...Evening Workshops, Milonga and Performances.

Ernest Williams first discovered Tango in 2000. With Argentina's Fernando
Filipelli as his instructor, it quickly became a lifestyle. While living in
Hawaii in 2002, Ernest began teaching tango formally at the request of fellow
dancers who recognized his ability to translate the more difficult concepts.
Since 2003, Ernest has traveled nationally and internationally gathering a
wealth of knowledge and experience in the world of dance from various sources.
He has conducted workshops, seminars and/or dance exhibitions in numerous
cities. His focus in teaching is primarily milonguero, canyengue and canyenguero
(milonguero infused with canyengue).

3:15 to 4:30PM Canyengue- Beginning Canyengue for the Tango Dancer. $25 per
lesson
Learn this fun and funky style of tango that uses the whole body and has existed
since the late 1800's. It's charismatic personality, with bent knees and cool
body undulations, is perfect for dancing to old guard music such as Canaro and
Orquesta Tipica Victor and newer orchestras like Tuba Tango and Punta y Taco.

4:30 to 5:45 PM Milonga con Traspie- Cool Concepts in Traspie
$25.00 per lesson
Milonga is a fun and upbeat style of tango that moves fast compared to tango.
Add a double time step to it's already faster rhythm and you get traspie. Hold
on to your dancing shoes because you will learn some movements that will get
your feet moving in overdrive.

The 3:4 time signature of the tango waltz music makes us feel like we are

to create other rhythms with your feet that work perfectly within the beat of
the music
