STARTING THIS FRIDAY and continuing through Friday, September 25, please
join us for our special Mercury Café TangoConnection Express 2009 Edition
classes - shortened versions of our popular, on-going
TangoConnection 2009 edition Boulder-based classes. Well cover much of
the material we deliver in our seven regular Boulder 2009 Edition class
sessions, but the Merc classes provide an opportunity to receive these
classes at the fabulous bargain price of $5 per class! ($10 for both classes
in a given Friday night session).
These tango classes are designed to let you join AT ANY TIME EVERY class
is a suitable starting point! Now in its third major revision, in the
TangoConnection class curriculum, we approach the
fundamentals of tango from seven distinct perspectives.
We name each perspective after a well-known tango
orchestra to highlight the non-hierarchical relationship between the
sessions while providing students with fascinating cultural, historical and
musical contexts to increase your enjoyment and pleasure in the music and
movement. Once you take the 6:30pm fundamentals class on any given Friday,
you'll have the foundation necessary to effectively participate in the
7:45pm class that same night, which works the same perspective at a deeper
level.
No matter WHICH session you choose in August and/or September, youll emerge
with something youll be able to use in your tango from then on:
Youll have an awareness and experience of the fundamental tango
connection and how to cultivate it in your tango dancing;
Youll understand the structural fundamentals of Tango Theory 101 and how
to use it in executing and designing your own individual tango;
Youll clearly understand how a particular nights perspective on tango fits
within the range of possible tango experiences.
A note about our staff: We are thrilled to be able to offer you the most
well-trained tango teaching staff in the known universe! (Well, OK, at least
in Colorado). The members of our Colorado staff (listed above) have
manifested an incredible collective commitment to mastering tango. As a
group, they have collectively attended FIFTY-SIX week-long advanced seminars
with world-class tango teachers since 2003!
If youre able to attend ALL SEVEN Friday nights in August and September,
youll get an Express Edition exposure to the foundations of tango that is
unavailable anywhere else and at an INCREDIBLE bargain price! If youre
feeling stuck in your tango development, this rediscovery may be just
what you need to get to your next level. If youve taken tango lessons from
other teachers, you may be surprised how effectively we can embrace and
extend whatever youve already learned from them by placing your current
level of mastery within a larger tango context that offers you new ideas to
explore in your dance.
See you Friday in class at the Merc!
Abrazos,
Brian Dunn & Deb Sclar
