<IMG src="July%2029th%20Workshop_files/shapeimage_1.png" alt="About Ernest Williams
Ernest Williams is an Argentine Tango instructor currently based in Chicago.
A native of Philadelphia, Ernest grew up around mostly R&B and Hip Hop music
and dance before finding Argentine Tango.
Although Ernest’s Tango style is self developed, it can be best described as a specialty in Canyengue, milonga candombera and nuevo milonguero. He works from an improvisational technique that draws from various dance/movement forms such as salsa, Cuban rumba, hip hop, swing, Chicago Style Stepping, candombe, yoga, and ballroom to name a few. Ernest incorporates various forms of Tango in his style rooted with a strong sense of musicality.
Ernest has conducted workshops and seminars in many U.S. cities, and has also taught several intensive tango and milonga seminars in Montevideo, Uruguay; and Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is a recent graduate of the “Master para Maestros” por La Escuela Argentina del Tango (Masters for Teachers at the School of Argentine Tango) program in July 2005 located in Buenos Aires, Ernest’s teaching is clear, detailed, exploratory and contextual in nature, thus he is dedicated to finding and communicating the answers to the hard questions." title="" id="id1" style="height: 507px; margin-left: 33px; margin-top: 919px; position: relative; width: 338px; z-index: 1; ">

Although only sparsely practiced in Argentina, Candombe is still actively practiced today in Uruguay in weekly gatherings, special events and especially in the grand Carnival celebrations of Montevideo. In the tenements and countryside along both sides of the Rio de la Plata (river that separates Uruguay and Argentina) freed slaves, poor European immigrants and Cuban visitors combined their cultures and created what eventually became the milonga and tango.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3px; line-height: 15.2px; "></SPAN></DIV>

This is the early version of tango and had many Afro-Argentines considered to be amongst its greatest dancers. It is characterized mainly by its “cortes y quebradas” or sudden stops and bent posture. Many famous band leaders such as Francisco Canaro and Roberto Firpo played tangos in the early 1900’s in a very rhythmic style making the tango “swing”. This was the main method of dancing tango before tango took Paris by storm after 1914. Canyengue is now enjoying a resurgence in interest among tango dancers and will soon be regularly danced around the world.</DIV>
