WHEN: Friday Aug & Sept '09 6:30pm Fundamentals ($5) 7:45pm Continuing ($5) 9pm Milonga (cover charge varies) WHERE: Mercury Café 22nd & California, Denver www.mercurycafe.com COST: $5 per class $10 per 2-class session 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 Dance of the Heart http://www.danceoftheheart.com Building a Better World, One Tango at a Time (TATC)
