La Rogaia Tango Holidays 2003 http://www.tango-holidays.com
May 3 - 10, 2003 Tango Workshop with Alberto Paz & Valorie Hart at Villa La Rogaia in Umbria/ Italy, between Florence and Rome Availability for a single woman and one more couple (intermediate level) The teachers: Alberto Paz grew up in the streets of Buenos Aires and now lives and works in New Orleans. Together with his partner, the New York artist Valorie Hart, he has earned a solid reputation for a conceptually clear method of instruction. Alberto is teacher as well as writer, historian and lecturer on Argentine Tango. He publishes "El Firulete, The Argentine Tango Magazine". Alberto & Valorie have mainly studied with Mingo Pugliese and teach the traditional and authentic concept of improvisation: "Lead and follow imply we are doing something we both know. But the moment you are improvising, you can't lead or follow. The woman moves first, the man responds and creates the space for her to dance." For further informations about the teachers see http://www.planet-tango.com Themes of the workshop: A DANCE MAKE OVER FROM HEAD TO TOE - All ROADS lead to tango (Knowing where to go around the floor and getting there). A primer on direction changes while moving into the line of dance. - Making the RIGHT choices (choosing the right places to take your partner for a spin). A primer on changes of direction that result in right hand turns. - Don't be LEFT behind (exploring the left side of the Tango). A primer on changes of direction that result in left hand turns. - Taking the TIME to smell the roses (the thorny concept of stopping to dance).
