We're doing it again. Our last two Fandango de Tangos were an absolute blast. People are still saying wonderful things about them. Again, we're bringing you a special opportunity to learn from the best! We've brought together the TWO MOST INFLUENTIAL Tango Masters in history of Argentine Tango in Austin, TX. These two teachers have a played a special role in developing the community of dancers in Austin, and as many of you know, all over the U.S.A. They are refined, intuitive, exciting, and best of all, FUN to learn from. Their enthusiasm, energy, and innate ability to teach you to Tango will touch your heart, and your feet. We've put together 5 wonderful days of classes that will show you everything from the structure and development of the Tango, to some of the most intricate and sophisticated components Tango has to offer. In addition, we have 1 practica, 3 Milongas, and lots of practice time between classes. The classes are not for novice Tango dancers. Although our staff are marvelous teachers of Tango at any level, we are planning all the classes at an Intermediate, or, Advanced level. We do want to clarify, however, that all the moves taught will start off with the fundamental techniques required to accomplish the movements. So come out and learn, dance, socialize, and enjoy, the dance called Tango. (*NOTE: A lot of interest has been developing for these workshops, SO SIGN UP SOON!) REMEMBER, NO PARTNERS ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY OF OUR EVENTS! Our fun-filled learning extravaganza includes lots of opportunity to practice and dance. We will be having some of the best Tango Dance Parties Friday & Saturday night (Sat. the teachers will be performing!) Don't miss our Texas Tango Brunch where you can eat, drink dance and enjoy more performances by our staff. It has been a wonderful year of Tango at Learn to Dance Austin, and we are proud to cap it off with such a great event. Please note our "Early Bird" Packages available if you register by Nov. 9th. About the Argentine Tango Instructors Pablo Pugliese, along with his mother, Esther, has taught all over the world. The Pugliese family of Tango dancers is revered in the Tango world. Their ability to impart information that makes learning to dance Tango easy, is unparalleled. The Puglieses run one of the most highly acclaimed Tango Dance Academies in Buenos Aires. All of the top Tango teachers & dancers have gone through training with the Puglieses. It is so exciting to have Pablo back again. Come see why the Puglieses are so admired in the Tango world. Luciana Valle has been a professional partner to Fabian Salas, Daniel Trenner, Chicho, & Gustavo Naveira. She has been an innovator along with those men in the newer, more experimental forms of Tango. However, her initial training is rooted in the study of the older Tango Masters. In other words, she's well-rounded in the teaching of Argentine Tango. Luciana is well versed in English, French and her native Spanish. She has taught in Canada, Brazil, & throughout the U.S. Luciana is well-respected as a teacher, not just by her students but also by her peers, because she is constantly striving to learn more about the Tango. She will energize and strengthen your Tango while showing you the latest techniques. These teachers are SUPERB, you will love them!!! The Workshops have 2 levels of instruction; Intermediate and, Advanced. The teachers will rotate and give their expertise in each level. All levels will emphasize increasing your variety and improving your leading & following skills. Although the class levels are set, the content of the classes will be determined by the teachers. That is why there are no specific titles for the classes. Rest assured, the material will be fun, fabulous and definitely will improve your Tango. Classes will include teaching variations with Ganchos, Arrastres, Paradas, Giros, Ochos, etc. Also, we will spend time working on Vals & Milonga. But again, the teachers will be balancing the material with technique & proper Tango structure. The "COMBO" classes are a unique twist this year. The COMBO Class is for both Intermediate and Advanced levels. The material is pertinent to both levels and is not defined by skill. In other words, we all need to know the techniques taught in these COMBO Classes. Topics covered will include connecting to your partner, leading/following better, floor craft, musical interpretation, changing the embrace and why, and many other pertinent topics. Although the teachers will be covering these topics frequently throughout the other classes these will be topics we don't want anyone to miss because they were signed up for a different level. These COMBO classes will help fuse together all the other material you will be learning in your specific levels. Consider using this guide to help you determine what level of classes you should sign up for. This is just a guide. Call if you have any questions. Register for the Intermediate classes if: You know you aren't ready for Advanced material. You need more technique and variety. You don't feel like a Beginner anymore; you can lead or follow comfortably and have a nice vocabulary of tango that allows you to be somewhat flexible on the dance floor, yet, you aren't quite improvisational. Register for the Advanced classes if: Others have told you are good.; you are progressive in your ideas of Tango; you know a lot, yet you realized how much more there is to learn; your Tango has matured; you contribute to the art of Tango; you understand the connection to the music & your partner is what matters most; improvisation is the name of your dance. **NOTE TO OUT-OF-TOWNERS: We have a special Thanksgiving gathering for you that will make you feel right at home. Please give us a call, or email us for more details. Places to stay for Fiesta de Tango Weekend Here are some places we are recommending.
