"The theory and practice of Tango Nuevo" with Fabian Salas
A 4-day Comprehensive Tango Workshop Los Angeles Oct. 28 - Oct. 31, 1999 The anticipated follow-up to 'Chicho & Cecilia's Workshop' In a continuing series of tango courses Fabian Salas together with Gustavo Naveira have changed the way tango is danced and taught. They have brought together a more analytical, and ultimately more intuitive approach, with the improvisational, nature of tango. This fusion has led to a creative and fluid way of dancing. And they have done it without sacrificing any of its spirit, history or feeling. It is therefore, no exaggeration when teachers call them the "teachers to the teachers". Fabian has (with Gustavo) created a "tango think-tank", a study group that has spawned and nurtured some of the most creative and stunning dancers/improvisers today (including Pablo Veron, Chicho, Cecilia, Omar Vega, amongst others). He is also the organizer of the annual International Tango Congress (CITA) in Buenos Aires, arguably the most important gathering of tango teachers in the world. Here you have a great opportunity to study and learn from this master, a dynamic, creative and systematic approach to tango, that could change the way you dance. What some have called "tango nuevo", or "a thinking person's tango". This series of classes with Fabian Salas is the follow-up to the very popular and highly successful workshop with Chicho & Cecilia, another intensive course in a continuing series of master classes bringing you some of the great teachers of Argentina. The 4-day workshop is structured in a progressive way that will take uninitiated and experienced alike, from the structure and fundamentals of the dance, through the more advanced and intricate movements, rhythms, and techniques. These classes are designed to build on the previous class. For the more experienced, there will be special classes designed with them in mind. The 20 hours of focused classes represents an affordable and valuable alternative for those unable to attend the Tango Congress in Bs.As., or other Tango weeks in other parts of the US: come to four fun-filled, challenging days of tango instruction that will make you a better practitioner of this most sensual, and addictive form of personal expression.
