This is a repeat message posted originally Friday 12/3 Some very good late-breaking news for those in the New York City area or those planning to be here the weekend of Fri. Dec. 10 - Sun. Dec.12. Danel & Maria will be sponsoring workshops by Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida on Friday and Saturday nights, Dec 10 and 11. For those of you who are growing a little tired of the "nuevo tango" acrobatics this is a chance to see classic performance tango with precision and elegance. Osvaldo and his brother Miguel are considered by many to be the greatest living male tango dancers and Maria says that Osvaldo and Lorena are evolving into one of the great tango couples. They are in town on a promotion tour for Julio Iglesias' Tango album at a private function at Lincoln Center and have agreed to do some workshops while here. This is a great opportunity and a bargain as well.
On Friday Dec. 10 they will be at the Mt Vernon West train station in Westchester County (there is a dance hall upstairs), 20 minutes from Grand Central Station. Intermediate Workshop - 7:30 - 9:30 with a practice after. Please call 718-325-6579 for more info and prices. But the real bargain is on Saturday Dec.11. They will be giving workshops at the Sandra Cameron Dance Center, 20 Cooper Sq. near E. 5th St. and Astor Place. 6:00 - 6:55 Beg/Int Tango 7:00 - 7:55 Int/Adv Tango 8:00 - 8:55 Int/Adv Waltz One workshop -$20. Two workshops - $35. Three workshops - $45. Afterwards they will perform at Danel & Maria's "Bailemos Tango" Milonga (same location)- 9:30 PM - 2:00 AM (or later) which will also feature live music by Raul Jaurena and the New York Tango Trio for $15. (Coat and tie, please) Sorry no videos. There are also a lot of very good tango dancers at their milongas, many of our Argentine friends attend, and some of the cast of Tango Argentino usually stop by after the show. Please come and join us. I have no financial interest in this affair, I'm just very excited and pleased to inform you about it. Please call Sandra Cameron Dance Center at 212-674-0505 to register or 718-325-6579 for more information. Also please feel free to contact me with any questions. Sorry to post this at the last minute but they only called Danel & Maria last Wednesday to tell them they would be in town. Hope to see some of you there. Cheers, Charles Roques
