Fabian Salas & Lola Diaz
Improve your understanding of Argentine Tango and bring your dancing and
teaching to a superior level within one week
Fabián Salas and Lola Diaz are back again to La Rogaia, one of the few
places in Europe, where they will give a workshop in 2012.
About Fabián Salas:
Sometimes when you speak about one of the great masters of Argentine Tango,
you take it for granted that everybody already knows everything about him .
But nevertheless it might make sense to tell you a little bit about
Fabian :
During the " Golden Age " Tango had been danced everywhere in Buenos Aires
und you learnt to dance Tango watching your parents or other dancers from
your town quarter.
This happened completely naturally. Everybody watched and imitated the good
dancers
and practiced. Oppurtunities to do so you were to be found
everywhere. Nobody had to think about teaching methods or didactics.
Fast forward to the 80ies. After the end of the military dictatorship in
Argentina the Tango scene had changed completely. Only a few dancers
remained who had lived the Golden Age and could pass on their knowledge.
Most of them are excellent dancers, but they had hardly ever wasted a
thought on how to teach Tango efficiently.
A group of young dancers around Fabian Salas and Gustavo Naveira tried to
figure out, how the old milongueros danced. They tried to get a profound
understanding how the movements and dynamics of the dance work . For the
first time they developed a didactically based teaching method. This method
until today has a big impact on all Tango dancers, no matter whether they
dance traditional Tango or Tango Nuevo.
But they did not stop at that point. With their in depth knowledge of the
dynamics of Tango they broke with the old, sometimes rigid conventions
and developped a new way of dancing Tango, more open, more fluently .
And they started to dance to music, which hadn´t been considered danceable
until then, for example the music of Astor Piazzola.
Fabián Salas became world famous as one of the main characters of Sally
Potter´s Tango movie The Tango Lesson, together with Gustavo Naveira and
Pablo Veron.
To learn from Fabián Salas and Lola Diaz in a small, intimate group is more
than simply taking Tango lessons. It is a unique privilege .
If you truly want to improve your tango dancing to a superior level this
workshop with Fabián and Lola is a must for you
This is your unique opportunity to learn Tango Nuevo from one of its
founders.
For advanced level dancers only !
Availability for one couple and one lady without dance partner !
