Only one week to go before Natalia y Gabriel arrive for their first visit to the Triangle! In addition to teaching 12 full hours of workshops, they'll be providing a special performance on Saturday Sept 30th at El Chilango! These wonderful dancers have toured with Tangox2 for 8 years, and teach regularly in Buenos Aires and Europe. They also taught previously at the US Tango Congress in Miami. You can learn a little more about them here http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/Stage/6854/ . There are a couple of things I want to point out about the schedule that make it a little different than workshops you may have attended in the past. 1. Each day will have 4 workshops of 1.5 hours each. That's 6 hours per day, 12 total. To accomodate the amount of time, I've tried to compress the schedules while providing breaks. Each day is divided into 2 classes, then lunch, followed by 2 more classes. 2. I've put the more complicated material earlier in the schedule with the more general material later. The intent is that the material may get easier as you get more tired. 3. The weekend is primarily int/advanced, with only 3 general level workshops available. These are scheduled at the end of the day on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday's last two classes are General Technique and Musicality, wrapping up at 6:30. This should make it easy for people (especially the newer dancers) to attend workshops and then stay for the Triangle Tangueros practica (at 7) to work on what they've learned. 4. The Int/Adv Tango figures and the Milonga de traspie classes are broken up over the two days. I expect that the 2nd parts will build on the 1st part, but I don't know how much overlap there'll be. Here's the schedule. Friday, Sept 29 7:30-10:00 Practica Saturday, Sept 30 10:30-12:00 Int/Adv: Amagues, sacadas, voleos y arrastres 12:00-1:30 Int/Adv: Milonga de traspie y Contratiempos 1 1:30-2:45 Lunch 3:00-4:30 Int/Adv: Vals: Enrosques y Giros avanzados 4:45-6:15 All: Embellishments Saturday Night at El Chilango 8:45-9:45pm Free Introductory Workshop (by Jason Laughlin) 10pm-12:00 Performance and Milonga!!!
