While also excellent show dancers, Oscar and Georgina focus in their teaching on material that is most useful for social dancing. By minimizing the steps they focus on the more challenging elements of technique that bring the dancing of their students all together to a higher level. Oscar?s ebullient and warm personality, remarkable and unceasing passion for tango and genial manners make studies with him most enjoyable and inspiring. Georgina is famous for her unique cat-like, sexy way of moving, the secrets of which she is always ready to share with her students. Summary: -------------- 1) About Oscar and Georgina 2) 'Vida Mia', Friday, September 25 - program and prices 3) Schedule and prices for the weekend workshops (September 26 and 27) 4) Locations 5) Links for videos of Oscar and Georgina 1) ABOUT OSCAR AND GEORGINA Together since 2006, Oscar and Georgina are one of the most exciting, sensual and passionate couples in Argentine tango today. Their style embodies all the elegance, grace and romance we associate with tango. They are special guest artists at the Esquina Carlos Gardel, home of the most prestigious tango show in Buenos Aires. Radiating connection to each other and to the music, they create these unforgettable moments for which we love tango. In their teaching Oscar and Georgina focus on the quality of the movement, its magnetic density and elasticity, as well as on the connection between partners and ability of expressing the 'mood' of different tango orchestras. Together they have created a series of instructional DVDs (Romantic Tango, Rhythmic Tango, and Oscar and Georgina's Tango Secrets I and II). Currently they are on an eight-month-long teaching and performing tour in the US. Oscar Mandagaran starred on Broadway in 'Forever Tango' and toured with the show for seven years. He danced with the 'Forever Tango' cast in the show 'Malambo', in the Carlos Saura's film 'Tango', and has performed in major cities all over the world. One of the most hailed teachers internationally, Oscar is particularly beloved for his exuberant personality and his ability to teach passion and emotion of Tango, imparting secrets that help each student discover his/her own unique quality as a dancer. Georgina Vargas began dancing tango professionally at the age 19. In addition to Tango she obtained training in ballet, neo-classical and contemporary dance, as well as dance pedagogy. She founded the Company Con Sabor a Tango which toured Europe, Japan and Asia. She has performed in major Tango shows in Argentina, Italy and Japan and has taught around the world. In 2001 she produced Noches Argentinas in Tokyo, Japan, for which she received special recognition by the Argentine Embassy in honor of her spectacular performance and her role in presenting Tango to the world. Georgina is an accomplished tango singer and in 2006 she recorded her first CD, Por Aquellos Tangos. 2) 'VIDA MIA', FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 8pm - 9pm - Class 9pm - 12am - Milonga with performance by Oscar and Georgina, DJ Simonida Prices for that Friday evening only: Class $12, Milonga $12, both $18; Students $5 off 3) SCHEDULE AND PRICES FOR THE WEEKEND WORKSHOPS (September 26 and 27) Saturday Workshops ------------------------------- 12noon - 1:15pm / FEELING TANGO - all levels 1:30 - 2:45pm / 'QUEBRADAS'-FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE - all levels 3 - 4:15pm / ROMANTIC TANGO - intermediate & up Sunday Workshops ----------------------------- 12noon - 1:15pm / DENSITY and ELASTICITY - all levels 1:30 - 2:45pm / RHYTHMIC TANGO - intermediate & up 3 - 4:15pm / GIROS & ENROSQUES MILONGUEROS - intermediate & up Prices for the weekend workshops -------------------------------------------------- Advance by September 23: any one/$ 25, any 2/$ 45, any 3/$ 65, all 6/$115 Please make checks payable to Simonida and send them to the following address: Simonida Cekovic-Vuletic, 9 Union Street, Cambridge, MA 02139 Prices at the door: any 1/$ 30, any 2/$ 55, any 3/$ 75, all 6/$ 130 Students: $15 at all times 4) LOCATION FOR THE EVENTS Please note that there are two venues: Vida Mia, Friday, September 25 ---------------------------------------------- Church of our Saviour, 21 Marathon Street in Arlington This is the space where 'Vida Mia' always takes place.

They will be in Chicago from October 29-November 5 and will do a weekend of workshops on October 30 and 31.They will also be available for private lessons during their stay. The early bird registration discount expires September 30, 2009. 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. 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.

Gustavo Naveira was an integral part of the resurgence of tango in Buenos Aires starting in the mid-1980's. As one of the most successful and well-known teachers of that era, even in his early years, he was devoted to the late-night Buenos Aires Milonga culture, studying it carefully while gradually earning the respect and even the deep friendship of many of the veteran tango dancers of those milongas. Some of those veterans had pioneered a way of dancing that earned them the nickname "petiteros", because of the particular way they tended to employ space and rhythm in their tango. These veteran dancers eventually came to be known by others as "milongueros", although the name started out as a teasing joke they played on each other and on themselves. In his early years, Gustavo rapidly became a fixture on the Buenos Aires milonga scene, social dancing virtually every night for fifteen years. In the current stage of his tango career, with his magnificently regal partner Giselle Anne, he forms with her the premier dancing and teaching partnership of the new tango millennium. Their influence is truly global, and has inspired countless tango aficionados to sing their praises in seminars and workshops around the world. We in Boulder are amazingly fortunate to have this opportunity to learn from the world's best about the history, the feeling, the technique and the sensibility of social tango "the way they dance in Buenos Aires" - from a truly "eyewitness" account! Now is YOUR chance to dance and learn in the company of these magnificent dancers and teachers! Let their warmth, clarity, insight and beautiful technique bring YOUR social tango to its next level! All events will be held in the spacious new "Sodal Studio" at Boulder's Avalon Ballroom, 6185 Arapahoe Avenue. PARTNER RECOMMENDED, BUT *NOT* REQUIRED! We will call for rotation in class for those who wish to rotate among partners, OR you can freely choose to remain with your partner of mutual choice. We may eventually restrict registration of women or of men based on our ongoing attempts to maintain gender balance. We will have some trained staff members in the rotation who are able to dance either role. Register early for your best chance to attend all workshops! Payment accepted in cash or checks at the door, or online via PayPal at http://www.danceoftheheart.com/CTE2009Main.htm. All workshops are $30, with a 20% discount (i.e., $24) for students with ID. An all-class pass covering all four workshops is $100, or $80 for students with an ID. PayPal fees are added on for credit card purchases online. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us by return email, or by calling 303-938-0716. See you in September!

Daniela and then-partner Armando Orzuza taught here fairly regularly a few years ago, winning many fans. We?re delighted to have Daniela back teaching here again. Daniela Arcuri grew up in the heart of Buenos Aires, where she absorbed the English, French, Spanish and mostly Italian influences that define the cosmopolitan "porte?o" culture of this port city. At age thirteen, Daniela began training in ballet, modern dance, music, acting, jazz, argentinean folk dancing and gymnastics. 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. The partnership of Daniela & Armando Orzuza was one of the most important professional tango couples in the world. They have performed along with very important artists such as Julio Iglesias, Madonna, Libertad Lamarque, Maria Grana, Alba Solis, Beba Vidart, Juan Carlos Copes y Maria Nieves, Pepito Avellaneda, Fernando Soler, Sexteto Mayor Orchestra, Sexteto Tango Orchestra, La orquesta de Ernesto Franco, The Symphonic Orchestra from the Hollywoood Bowl among others.

Claudio & Agustina will electrify us with amazing techniques that are both sensual and dynamic, and all within clear boundaries of traditional milonguero dancing. Their Vals with a Flair include techniques on interpreting both slow and quick valses that have never before been taught in the Northeast.

Despite their enormous popularity all over the world and the United States, this is their first visit to the South-East. They will be completing their 6 month tour in Europe and heading directly to Atlanta. So who are they and what makes them so special? Murat and Michelle have well over ten years of experience in teaching and performing. Their methods of instruction are accessible and continue to be extremely successful. It is rare to see a couple teaching with such simplicity and clarity and also inspiring students with their unique style of improvisational dance. What makes Murat and Michelle even more unusual is their emphasis on community building and tolerance among divisive groups. M & M's teaching style is concept based. They teach the logic, anatomy and geometry of the dance. Students learn about connection, lead and follow, musicality and etiquette. Most importantly they gain valuable skills in order to dance socially in the milonga and take a more active role in their own education. They have taught successfully in all the major festivals in the US and have been visiting numbers of countries in Europe and Australia. Mark your calendars (January 15-17 of 2010) and come to enjoy FUN, JOY and LOVE of TANGO that Michelle and Murat keep portraying and transmitting through their dance and teaching.

We're welcoming visitors from around the country who are joining us for a special-topic "Tango Milonguero" 20-hour couples-only seminar, or combining their Denver Tango Festival visit with the TangoEncuentroT seminar. And as a special Labor Day surprise gift to us, tomorrow night Gustavo Naveira will be our DJ! For those who are unaware, Gustavo amassed years of DJing in the Buenos Aires milonga scene while also simultaneously revolutionizing the understanding of the structure of the tango dance. Fifteen years of nightly attendance at Buenos Aires milongas gives him an unparalleled feeling for the music of tango's Golden Age - music that formed the "soundtrack" of his own tango development. For all the TangoEncuentroT events, we'll again have Boulder's majestic Avalon Ballroom as our "tango basecamp". Details below - hope to see you there!

This week we have one last chance to learn from these two masters and it will be a very interesting and different kind of class. They will teach exercises to help you create a connection with your partner. Tango is about connecting and if you have seen them dance you know what having a perfect connection can do to your dancing. The class was described to me by Gustavo and Maria as this: "if you are watching a movie you have a choice, you can either just sit passively and criticize or you can be IN the movie." If you want "to be in the movie" you need to come on Tuesday. Aren't you intrigued? I am!

They have taken the leap of faith to come to the country. Other brave instructors have come before them: Robin Thomas, Robert Hauk, Jennifer and Ney, Barbara Durr, Tomas Howlin, and Hsueh-tze Lee, come to mind. It will be a culture shock of epic proportions. No lines at the airport, no traffic in the town, no restaurants open on Sunday, and no Wal-Mart. But, everyone says hello, and you can see the stars at night. So you come too, take a chance. You won't be disappointed. Offering 4 classes with Gustavo and Maria during the festival Sept 17-20, and privates available from Wed night through Monday night. Then, they leave the quiet, and I pass them on to Ray in Chicago. Charles Roques is also still going through culture shock, after moving here in Feb from NYC. He has invited Ellen Chrystal here to help him teach a milonga class. His Vals classes are assisted by local, Shauna Smith, his student of 7 months. Her beautiful dancing reveals Charles' teaching. James Smith and Mariallan Shadle of Memphis round out the staff with their track for beginners. Love their titles: "Walk The Line", "In the Mood, In the Music," and "The Big Squeeze". We share the square with over 50 booths of artists selling their work on Sat Sept 19. We perform for them that evening in the park with the Tulsa Tango Orchestra.

Message-ID: <95A565E051AC45B18F2E5DA1952615AD@laptop4018c244> Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of Tango, Grisha and me are very excited to offer you a unique and special class. Musicality is not really the right word to describe it, although it is entirely about music and movement. This is our first time offering this class and we hope that it will open an entirely new world of Argentine Tango for you, a world where movements of any complexity come easily and where music helps you love the way you dance your tango. This material is new and, to our knowledge, has never been presented by anyone else anywhere or in any form, similar or not. It is based on our own discoveries and experimentation. Most of you are skilled at dancing with the music and even inside the music. What we will present in this class is a much different materal. This class is about CREATING music through movement. It also includes the technical precision that shows how, through movement, you can create another layer to the music. This material will change the way you hear music and the way you experience yourself and your partners. It is is for both men and women, because both are important contributors to this way of dancing. Because Grisha is unique in the world of Argentine tango - a master musician (many videos are on Youtube) and teacher, in addition to being an extraordinary dancer - and because I am fascinated by the precision of dance technique, tango music and the development of a dancer, together we have created a new approach to teaching that will transform your dance experience. We believe that we can convey this material to you successfully so that it becomes yours to dance. What: Musicality Master Class with Gregory ("Grisha") Nisnevich & Nina Pesochinsky When: Saturday, September 26, 2009, 4-6PM. Where: Consulate Healing Center, 750 E. 9th Ave, Suite 210, Denver, CO 80203 Cost: $25 Registration deadline: Friday, September 25, 2009. We encourage you to register early because we would like the class to be gender balanced. Due to space limitation, this class is limited to 20 dancers (you will be dancing and we will need every inch of the space that is available). At this time, it is open only to Intermediate and Advanced dancers. You do not need to bring your own partner, unless you wish to do so. We simply need to hear from you early enough to be able to gender balance the class. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Grisha (gren at gren-music.com, 303-306-7337) if we can answer any questions. If you would like to register, please send me an e-mail and I will send you the registration form. Thank you, dancers, for all of the support and enthusiasm that you have shown us over the years. Working with you, sharing the dance with you every day has thought us many invaluable and beautiful things. With deep grattitude, we are looking forward to sharing with you our new discoveries in music and dance. Our warmest regards to every one of you, Nina & Grisha 720-434-4342 303-306-7337 You may find Grisha and Nina at www.tangoledanza.com or on Facebook.

Paula & Mariano dance a particular and unmistakable style of dancing while using innovative teaching methods to accelerate the process of learning the dance. Breaking out from rigid sequences,t heir workshops provide ways to develop improvisational skills through the use of simple and dynamic exercises which leads the students to explore ways to develop an easy, relaxed style of dancing Tango. The communication takes place between the dancers through the use of connection of their bodies. Both are excellent teachers, very patient, thorough and accessible, and you will enjoy learning their elegant style which you can incorporate into your own. See www.paulaguriniymarianobielak.blogspot.com This couple is returning for the second time to the South Jersey/ Philadelphia by popular demand.

They will be in Chicago from October 29-November 5 and will do a weekend of workshops on October31 and November 1.10% discount for registrations and payments before September 30, 2009. They will also be available for private lessons during their stay. 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: <013e01ca32b2$f7018580$e5049080$@net> Dear Tango Aficionados, The secret is out! Many people were initially surprised to hear that Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne wanted to offer a seminar entitled "Tango Milonguero" - many rumors and myths surrounding the contemporary history of tango's development seemed to suggest to some observers that this was not the most likely pairing of teachers & subject! Those happy tango dancers who are now almost finished with the Boulder world premiere debut of G&G's "Tango Milonguero" seminar know better. But shattering these myths is a very minor part of the experience of this unique tango training opportunity. The primary experiences of taking the seminar are familiar to those who have worked with G&G before: amazement, delight, and grateful appreciation. Not only is the seminar richly endowed with Gustavo's wealth of personal knowledge of many of the founders, locations, events and trends that make up what is now called "Tango Milonguero" (it was called something else twenty years ago) - but Gustavo & Giselle's penetrating analysis of the technique variations involved, the personalities and fashions that emerged in the ebb and flow of its development, combined with deep awareness of the vocabulary choices available, finely honed awareness of the stylistic and cultural nuances of tango milonguero, and heartrendingly beautiful portrayals of the dance itself, create a powerfully fulfilling voyage of discovery for even the most seasoned social tango aficionado. We know the European tango dancers who are next in line for this seminar are anxiously awaiting their own chance to immerse themselves in this experience. But if you want to experience for yourself all the myth-shattering excitement of this material, you still have a chance - several chances in fact! WHAT: Gran Milonga and Performance with Gustavo & Giselle (Intro lesson with Dance of the Heart's Deb Sclar & Brian Dunn) WHEN: Saturday, September 12, 7:30-8:30 Intro Lesson, 8:30-1am Milonga (G&G performance shortly after 9pm) WHERE: Avalon Ballroom, 6185 Arapahoe, Boulder WHO: Gustavo Naveira, Giselle Anne, Dance of the Heart staff, and YOU! HOW MUCH: A "community-building" bargain at only $15!! (student discounts available). Tell your friends - THIS is the tango! == For those of you just starting with tango, join us for an introductory tango lesson at 7:30pm. Deb and Brian of Dance of the Heart will be offering a beginner's sampling of the delights available to more advanced dancers ready to work with Gustavo and Giselle at the level of their seminars. Then, settle back and enjoy our Gran Milonga starting at 8:30pm, leading up to a majestic performance by Gustavo & Giselle shortly after 9pm. Following the performance, social dancing will continue until 1am or so, with the DJ duties being split between Gustavo and Dance of the Heart host Brian Dunn. Those of you who joined us for our welcome Milonga know firsthand the joy of having Gustavo as DJ, even if he does have to take time out to perform in the middle of the event! WHAT: "Tango Milonguero" A-La-Carte Workshops (Partner not required) WHEN: Sunday, September 13, 1:30pm-3pm ("Milonguero Embrace") and 3:15-4:45pm ("Ocho Cortado") Monday, September 14, 6:30pm-8pm ("Milonguero Turns") and 8:15-9:45pm ("Musicality, Feeling, and Navigation") WHERE: Avalon Ballroom, 6185 Arapahoe, Boulder WHO: Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Dance of the Heart staff, and YOU! HOW MUCH: $30/class (student discounts available) == Experience for yourself some highlights of the week-long couples-only "Tango Milonguero" seminar - your tango dancing may never be the same! Nobody else combines the historical awareness, technical sophistication, teaching mastery, and gorgeous dancing of this peerless tango couple. We'll have practica time available after the classes for attendees to enhance their experience of the material. == Complete descriptions of the classes are online at http://www.danceoftheheart.com/CTE2009Main.htm#workshop. PayPal credit card purchases available at the same location, cash & checks accepted at the door. No partner needed - but bring your favorites so you can practice together later!

Helen "La Vikinga" has been teaching tango since 1992 in Sweden, and since 2005 in Buenos Aires. Helen works with the Argentinian tango as a dance, as an expression, but most of all as a communication and as a connection to the other, both in the leader and in the follower role. Helen teaches from traditional tango to "queer" tango and everything in between. The most important is to be able to communicate to the other and enjoy the TANGO! She started early to dance both roles in the tango and became well known as La Vikinga at the traditional milongas in Buenos Aires for dancing the 'man?s" role. Helen has been organizing in Sweden, the milonga Libertango and in Buenos Aires the milongas La Vikinga (one of the first alternative milongas in Bs As), Italia Unita, Bien Pulenta and Mano a Mano (open minded traditional milonga). In her own tango school, Escuela La Vikinga, she teaches both group and private tango & milonga lessons alone or with Javier Guiraldi. Beside dancing and organizing tango Helen designs and produces La Vikinga Shoes and Sneakers. PERFORMANCE WITH La Vikinga & Lexa!

They will be in Chicago from October 29-November 5 and will do a weekend of workshops on October 31 and November 1. A 10% discount for registrations and payments before September 30, 2009. 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. For further information you can contact them at info at tangosalon.com.ar, or visit their website: www.tangosalon.com.ar.

The internationally-known tanguera Helen Halld?rsd?ttir comes to Chicago for the 1st time September 20-28. Though she?s proven her mettle as a dancer of note - her Buenos Aires milonga, or dance party, is listed as a nightlife standout in the New York Times - her specialty is breaking down the traditional boundaries of partner dancing by teaching a tango in which anyone can lead, anyone can follow and your partner doesn?t even have to be of the opposite sex. ?I had been dancing most of my life,? Halld?rsd?ttir - who goes by La Vikinga, an affectionate nickname given her by Buenos Aires locals unaccustomed to an Icelandic blonde dancing their dance - explains of her own introduction to tango. But initially, ?to give some man permission to lead was almost too much for me.? But as her fascination with tango music blossomed, she says, she felt compelled to learn the dance that accompanied it. ?Once I understood that you can enjoy following and that you can take it as more of an invitation I started to see the fun of it.? Several years later, and after relocating permanently to Argentina, La Vikinga?s focus is on encouraging than as rules you have to obey, everyone to dance, whether as leaders, followers or both. As a performer, she herself is known for working with men and women alike as well as switching roles, even in the middle of a dance - something that?s not traditionally done in the passionate, strongly gendered world of tango. ?When I started to lead at the milongas in Buenos Aires four or five years ago, that wasn?t common,? La Vikinga still not so common here yet, but you can see more and more where awoman can lead a man or dance with another woman.? This is the spirit she hopes to convey with this series of workshops - that newcomers and experienced dancers, couples and singles, straight or gay, are all welcome on the dancefloor. ?You don?t have to be gay to like to be led by, or to lead, the same sex,? La Vikinga says. ?There?s this term ?queer tango? that you hear in Buenos Aires, but it?s not just gay people that are dancing it. You may have more fun leading or more fun following, but everyone can dance and have fun. That?s the most important thing.? And in the end, no matter who you tango with, it?s about connecting with your partner and the music. In fact, that?s what keeps both new and experienced dancers coming back for more: ?It?s what?s called a ?tango moment? - a flash of heaven where the music ends and you don?t want to let go. You?re in a crowd of people and everybody else disappears, time disappears ? the only important thing is the music and the embrace. It?s a three-minute love affair.? courtesy JessicaSchilling of Iowa tango community Watch Helen dancing ? following and leading: http://www.facebook.com/video/?of=542986247? link to Helen?svideos on facebook, including http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=128243006247&ref=nf ? with Jorge Torres and,on YouTube, these plus others: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftznWWJz6NI&feature=PlayList&p=7E68FB9419BAA7EF&index=1? switching leads while dancing milonga http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu4d49r-1Ac&feature=PlayList&p=7E68FB9419BAA7EF&index=2 ? at Ideal to live music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XBbB6hFNw0? chacarera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG163hXCHJQ&feature=related? another milonga http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UFoW9oK3wE&feature=related? another Ideal to live music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTX10ofC-cM? very sexy at La Marshall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4ayFkdox-0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ku1PACEuJ4&feature=PlayList&p=7E68FB9419BAA7EF&index=0&playnext=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu4d49r-1Ac&feature=PlayList&p=7E68FB9419BAA7EF&index=2 To receive additional information about this event or instructor ? including individual pricing and opportunities for other (e.g., travel) discounts ? email WindyCityTango at yahoo.com or call / text Phoebe J Grant at 312-60TANGO (312-608-2646) From andrea at kettlebellfitness.com Tue Sep 22 11:14:14 2009 From: andrea at kettlebellfitness.com (Andrea DuCane) Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:14:14 -0500 Subject: [Tango-A] Daniela & Luis Worskhop Oct. 23 - 25 Minneapolis Message-ID: <4AB8E9C6.9000101@kettlebellfitness.com> Hello Fellow Tangueros, We have the schedule worked out. I will soon have flyers and registration forms which you will be able to pick up at Four Seasons or download from my website, www.kettlebellfitness.com. Due to the incredible popularity of the "Bootcamp" structure we have decided to do that again. It is a great way for people to really go deep with certain elements of the dance - whether a specific technique, a style or theme. This year we will be having 2 Bootcamps! Saturday will be all TURNS! Not your grandmothers turns, but using extreme dissociation. Sunday ... yes ..... you asked for it VOLCADA. How the bootcamp works is simple, it starts out with the basic elements that allows dancers to build the foundation to move on to more complex and difficult material. Therefore, the first class on both days is open beginners, the 2nd class will be more challenging and the last class is geared toward experienced dancers. However, you must take the first 2 classes to take the last class. Even if you are an experienced dancer, you will need to attend the first two classes to be familar and prepared for their advance class. They will be building on their technique and material. There is also an All levels class on Friday before the milonga. I highly encourage everyone to come and get their first taste of Daniela and Luis. They are remarkable dancers and fantastic teachers as well as ... just plain FUN people! All classes are held at Four Seasons Dance Studio, 1637 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403. Below is the class information, their bios and a couple links to YouTube (you can find much more). *Friday: Achieving Fluidity of Movement *Note: Friday's class is separate from the workshop, it is $20 and includes admission to the milonga following class. There will be a performance around 11:00. *Saturday: Extreme Dissociation Bootcamp* 1) Pivot and Turn Technique 2) Turns for Tiny Spaces 3) Complex Turns with Sacadas *Sunday: Volcada Bootcamp* 1) All Secrets of Volcada Technique 2) Milonguero and Nuevo Style Volcadas: Small, Big, Reverse and More 3) Challenging Combinations! (or Volcada/Colgada Combinations) About Daniela & Luis LUIS and DANIELA's tango is best described as joyful and heartfelt, and characterized by its musicality, fluid dynamics, and incorporation of traditional and nuevo tango elements within the embrace. Dancing together since 2006, they have quickly become known for their connection, approachability and infectious energy. Their ultimate goal as teachers is to help students move better, achieve greater depth of connection, and find their own voice in the dance. Students in their classes can expect a wealth of information on tango technique with unique focus on body awareness, encouragement to push boundaries, lots of personalized feedback, and a healthy dose of humor to complement the mix. Born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, Luis started dancing tango in 1994 and became a professional dancer in 1997. He taught and performed for several years in Buenos Aires before tango took him to Brazil, Europe and North America. Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Daniela came to tango from a background in science and engineering. She started dancing tango in 1999 and brings lifelong training in music to the partnership. Together, Daniela and Luis have taught and performed throughout the U.S., in Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Poland, including several major festivals.

Video of Gustavo & Maria dancing at Salon Canning in Buenos Aires: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjiktLyXBzM&feature=channel_page Video of Gustavo & Maria dancing at ValenTango in Portland, OR (watch the fast & fancy footwork!!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajwefTqCalM&feature=channel_page Biography: Both as teachers and performers, Gustavo and Maria are rising stars in the world of tango salon. 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.

But rest assured, those of you who can make it are gonna have a BLAST with us!

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".

The theme is Milonguero Techniques: how to dance in small spaces, dancing with turns and respecting the line of dance. RAUL CABRAL, a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a dedicated teacher, a cultural envoy, and an exquisite dancer of improvisational social tango, Tango Milonguero. The essence of his art and teaching is to develop the competence of each student through amplified awareness of musical rhythm and natural body movement. Dedicated to a non-choreographic methodology, both leader and follower learn to enrich the quality of their dance by learning to move correctly but freely, while expressing attention and sensitivity toward their partner. He makes the execution of this very complicated dance form seem easy utilizing a simple but detailed breakdown of movement techniques, balance and floor-craft. Known as ?The Doctor?, Cabral guides the dancer, at any level, to discover and heighten their awareness of self and to expand their ability and confidence to dance on the social floor. A renown maestro de Tango for over 18 years, Raul Cabral has taught and shared his art and pedagogy with over 60 international tango professors who have made the pilgrimage to Buenos Aires to learn his methodology. Hundreds of his students are currently dancing in milongas worldwide. He has given workshops and participated in festivals in Brazil, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, France and Argentina, and is a member of long standing of the Asociaci?n de Maestros y Core?grafos de Tango Argentino, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Message-ID: <00d801ca4163$d9bbc610$8d335230$@net> Dear Tango Aficionados, Are you a leader visiting Buenos Aires soon? Are you looking to improve your tango rapidly with an intensive tango training experience through top-notch instruction, dancing for twenty-five hours a week with a great group of talented young Argentine followers? We have two spots FOR LEADERS ONLY suddenly available in our previously sold-out TangoIntensivo ?A? Session, running from Monday October 19th through Saturday October 25th in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires (sorry, but the "B" session is still completely sold out). Now in their fifth consecutive year, the acclaimed TangoIntensivo? sessions have proven their worth many times over to the students who return time and time again to get the unbeatable combination of a week of intensive dancing and training in Buenos Aires under the peerless guidance of world-renowned tango maestra LUCIANA VALLE and our dedicated staff of TangoIntensivo? assistants. One of the special things about this program is our maestra, Luciana Valle. Known affectionately as "Hurricane Lucy" for her seemingly endless supply of energy, warmth, and penetrating insight into the core of tango training, she has developed a worldwide reputation for stellar teaching in both the leader and follower roles. Her frequent tours of North America and Europe have won her legions of dedicated fans. Come find out why so many people treasure their time working with Luciana as some of the best investments they can make in their tango development! The other special thing about this program is that YOU ARE ALWAYS DANCING WITH OUR STAFF. We work with Luciana to get a select team of excellent dancers from within the Buenos Aires tango community who stand out due to their high skill level and interest in working professionally with visiting dancers. For twenty-five hours in six days, find out what it is like to take your tango to the next level with a great group of tango partners! Only word-of-mouth advertising from very happy customers brought us from nothing to a steady stream of sold-out programs in less than five years. We?re satisfied to let our customers speak for us: "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." "...what an AWESOME TangoIntensivo? session...I feel privileged to be a part of this historical occasion...don't ask me why it feels that way, but what the 3 of you put together was just incredible. Especially wonderful was the opportunity to work with Argentine dancers [as followers], the meticulous care & timing with which all the classes were designed & the quality of the material offered." "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." Price for the instruction, the guided practicas, and your participation in the rotation among the staff is US$725. Complete information about the program, including online credit card payment through PayPal, is available on our website at http://www.danceoftheheart.com/Intensivo2009.htm.
