between 2005 - 2008, dancing the lead role in the show ?Tango is My Shadow? in Chicago with choreography by Melina Brufman and Claudio Gonzalez, and dancing the role of Persephone in the tango-theater piece "Eurydice Ascending" in the Cambalache V Festival 2008 in Buenos Aires. In addition to her persistent exploration into the evolution of tango as a social dance form, Nina's latest endeavors involve testing the boundaries of tango language, harnessing its potential to touch audiences from a theatrical point of departure. -- ( * Nina Tatarowicz www.tangoelixir.com Chicago/Milwaukee: 312-730-8873 From tigerstango at gmail.com Mon Mar 16 02:37:13 2009 From: tigerstango at gmail.com (Lexa Rosean) Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 02:37:13 -0400 Subject: [Tango-A] NA:E - CIELO Where Tango Eyes are Smiling...

From the prestigious Salon Canning in Buenos Aires where he regularly teaches, to destinations in Europe and America, Gustavo is recognized for his creativity, elegance, and capacity to make almost any movement work in close embrace. He has studied with such greats as Marta Anton, Omar Vega, Dany "El Flaco" Garcia, Stella Barba, Gustavo Naveira and Eduardo Capussi, among others. The remarkably talented Maria relinquished other forms of dance for tango when she became Gustavo's student. She later studied with many of the tango legends, and in 2004 became Gustavo's teaching and performing partner. Noted for her fast and creative feet, Maria decorates her dance in a very personal way, which is both playful and elegant. With a journalism background, Gustavo has written several books, and has produced a documentary, "The History of Tango Dance 1940-1960. The Golden Age" to be shown for the first time in America in 2009.

For people who always wanted to know how to do "sentadas" and "montadas". Every Thursday from 6:30 to 8:00 PM we will work on fun, playful and creative tango figures representing the true tango fantasia of the 1960s and 1970s in Buenos Aires. What is Tango Fantasia? 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. Thursdays 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM Tango Fantasia 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM Milonga/Vals class Chelsea Studios 151 W. 26th St 5th & 6th fl (btwn 6th and 7th Aves) Price: Fantasia $100 per 4 classes pack per person.

They have been performing in the most famous tango salons of Buenos Aires. Regular teachers at the prestigious Sal?n Canning, they also work for the renowned "Escuela de Tango Beba Bidart" and for the "Centro Cultural Torquato Tasso". Their invigorating musicality while maintaining clear lines and superb technique made them equally sought after performers and teachers abroad, and they have been touring several times Europe, Canada and the US. Their workshops in Boston last year were completely sold out, and the feed back that we obtained from the participants was extremely favourable. As a dancer, Gustavo stands out for his creativity, his elegance and his capacity of doing any movement in close embrace. The hallmark of Maria's dancing are her fast and creative feet, which she uses to decorate her dance in a personal, both playful and elegant way. Maria holds Bachelor of Political Science of the Universidad de Buenos Aires. Gustavo obtained Bachelor of Journalism from the Escuela Argentina de Periodismo, Buenos Aires. Journalist and the graphic designer of the tango magazine ?Diostango? Gustavo also authored the book ?La Pista Del Abrazo ? T?cnicas y Met?foras entre el Tango y la Vida?, translated by Maria into its english version ?Embracing Tango?. This unique book about Tango de Salon deals with all the concepts related to this style, as well as with the codes of behoviour at milongas, working out strategies and suggestions pertaining to dance invitation and acceptance. Furthermore, Gustavo is the author of "TangoDanza Glossary - Key to Tango Argentino dance terms", which describes more than 300 terms related to tango, with the prologue by Juan Carlos Copes and Carlos Gavito, and epilogue by Miguel Angel Zotto. For his work as a dancer, teacher and writer Gustavo has been awarded ?S?bados milongueros? and ?Pa?que bailen los muchachos?, an honor degree recognized by several government agencies. 2) 'VIDA MIA', FRIDAY, APRIL 24 8pm - 9pm - Special pre-milonga all-level-class with Maria and Gustavo 9pm - 12am - Milonga with performance by Maria and Guatavo, DJ Simonida Prices for that Friday evening only: Class $12, Milonga $12, both $18; Students $3 off 3) SCHEDULE AND PRICES FOR THE WEEKEND WORKSHOPS (April 25 and 26) Saturday Workshops ------------------------------ 12noon - 1:30pm / Followers' technique: Adornments 1:30 - 3pm / Tango Sal?n: A luxurious way of walking 3 - 4:30pm / Tango Sal?n: Colgadas in close embrace 4:30 - 6pm / Vals Surviving more than two turns Sunday Workshops ----------------------------- 12noon - 1:30pm / Leaders' technique: Body isolation, language and creativity 1:30 - 3pm / A Little fantas?a: Voleos and ganchos - when and where to use them 3 - 4:30pm / Milonga traspi?

TANGO FESTIVAL: "BY DANCERS; FOR DANCERS" - Come join the friendly Denver Tango Dancers and all your friends from past festivals. - We expect attendance to be in the 300 - 400 range. - Preliminary Class and Milonga schedule is now out. - Register at http://tango.org/2009memfest 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. Workshop gender ratios are very close to 50/50. Please see the class schedule for a list of all the classes and teachers. The schedule is still preliminary, meaning that specific classes and teachers may shift around. (Don't print it until the last week). DANIEL TRENNER and the TANGO REVIVAL OF THE 1990s Daniel Trenner, the featured, early-arrival teacher for Memorial Day 2009, has often been called the "Pied Piper of Tango" in the United States, because he was so foundational to the development of argentine tango across the country. Daniel made extensive national tours starting in the mid-1990s, with the result that tango exploded beyond a small base in a few large cities, (LA, NY and San Francisco). He was probably the single most effective community builder for tango in the US if you look at how many cities, dancers, teachers, organizers and communities he touched and inspired. Daniel launched the careers of numerous tango teachers and organizers, both US and Argentine. His Tango Seminars in Buenos Aires introduced foreigners to an older generation of tango dancers, and awakened them to an awareness of "how they dance tango" in the milongas of Buenos Aires. His video series documented the ideas and styles of numerous famous dancers from Buenos Aires, many of whom he also brought to the US for festivals or tours. Daniel was no stranger to controversy, offering several challenges to the traditional concept of tango: - He famously criticized the teaching methodology of the 8 count basic, suggesting that improvisational methods would be more effective. - He challenged the emphasis on learning tango using show tango sequences, by teaching tango as an improvised social dance. - He introduced the concept of swapping roles for leader and follower, both as a learning technique, and within the dance itself. - He challenged traditional styles of tango by bringing in concepts from West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop and Salsa. DANIEL's CLASSES Daniel will present several seminars on tango history: discussing music for social dancers, the history of tango, and the history of the tango revival. If you never met Daniel when he was touring, I suggest that "Daniel's Beginning Tango From Zero" will offer you a most interesting experience of what makes him such a great teacher. Daniel will also present a Teaching Symposium: "Facing the challenge of teaching the Non-Argentines to Tango".

Expect two or three lanes and Buenos Aires style floorcraft. DJs will play tandas with curtinas.

A few spaces left at this price! Message-ID: <02d401c9add0$f2c6d6d0$d8548470$@com> Dear Tango Aficionados, We're happy to report that the Buenos Aires TangoIntensivoT Sessions with Luciana Valle still have a couple spaces left! Due to a recent cancellation, we now have two spaces available in the (formerly sold-out) TangoIntensivoT "A" Session (May 25-30), and we still have seven spaces left in "B" (June 1-6). The Advance Registration price of US$655 is still good until midnight, April 1st, 2009, when it will increase to US$725. UNIQUELY STRUCTURED TANGO EXPERIENCE What makes our program so different form all other programs is our combination of an incredible teacher, LUCIANA VALLE, with an incredible staff, our TangoIntensivoT assistants! Forget worrying about whether your level is the same as your fellow students - our trained staff assistants are YOUR ONLY PARTNERS during this highly focused and intense training opportunity. A TRACK RECORD THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF The fact that we have an incredible amount of repeat business year after year tells us that we're successfully delivering a high-quality experience that, even in these difficult economic times, largely sells itself by word-of-mouth. Here's just some of the feedback we've gotten over the years: ====== "These sessions are an incredible experience of deep systematic structural exploration in tango, combined with the opportunity to work closely in partnership with an absolutely fantastic group of followers...rotating among them, experiencing their patience and welcoming smiles, really made the difficult parts much easier." "Dancing with the guys in class, the musicality...is just so incredible feeling what this dance can be...working intensively with Luciana, getting the clarity & depth of understanding & passion that she brings to it." "Knowing as I came in each day that I was going to push my limits with such a beautiful group of followers to help me get there - so many treasured memories of so many wonderful dances." "...my embrace is more secure, masculine & dynamic." "Other than of course Luciana & dancing with the guys, I would say (the best part of this experience for me was) feeling my body waking up again....it has been a while since I have felt that total satisfaction of dancing. I want more!" ====== Now in our fifth year, with over sixteen week-long programs completed so far, we look forward to an opportunity to share with you our vision of the perfect tango training experience! ONE WEEK (OR TWO WEEKS!) OF FUN, FOCUSED TANGO TRAINING The "A" Session (May 25-30) and the "B" Session (June 1-6) each cover 25 hours of instruction and guided practicas spread across six days, with four full five-hour days and two half days. Each session covers different tango material, but stands alone as an instructional program. For greatest benefit, take both programs, and really make your plane ticket worth it! Our peerless staff assistants will work with you at your level, supporting your learning at your maximum rate for the entire class. We've worked hard to create with Luciana the kind of program we ourselves would want to repeat over and over. We think you'll agree with our previous customers, some of them back this spring for the sixth time, that if you're going to Buenos Aires for tango training, this is the ideal focus for your tango time and money! WHAT'S INCLUDED The tuition is US$655 until midnight April 1st, after which it increases to US$725. You can pay online with a credit card through PayPal at slightly higher cost, or save the PayPal fees by mailing in your check. Details on the payment options and mailing addresses are on our website. Your tuition includes all lessons & guided practicas under Luciana's direction, and your participation in our TangoIntensivoT Staff Partner program. Your accommodations, meals and airfare are your own responsibility. However, in the last ten years, we've taken seventeen trips to Buenos Aires, and we've amassed a lot of very useful information for Buenos Aires travelers. With your registration we'll send you our "Guide for Tango Student Travelers", which many have found to be of considerable help in solving their travel problems. SPACE IS LIMITED!! Again, we have only two spaces left in the May 25-30 "A" program, and seven spaces left in the June 1-6 "B" program. All details are on our website at http://www.danceoftheheart.com/Intensivo2009.htm. As the remaining spaces are taken, we'll keep the website count updated as best we can, so you can make an informed decision - but don't wait too long! Hope to see you dancing soon!

Special thanks to Gail Ireland for hosting the Saturday Milonga at Wesley Center SOME INFORMATION ON RUBEN HARYMBAT Y ENRIQUETA KLEINMAN Iowa City Tango Club is very pleased to announce the return visit of Enriqueta Kleinman to Iowa City from April 3-9, 2009. She will be coming with her partner RUBEN HARYMBAT! This should be a special weekend of milonguero tango!-Take advantage of the availability of Private and Semi-Private Lessons during the weekend and the following week! A special Tuesday Group Class will be held on April 7 in lieu of regular Tuesday Practica. Contact Karen Jackson soon for more details on private lesson opportunities. RUBEN HARYMBAT (Ruben de Pompeya) is a milonguero from the golden era of tango. 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. Ruben raised his family with his wife, Haydee, "a beautiful dancer" he says. But Haydee had problems with her knees which means she can no longer dance. Ruben's passion for the tango is evident as soon as you see him on the dancer floor. His energy belies his age, or perhaps it is indicative of the many years he has expressed himself through the dance. Ruben is the "master of improvisation" and owner of enormous creativity. Ruben is highly sought out dancer in Argentina for performances. His performance partners have included Anna Maria Schapira, Alicia Pons, Susana Miller, Maria Plazaola, Enriqueta Kleinman, and Marisa Galindo among others. Ruben was invited to perform in November 2007 for the Congress of the Nation of Argentina in homage in "Recognition to the Milongueros of the night in Buenos Aires." Ruben's first visit to the United States was last year when he participated in the 2008 Chicago Mini Tango Festival. Ruben has also participated in the 2007 and 2008 Festival Tango Estilo Milonguero. He has given seminars with Susana Miller and Maria Plazaola at "La Academia" in Buenos Aires. Ruben has also made numerous trips to Brazil to teach and perform. ENRIQUETA KLEINMAN 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. ?HOUSING NOTE: If you know of people outside our area who would like to come for the workshops and are looking for housing during their stay - contact Workshop Coordinator Karen Jackson - CELL: 319-360-1249.

Charge by phone: 866.468.3401 ABOUT BAJOFONDO International Recording Artist Bajofondo is made up of eight musicians from Argentina and Uruguay. A "collective of composers, singers and artists," Bajofondo is part of the movement popularizing tango into mainstream World Music. They blend acoustic tango and electronic music in an evolving genre known as "Electrotango" or "Tango Fusion." Bajofondo appeals to more than tango lovers, using innovative forms of DNB, house music, chill out and trip-hop. Their latest album, Mar Dulce, is a mix of Latin Alternative and contemporary music of the R?o de la Plata at the border of Argentina and Uruguay. Gustavo A. Santaolalla is the prime mover behind Bajofondo. Santaolalla has produced albums for the films Amores Perros, 21 Grams and The Motorcycle Diaries. Santaolalla received a 2006 Academy Award for Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original Score) for Brokeback Mountain as well as a 2006 Golden Globe Award (Best Original Song). In 2007, he received his second Academy Award for the film score to Babel. Gustavo dedicated the award to his father and to his country Argentina.
