Next Weekend

Workshops, March 16 & 17 at ArTango

Brigitta Winkler will be in Chicago for the first time next week from March 14-19, 2013 and will do a weekend of workshops on March 16 and 17 at ArTango, 4203 N. Ravenswood, Chicago. We will also have a special milonga with Brigitta Winkler on Saturday, March 16th from 9:30 pm - 1:30 am at Chicago Dance, 415 W. Huron, Chicago.

We have structured the classes for the intermediate and advanced dancer.  You can sign up with a partner or as individual if you take the full 6 class package which includes the milonga on Saturday evening, or purchase a full day pass.  We will attempt to gender balance the enrollment so that you can find a partner during the workshops.  People that sign up for an individual class will need to sign up with a partner.

Brigitta Winkler will be available for private lessons during her stay from March 14-19. Please email Ray Barbosa at chicagomilonguero at yahoo.com if you are interested in attending her workshops or are interested in taking a private lesson.

Biography
Brigitta Winkler currently divides her time between New York and Berlin.  She studied ballet and modern dance for many years.  In 1980, her life changed when she discovered Argentine Tango.  She then spent some years in Paris studying with Virulazo, a star of Argentine Tango.   Her first stage appearance was in 1986 in Montreal’s Tangoshow.

Brigitta teaches at festivals in the USA, Germany, Italy and Russia.  In 1987 she opened Tanzart in Berlin, which then became Phynixtanzt, her school in Berlin.  She studied intensively in the early 1980s in Buenos Aires with such noted dancers as Juan Carlos Copes, Antonio Todaro, Pepito, Gustavo Naveira, and Eduardo Arquimbau, among others.  Brigitta studied Authentic Movement and incorporates a four-year program of Body Mind Centering into her approach.  She is also the co-founder of the internationally acclaimed, all woman dance company, Tangomujer.
