What could be better than that? Four Star Luxury Accomations in an historic Arte Deco 3,000 square foot Villa & the Garden Apartment nestled in a 200 sq. meter compound. Wonderful Gardens with stands of trees, & a private Sun Terrace. Here is how one of our guests described her experience; "After a recent trip to Buenos Aires, I feel compelled to provide the following recommendation for Casa Luna: If you want to enjoy the Tango atmosphere first hand without breaking the bank, you cannot beat Casa Luna in Buenos Aires. I found it to be affordable, safe, clean, and in the heart of the Tango district. When I wanted to explore other parts of the city I had the option of stepping out the front door and hailing a taxi or walking a couple blocks to the subway. The accommodations were quite charming. There is a lovely entrance and courtyard with a tropical atmosphere. I stayed in the smaller quarters that included a bedroom with a TV, and kitchenette. The bathroom was extremely nice and almost as large as the bedroom. I toured the larger quarters and found it to be absolutely beautiful and spacious while too large for one person. I cannot give the owner of Casa Luna enough praise as it was like having my own private tour guide. She knew the best places to eat and all of the tango halls intimately. If I was shopping for something special, she researched it and provided directions to the place so I could find it the following day such as hand-made tango shoes or other attire. I would be happy to provide a reference to for this proprietor in the future if requested. Charlyne Harrisburg, Pa. * * * * * Special off season rates available for June, July and August.

TANGO FESTIVAL: "BY DANCERS; FOR DANCERS" - Come join the friendly Denver Tango Dancers and your friends from past festivals. - We expect attendance to be in the 300 - 400 range. - See Class and Milonga schedule http://tango.org/2009memsched - Register at http://tango.org/2009memfest WHAT'S DIFFERENT 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. Special focus this year on history of tango, with rare selections from Daniel Trenner's extensive collection of videos and archival material. Daniel's collection includes videos and interviews with a number of well-known historic and current figures from tango. The jewel of course, will be the glorious Outdoor Milonga in the Cheesma Park Pavilion sponsored by Tango Colorado. 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. These seminars will draw from his extensive historical archives collected when he ran the CD and Video store "The Tango Catalogue".

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. Please see the class schedule for a list of all the classes and teachers. This is still preliminar, meaning that specific classes and teachers may shift around. EARLY PRICING - Milonga Pass $75 (All 7 milongas) - Workshop Pass $90 (4 classes) - Festival Pass $155 (All 7 milongas and 4 classes) - Saturday Arrival Pass $135 (4 milongas and 4 classes) - Additional Classes $35/day (2-classes) Tom Stermitz stermitz at tango.org Denver, CO, 80207 From ozmica at hotmail.com Sat May 2 18:35:00 2009 From: ozmica at hotmail.com (mika oyaiz) Date: Sat, 2 May 2009 18:35:00 -0400 Subject: [Tango-A] =?iso-8859-1?q?NA-E=3A_Monday_Guided_Pr=E1ctica_=40Spar?= =?iso-8859-1?q?k_Caf=E9_+_New_Class_5/7=2C_21=2C_28_+_Discounts_for_Milon?= =?iso-8859-1?q?gas!?= Message-ID: Every Monday 8-11pm Guided Practica - $5 No partner, no experience necessary.

The CMS Tango Institute will intersect tango scholarly studies with practical musical and cultural experiences, and provide participants with an authentic and holistic tango experience in the city of the art form s birth, Buenos Aires. The instrumental music portion of the Institute is under the direction of Sonia Possetti (pianist, composer, arranger) and Damian Bolot?n (violinist, composer, and arranger), who were recently featured during the 10th Tango Festival in Buenos Aires on August 23, 2008 with their own major concert performance. The academic studies portion of the Institute will be conducted by Institute Director, Kristin Wendland. The intensive 2-week program of study of tango music will integrate tango history, theory, practice, and culture, appealing to scholars and musicians who are interested in interdisciplinary studies, world music, and popular urban forms. It is designed for trained and experienced musicians who want to go to the source of the tango genre and have an authentic experience. The Institute will be limited to 12 participants (2 pianists, 2 bandoneonists, 4 violinists, 1 violist, 1 cellist, and 2 bassists) grouped into three ensembles: two piano quartets (violin, bass, bandoneon, and piano), and one standard string quartet. The practical, scholarly, and cultural aspects of the Institute also seek to promote on-going connections between North and South American musicians who study, write, and play tango music. We seek to encourage a professional and cultural exchange of musical knowledge and skills as well as friendship and camaraderie between musicians.

I came across the Avenue Inn B&B--http://www.avenueinnbb.com . It is situated on St. Charles (about three blocks from Napoleon). Tulane is about a mile away, and the milonga venue on Magazine Street is about 10 blocks away. From what I can tell, this is the most conveniently located hotel for the festival. It's website (plus reviews on TripAdvisor) showed it be quite upscale and one of the best and most highly lodgings in New Orleans. Late last night I sent an email to the owner and explained that I would be visiting for the festival and were there any good discounted rates available. He responded almost immediately and we negotiated a four night deal that, based on the hours I spent on TripAdvisor, Expedia, Orbitz and Hotel.com, is quite favorable. There are still rooms available for the weekend and he seems inclined to negotiate. His name is Joe and the telephone number is at the bottom of the avenueinnbb.com website.

Susana Miller will be back in Chicago from June 4-11, 2009. She will give another series of workshops the weekend of June 6 and 7. Saturday evening we will have a special Black and White Milonga. We have structured the classes this year for the intermediate and advanced dancer. There will be limited enrollment. We will attempt to gender balance the enrollment so that you can find a partner during the workshops. Individuals signing up with partners will have priority. Others can sign up as an individual if they take the full 6 class package which includes the Saturday milonga, or purchase a full day pass. People that sign up for an individual class will need to sign up with a partner. SUSANA MILLER BIO. Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the ?milonguero" style of tango or what Argentines call "apilado." This style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It is a strictly social style that emphasizes musicality and the connection between partners. Susana has researched and studied the dancing of the older milongueros, each of whom has created their own unique style of tango. She has been able to decipher their distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations, and is gifted in her ability to convey these to students. Susana encourages students to employ more rhythm in their dance, to discover their own dance vocabularies, and to learn how to shape and shrink these in space. For women, she encourages active following, in which the woman interprets the messages that the leader's body and the spirit are sending. Clarin, the major Buenos Aires daily paper, called her one of the four most important influences on contemporary tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and Gerardo Portalea.

Message-ID: NA-E: Tangogypsies Presents- June 4-8- Daniel Trenner in Asheville, NC! (Tango Pioneer, Story Teller, and Historian) Don?t miss this exciting opportunity to study with a true tango maestro! Daniel Trenner is one of Tango's modern pioneers. He happened on Tango in Buenos Aires in 1986 while he was there teaching Jazz and Improvisation at the State School of Contemporary Dance. He was one of the first dozen young people involved in tango's revival. He studied with, interviewed, filmed and organized for many of the Milongueros, the older generation dancers. He has been called a ?Johnny Appleseed of Tango? for his 20 years of touring as a tango teacher, visiting more than 100 cities on 4 continents. He was one of the early proponents of teaching tango by its elements, he created the first Tango tours to Buenos Aires (Bridge to the Tango), and the first Tango store in North America (The Tango Catalogue). He produced more than 80 volumes of Tango Instructional Video, with more than 40 artists (BttTV).

For more information and to Pre-Register: Contact Nina at ninatanguera at gmail.com or 312-730-8873 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.

We will attempt to gender balance the enrollment so that you can find a partner during the workshops. People that sign up for an individual class will need to sign up with a partner. SUSANA MILLER BIO. Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the ?milonguero" style of tango or what Argentines call "apilado." This style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It is a strictly social style that emphasizes musicality and the connection between partners. Susana has researched and studied the dancing of the older milongueros, each of whom has created their own unique style of tango. She has been able to decipher their distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations, and is gifted in her ability to convey these to students. Susana encourages students to employ more rhythm in their dance, to discover their own dance vocabularies, and to learn how to shape and shrink these in space. For women, she encourages active following, in which the woman interprets the messages that the leader's body and the spirit are sending. Clarin, the major Buenos Aires daily paper, called her one of the four most important influences on contemporary tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and Gerardo Portalea.

Norberto ?El Pulpo? Esbrez?s father and grandfather both were respected bandoneon players; his dancing is innately infused with musicality. Nicknamed ?El Pulpo? (the octopus) due to his uniquely fluid style - effortlessly leading and engaging complicated movements within the tango salida such as displacements, ganchos, enganches, enredadas, ocho ?loco?s, suspensi?ns, cruces con cambio de peso ? continuously intertwining his legs with those of his partner?s. El Pulpo is renowned in Buenos Aires and throughout the world for his thorough understanding of the balance, body positions and partner communication fundamental to this exquisite leg work. Already with numerous innovations in the Argentine tango world to his credit, El Pulpo is incessantly developing his distinctive technique and style which he will share with the Chicago tango community and visiting tangophiles during June 24-30, 2009. ?The improvisation is me at the present moment. And, in the present moment, there's only me and my dance partner. What dance (other than Argentine Tango) is more true to what one feels? ? I fly listening to melodies. I inspire myself all the time in the melody. ? It gives an endless freedom, something that to me is fundamental in my dance. My dance expresses the freedom I have inside and the music ? inspires freedom.? Norberto ?El Pulpo? Esbrez Pulpo?s clear, relaxed, humorous style of instruction helps students achieve greater precision and creativity. Pulpo, a teacher at Fabian Salas? CITA (mid-March in BsAs) since 2001, has garnered instructional and performance acclaim throughout Europe and South America as well as the U.S. He now organizes Pulpo?s Tango Week each November in Buenos Aires.

Starts Thurs night through the wee hours Monday morning, so plan to come early, stay late, and don't miss a thing. Announcing Gustavo Benzecry Saba and Maria Olivara from Buenos Aires. They are the hottest thing going now, getting great reviews everywhere they go. See a clip from the Chicago Mini Festival. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ9Y7-eoEpc&feature=channel_page 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. Also this year I have invited James Smith and Mariallan Shadle 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. Super 8 has a tango festival price of $55.00 for up to 4 people per room. Call 417.461.0230 Gender balance is goal. Ladies, please bring a partner. Men, we need you. Space is limited to 120 very close dancers, another 20 on the outdoor balcony, and another 20 downstairs eating chocolate cake. Gaia Banovich will be here with tango shoes galore. So bring shoe money and art money. She and Chas Gale will be performing in the park for the art festival, along with the teaching staff, and all of you! Mt Vernon is a sleepy little town where the Ozark Mountains meet the Western Prairie. Drive on to Branson, l hr and 15 minutes away. Natural scenery at its best.

It is with your help, indeed, and your support that I can continue to bring you the best talent, best teachers, best venue and best event we can offer you from Argentina. Over the Memorial Weekend we experienced milongas every night of over 350 people in a huge dance floor at the Deauville's Napoleon Ballroom. The Masters of Tango Show was awesome, spectacular beyond description, with 8 couples of the best show talent there is. It can be said that this Congress, by far, has been the best ever. My promise to you is that next year it will be even better, and every year we are going to strive to make this Festival greater and greater. Please tell your friends. Let's get on a campaign to elevate Tango Fantasy to the next level. With your help we can do it.

We have structured the classes this year for the intermediate and advanced dancer. There will be limited enrollment so please contact me as soon as possible if you plan to attend. We will attempt to gender balance the enrollment so that you can find a partner during the workshops. People that sign up for an individual class will need to sign up with a partner. Saturday evening, June 6th, we plan to have a Black and White Milonga. Friday evening, June 5th, we plan to be at Los Besos Milonguita at Barba Yianni. SUSANA MILLER BIO. Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the "milonguero" style of tango or what Argentines all "apilado." This style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It is a strictly social style that emphasizes musicality and the connection between partners. Susana has researched and studied the dancing of the older milongueros, each of whom has created their own unique style of tango. She has been able to decipher their distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations, and is gifted in her ability to convey these to students. Susana encourages students to employ more rhythm in their dance, to discover their own dance vocabularies, and to learn how to shape and shrink these in space. For women, she encourages active following, in which the woman interprets the messages that the leader's body and the spirit are sending. Clarin, the major Buenos Aires daily paper, called her one of the four most important influences on contemporary tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and Gerardo Portalea.
