Hi, I am hosting Tete Rusconi and Silvia Ceriani in Minneapolis from
August 7th to August 14th this year.
Tete is known for his unique musicality and effortless creativity. Many
important teachers have themselves studied extensively with him, to the
point where his influence on Argentine tango has become pervasive. For
instance, the Nuevo Tango concept of "change of direction" is a creative
space that he began exploring decades before the words "Nuevo" and
"Tango" were ever spoken in sequence.
Tete is one of the last of his breed, a self-taught dancer transplanted
from the Golden Age of tango that excites the admiration of todays great
professional dancers, and many people consider him a grandfather to all
of us in tango, for his creative discoveries, the twinkle in his eye and
sense of humor, and his generous willingness to share what he knows.
Because his musicality is a deep part of his creativity, Silvia and I
have worked very hard to create a workshop program that gives him the
opportunity to pass on some of his knowledge in this area. And to help
as many people to take as many of his classes as they can, I have added
some generous incentives for participation:
-- a 50% discount for full time students
-- a significant discount for early workshop payment
-- I will pay the attendance at the TSoM milonga for persons taking 4
or more classes in the workshop, where Silvia Ceriani will DJ*
Tete is a living national treasure of Argentina, and every chance to
study tango with him is an opportunity of historic proportions. Please
help me make this event a success, so we can have him back as many
times as we are able.
*Silvia is a prominent Buenos Aires DJ, she has been doing the music for
the Parakultural milonga at Salón Canning for years.
