With a solid foundation in technique and musicality, Enriqueta gives classes to men and women of tango, waltz and milonga. She puts the accent in the structure that makes it possible that one?s expression appears and develops. Enriqueta travels endlessly and has taught in many cities of the United States and Canada: Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Ann Arbor, Tucson, Iowa City, San Francisco, San Diego, Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, etc. She has also participated in the following tango festivals: May Madness (Ann Arbor), Valentango (Portland), Tucson Tango Festival, and the Chicago Mini Tango Festival.. Enriqueta is the owner of a charismatic personality. She transmits her passion to her students and motivates them to dance ?what they feel in their soul and put it into their body?.

Message-ID: <903523.16028.qm@web56403.mail.re3.yahoo.com> There's only one week left to register for Tango de los Muertos workshops! Preregistration for workshops closes on October 10th. Preregistration FOR MILONGAS ONLY will continue until October 22nd. Don't miss workshops with: Carolina del Rivero & Donato Juarez (Buenos Aires) Melina Sedo & Detlef Engel (Germany) Veronica Toumanova & Fausto Carpino (Paris & Sicily) Korey Ireland (Kansas City) It's the final Tango de los Muertos, October 29th - November 1st 2009, Boston. http://www.tangodelosmuertos.com/ Why should I preregister for workshops by Oct 10th? => You'll have more choice of workshops if you register early. => You'll be able to plan your weekend schedule ahead of time, being assured of your spot in workshops. => During pre-registration, you can join intermediate workshops without a partner. During at-the-door registration, all participants will need to register with a partner so that we can try to maintain balance between leaders and followers. What happens if I don't pre-register for workshops by Oct 10th? => You will be able to pay at the door for any workshops that aren't already full. However, since workshops are balanced between leaders and followers, you'll either have to bring your partner or find someone hanging around the registration desk who wants to join the same workshop in the opposite role... => Please note, workshops may fill up with just a few people at the door, so you won't be certain of your space in workshops unless you register by October 10th. For important information about workshop topics and levels, please check the website: http://www.tangodelosmuertos.com/workshops.html Why should I come to Tango de los Muertos? The festival is held in a beautiful, modern venue; the teachers and DJs are top-notch; you can join guided stretching, lectures about tango, and a tango jam; Ben Bogart y los Gatos Azules will play; we've got our own orchestra that will perform a set (it's always a highlight); the milongas will wow you with ambiance to go along with the suggested costume themes; the performances will inspire and delight; and last -- but most importantly -- there are fabulous dancers like you coming to participate in Tango de los Muertos from across the United States and from Canada and Europe! (And there's some crazy secret stuff afoot...we can't tell you more just yet, but we'll let you know about it very soon!) We are truly excited to present you with this festival! So, do plan to join us but don't forget to register early. :) Abrazos, Tova & Carlos MorenoTango www.TangoDeLosMuertos.com From MargVance at aol.com Sun Oct 4 21:40:13 2009 From: MargVance at aol.com (MargVance@aol.com) Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 21:40:13 EDT Subject: [Tango-A] NA-C:Austin Spring Tango Festival March 26-28, 2010 Message-ID: Austin Spring Tango Festival.

They will do a weekend of workshops on October 31 and November 1. We have added a Halloween Milonga with performances by Gustavo and Maria on the evening of October 31st. The Milonga is included in the pricing for individuals who purchase the entire package. Biography Gustavo Benzecry Sab? & Mar?a Olivera are a young couple of dancers that represent the most authentic way of experiencing an artistic expression known around the world for its elegance, sensuality and expressiveness. Dancers of the so-called "Tango Sal?n", they show this dance the way it is danced in its original ambience: the "milongas" of Buenos Aires, the Capital city of Argentina. They teach regular classes at one of the most prestigious dance halls of that city, the "Sal?n Canning" located in the Palermo quarter. They started working as a couple 4 years ago, and soon they became one of the most distinguished couples of Tango Sal?n, being recognized by their pairs because of their elegance, musicality and creativity. During 2008 and 2009 they've toured more than 20 cities including New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston, Chicago (where they participated in the last Chicago Mini Tango Fest with great success - you can click on this link to watch their performance during the festival: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ9Y7-eoEpc) and Portland, where they got the highest records for their instruction in the October Festival. You can also see them in a recent video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjiktLyXBzM Besides teaching and performing, Gustavo Benzecry Sab? has written two tango-related books, the Tango Danza Glossary - Key Tango Argentino Dance Terms (Abrazosbooks - 2004, endorsed with a prologue written by Carlos Gavito and Juan Carlos Copes, and an epilogue by Miguel Angel Zotto) a dictionary containing more than 300 terms, and Embracing Tango - Techniques and metaphors between Tango and life (Abrazosbooks, 2006 - prologue by Mar?a Nieves and epilogue by Aurora L?biz). This last one, translated by Mar?a Olivera, is the first written approximation to the original Tango Sal?n (also known as "close embrace") style, that has been danced in Buenos Aires for over a hundred years. It includes the explanation of 6 basic sequences as well as articles related to the embrace, the improvisation, the dance floor and the surrender. It is finally the first written guide to the so-called "milonga codes", the rules of behavior and interaction of people in the context of the "milonga". Copies of this last book are going to be available for purchasing during the workshops.

Message-ID: <2B5E67E568974BE9AD89780F73A3AB20@laptop4018c244> "Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." ~Charlie Parker Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of Tango, Thank you for your wonderful enthusiasm for our musicality classes! It was amazing to see your work in class and the results. It was our first experience teaching this material in this format, and, honestly, we didn't know what to expect. As it turned out, we were correct in our assessment of the dancers' needs. And so as promised, we will continue with Part II this coming Saturday, October 10, 2009, 4-6PM. One of the most unique and valuable aspects of our classes, as we have discovered while teaching Part I, is that we do not have to change dancers' style or convert dancers to our way of dancing. With this material, dancers improve technically in their own chosen style because they begin to understand the demands, offerings and opportunities that the music presents and learn to use the technique they already have in a new, more refined and creative way. This material is new and, to our knowledge, has never been presented by anyone else anywhere in the world in any form, similar or not. It is based on our own knowledge, discoveries and experimentation. It opens an entirely new world of Argentine Tango to dancers of all levels, from rank beginners to the dancers of the stage, a world where movements of any complexity come easily and where music guides the quality of movement. This class is about CREATING music through movement, creating a new layer of music. It is for both men and women, because both are important and essential contributors to this way of dancing. This is part II of IV part series. If you have not attended Part I, please contact me first before registering. And please register as soon as you can, so that we have a gender balanced class. What: Musicality Master Class Part II with Gregory ("Grisha") Nisnevich & Nina Pesochinsky When: Saturday, October 10, 2009, 4-6PM. Where: Consulate Healing Center, 750 E. 9th Ave, Suite 210, Denver, CO 80203 Cost: $25 Registration deadline: Friday, October 9, 2009. Thank you, Dancers! Your warmth, enthusiasm, and desire and love for tango greatly inspire us. Our warmest regards to every one of you, Nina & Grisha 720-434-4342 (Nina) 303-306-7337 (Grisha) You may find Grisha and Nina at www.tangoledanza.com or on Facebook.

She has danced in numerous shows and exhibitions in Argentina, including "Madero Tango" in Puerto Madero, "Bar Sur" in San Telmo, "Taconeando" and "La Ventana" at the famous Casa de Tango. Elizabeth is the founding partner, artistic director and choreographer of the E.O.P. Tango Company, based in Buenos Aires. She is also the co-director and instructor of the Argentine tango school, 2 Para el Tango, at which some of the best known dancers and teachers in tango hold classes. For four years she served as an assistant teacher at the International Tango Congress (CITA) in Buenos Aires. From the many great Argentinean teachers with whom she has formally studied, Elizabeth has developed a teaching style that focuses on creating an understanding of the aesthetics, body dynamics and discipline that support the dancing of Tango. Mariano Gauna began his career in dance as a child, studying Argentine folk dance, modern dance, and specially tango. Since 1996, he has performed with several dance companies and danced in the most popular tango houses and shows in Buenos Aires. Mariano also has toured with several tango shows in Europe, Asia and Latin America. His tango dancing style emphasizes in a strong technique, a firm and clear embrace, elegance and sensuality, without losing the essence of the expression of the Tango.

She has danced in numerous shows and exhibitions in Argentina, including "Madero Tango" in Puerto Madero, "Bar Sur" in San Telmo, "Taconeando" and "La Ventana" at the famous Casa de Tango. Elizabeth is the founding partner, artistic director and choreographer of the E.O.P. Tango Company, based in Buenos Aires. She is also the co-director and instructor of the Argentine tango school, 2 Para el Tango, at which some of the best known dancers and teachers in tango hold classes. For four years she served as an assistant teacher at the International Tango Congress (CITA) in Buenos Aires. From the many great Argentinean teachers with whom she has formally studied, Elizabeth has developed a teaching style that focuses on creating an understanding of the aesthetics, body dynamics and discipline that support the dancing of Tango. Mariano Gauna began his career in dance as a child, studying Argentine folk dance, modern dance, and specially tango. Since 1996, he has performed with several dance companies and danced in the most popular tango houses and shows in Buenos Aires. Mariano also has toured with several tango shows in Europe, Asia and Latin America. His tango dancing style emphasizes in a strong technique, a firm and clear embrace, elegance and sensuality, without losing the essence of the expression of the Tango.

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."

We are happy to announce that on Tuesday, Oct 20, COCHABAMBA'S guest artists will be OLIVER KOLKER y SILVINA VALS, publicly claimed throughout the world as outstanding teachers and performers.

A dance step is taught followed by partner exploration. 2. An opportunity to integrate the new step into the known while guest artists circulate around the room to make corrections. 3. A fun exhibition by guest artists. 4. Dancing the night away with your favorite friends to wonderful music on an amazing dancefloor!!!!!!!!! Un abrazo y a la pista! Angela Maria .

I understand your disappointment, but, unfortunately, I do not have answers for the course of events. Let us thank Travis Neel for giving the NY tango community the gift of Gustavo Naveira's brief inquiry teaching system of tango. Gustavo Naveira is considered the best teacher in the world, as he provides meaning to a simple step in one lesson. Many of us were looking forward to the experience of learning from Gustavo. One of my dreams, is for GyG bring back the Tango Art Festival to N.Y.C. in the near future. Wishing everyone lots of fun on the dance floor! Un abrazo y a la pista!

Message-ID: Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of Tango, Thank you for your enthusiasm for our Polyphonic Dancing Musicality master classes. The last class was a sold out event! We are very grateful to you. Grisha and I are very happy to be offering something that dancers find so valuable. The material that we are offering in our classes is very new. It is the technique of dancing tango through all of the intricacies of music, including the quality of sound of musical notes. It is very precise because the music is precise. Translating all of the elements of music into movement demands perfect technique, regardless of your chosen style of dancing. What we have found is that dancers do not have to learn to dance in our style, but can improve in their own chosen style of dancing through understanding how to interpret music through movement as musicians do with their instruments. Because we are learning how other dancers absorb and integrate this material into their own dancing, we carefully listen to your feedback. It is an important guidance that we never want to miss. It helps us to continue offering you material that you find useful and that, hopefully, contributes to your success and enjoyment of your tango experience. As a response to the dancers' requests, we are going to offer a 2-hour practice session on Saturday, October 31, 2009, 4-6PM. We will briefly review the material from the two previous classes and we will work with you individually as much as possible to help you integrate this material. Our focus will be on you dancing the music and we hope that during this practice session, every one of you will move further in the development of your own unique style. This class is open to all dancers who have participated in either one or both master classes and it is limited to 20 dancers. The registration deadline is Tuesday, October 27, 2009. The registration forms will be available at the TC practica on Tuesday, Mercury Cafe milonga on Friday, or you may request to receive it as an e-mail attachment. Because it is essential for this kind of work that the class is gender-balanced, it would help us greatly if you register early. What: Polyphonic Dancing Practice Session with Gregory ("Grisha") Nisnevich & Nina Pesochinsky. When: Saturday, October 31, 2009, 4-6PM. Where: Consulate Healing Center, 750 E. 9th Ave, Suite 210, Denver, CO 80203. Cost: $25 Registration deadline: Friday, October 27, 2009. Please fo not hesitate to contact us if we can answer any questions you may have. Thank you, Dancers! Our warmest regards to every one of you, Nina & Grisha 720-434-4342 (Nina) 303-306-7337 (Grisha) You may find Grisha and Nina at www.tangoledanza.com or on Facebook.

Getting into the Milongas: Pre-register or Pay at the Door? Pre-registration for Tango de los Muertos milongas closes on October 22nd. We know many dancers who are planning to come haven't registered yet, and at least in regards to milonga attendance, we're a bit worried about that! We don't want to turn anyone away at the door, but we also don't want the festival to be too much bigger than last year. If you haven't registered and want to ensure that you get into the milongas, please do so in the next two days before pre-registration closes. By registering now, you will not only help with our planning but you'll also be guaranteeing your own spot and short-circuiting the ticket line each night. And don't forget that if you want to purchase a Dance Pass for discounted entry to all the milongas, you can ONLY do that during pre-registration. At the door, we will only accept cash or check for individual events.

These workshops are not officially part of Tango de los Muertos, but we fully support them and we encourage you to go! The non-profit organization Springstep -- the site of Tango de los Muertos -- is hosting two Argentine Folkloric workshops taught by Pampa Cortes of Forever Tango. The workshops, on malambo and chacarera, will take place Thursday night before the festival's opening night milonga. There will likely be a couple of chacareras played during TdlM, so take these workshops to learn how to join in!

At the door prices will be higher than pre-registration prices, so register by October 28th.

Or, try Priceline: http://www.priceline.com/ Costumes: Choose your Own Adventure The playful spirit of the festival, as shown in the costume themes, is what makes this festival unique. But that doesn't mean you have to come in costume!! The last thing we want is for you to stress out about getting all creative. If you enjoy getting all dressed up (or down? or all around?), then do it. And if not, just come in your normal clothes! We estimate that about 50% of the attendees come in costume, so you should feel really free to choose which group you want to join each night. If you do plan to wear costumes, please go to the Milonga Info page of the TdlM website to read each night's Theme as well as important Costume Cautions. One note I want to highlight is our request that for Friday's Energy Milonga you don't wear flashing lights since they may interfere with other dancers tango trances. Thanks! We'll see you next week in Boston for the last Tango de los Muertos, October 29th - November 1st.

She is a teacher and dancer of tango ? ?Milonguero Style?, and also a singer of tango music. She is also a teacher of drawing and painting and a painter. In tango, Enriqueta has had different teachers that have indelible tracks in her. She investigated with each one of them styles and concepts. This is their concept of the dance and their teachings transformed into her own. Her teachers included teachers such as: Carlos Gavito (?technique for the woman?, Roberto ?Pocho? Carreras, Nely Fernando, Ana Maria Shapira, and Susana Miller. It is with Susan Miller that Enriqueta ?learned how to teach?. With time and more so by teaching other disciplines, Enriqueta developed her own pedalogical method. With a solid foundation in technique and musicality, Enriqueta gives classes to men and women of tango, waltz and milonga. She puts the accent in the structure that makes it possible that one?s expression appears and develops. Enriqueta travels tiredlessly and has travelled teaching through many cities of the United States and Canada: Chicago; Seattle; Portland; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Tucson, Arizona; Iowa City; San Francisco; San Diego; Toronto, Vancouver, etc. She has also participated in the following tango festival: May Madness (Ann Arbor), Valentengo (Portland), Tucson Tango Festival, and the Chicago Mini Tango Festival.. Enriqueta is the owner of a charismatic personality. She transmits her passion to her students and motivates them to dance ?what they feel in their soul and put it into their body?. She is beloved and respected by her students. She establishes strong principles and she generates a climate of intense but pleasant and amusing work.

See you there! Iowa City Tango Club is Partnered with the Iowa City Senior Center to present this Very Special Workshop - Workshop coordination by Karen Jackson, ICTC, and Ray Barbosa, Chicago Milonguero, Ltd. SOMETHING ABOUT OUR GUEST 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. In 2008 and early 2009 she had an extended 2-week stay in Iowa City/Cedar Rapids to teach tango. Enriqueta Kleinman is an artist by profession. She is a teacher and dancer of tango - "Milonguero Style", and also a singer of tango music. She is also a teacher of drawing and painting and a painter. In Tango, Enriqueta has had different teachers that have left indelible tracks in her. She investigated with each one of them styles and concepts. This is their concept of the dance and their teachings transformed into her own. Her teachers included: Carlos Gavito "technique for the woman", Roberto "Pocho" Carreras, Nely Fernando, Ana Maria Shapira, and Susana Miller. It is with Susan Miller that Enriqueta "learned how to teach". With time and more so by teaching other disciplines, Enriqueta developed her own pedagogical method. With a solid foundation in technique and musicality, Enriqueta gives classes to men and women of tango, waltz and milonga. She puts the accent in the structure that makes it possible that one's expression appears and develops. Enriqueta travels tirelessly and has travelled teaching through many cities of the United States and Canada: Chicago; Seattle; Portland; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Tucson, Arizona; Iowa City; San Francisco; San Diego; Toronto, Vancouver, etc. She has also participated in the following tango festival: May Madness (Ann Arbor), Valentengo (Portland), Tucson Tango Festival, and the Chicago Mini Tango Festival. Enriqueta is the owner of a charismatic personality. She transmits her passion to her students and motivates them to dance "what they feel in their soul and put it into their body". Enriqueta was invited in April 2009 by Northwestern University to give a lecture entitled: Males and Females and their relation with the dance of tango. She has been invited again by Northwestern University to give another lecture in October 2009. She is beloved and respected by her students. She establishes strong principles and she generates a climate of intense but pleasant and amusing work. She begins her tour outside of Argentina the final week of August and expects to travel throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Israel.

Dancers travel all the time; *an entire band*, on the other hand, is a rare visitor 2. A true tango band *plays music that dancers* can move to. 3. You may not understand the lyrics, but you can *understand the sentiments* of the songs 4. For less than the price of Esplanade concert hall ticket, you can have *ring-side seats *5. If you miss this, you have to *fly to Buenos Aires* to have the same experience This upcoming band (http://cambatango.com) is also unique in that it has a *Japanese bandoneonist*; like many tango fanatics around the world he went to Buenos Aires years ago to learn from the masters and eventually excelled to the point that he could claim a place next to the locals on stage. (Isn't it impressive how the Japanese are winning the world dance championship and churning out top musicians? Inspiration for Asians to aim higher!) Please book your tickets early --- those turning without tickets on Saturday 31/oct may not be admitted if the salon capacity is reached. ============================================================ ABRAZOS : Music + Dance + Culture Ganges Studio - 568 Ganges Avenue #02-100 Singapore 160568 Cathay Studio - 2 Handy Road #B1-08 Singapore 229233 Web: abrazosclub.com / Voice: 6271-3040 / Sms: 9637-3512 From sasconsul at ureach.com Fri Oct 23 15:09:17 2009 From: sasconsul at ureach.com (Stuart Schmukler) Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:09:17 -0400 Subject: [Tango-A] NA-W: Elizabeth McGee Memorial Celebration Oct 24th 3pm Message-ID: <200910231909.n9NJ9HtW015023@ureach.com> ________________________________________ From: Michael Proctor ******* Dear Friends, some of you may already know the sad news that Elizabeth died peaceful in her sleep, Sunday Oct 4th at 8pm.

Buffy Sainte-Marie Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of Tango, Just a reminder that Grisha and I will offer a special Polyphonic dancing practica this coming Saturday, October 31, 2009, 4-6PM. It is going to work more as a semi-private lesson and you will be dancing the entire time. We will review the concepts that we have convered in the two master classes, but will do so only briefly so that it helps you remember what you did. Our goal is to help you integrate all of the concepts as much as possible. The purpose of this session will be for you to dance, transforming music into movement with all of the intricacies of the most skilled and talented musician. We will work with you on your technique and musical interpretation in your own chosen style of dancing. We have reviewed the video of the last class, and we were very impressed about the visible difference in the quality of movement as you were working on integrating the music into movement. When there is time, I will make a short video of your dancing so that you can actually see what you did. Even though I saw the difference in class, it was impressive to see the transformation recorded in the video. You may have already noticed how important it is to have a gender balanced classes. If you would like to register for this practica, please e-mail me by the end of the day on Tuesday. Because Saturday is Halloween, there will be an Annual Halloween milonga at the Tango House in the evening, so this will be a great additional opportunity to dance and integrate your practice session with us, and fill your entire day with dance and music.

The tango that Maxi transmits is based upon communication between dancers in a continuously close respectful navigation on the dance floor. Consequently, his based on posture, leading & following, & musicality as a creativity. He focuses on improvisation as key to develop a fun & enjoyable for the couple, while still comfortably limited space.

Workshops at Practilonga 939 with Heather Whitehead 939 8th Avenue, room/buzzer 200 Saturday November 7th 3:00 - 4:30 INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCED. IMPROVISATION: For the social tango dancer, improvisation is both a need to navigate as well an element of creativity. In this lesson we will practice several ideas that will act as improvisation boosters, consequently making us find new and personal steps. 4:30 - 6:00 MUSICALITY: RHYTHM, PAUSE, AND PHRASE. This lesson is an introduction to advanced musicality in the language of the Buenos Aires milonga. We will base our work in rhythm and the way it lives in the dancer's body, pause as a necessary, but not necessarily explicit, element of the musical representation, and phrase, as a vehicle of connection with the melody. Sunday November 8th 3:00 - 4:30 INTERMEDIATE ? ADVANCED. UNUSUAL OCHOS. We have been struggling with/enjoying ochos since our first days of tango! Now did we exhaust the possibilities of this trademark of tango? In this lesson we will take ochos a step ahead by combining, twisting, repeating or isolating them. 4:30 - 6:00 MILONGA DANCE AND ITS RHYTHMIC PATTERNS.

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. 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 cortinas. Most people are familiar with the cabeceo to get dances, and the teachers will emphasize navigation and floorcraft in their classes.
