If you ever wanted to know anything about dancing tango in milongas in
Buenos Aires, you should set this time aside to hear about it from someone
who REALLY knows what they are talking about!  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
