Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Tango,
Master teachers Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa will be returning to
Denver, October 8-24, 2002, to continue their work with Intermediate,
Advanced and Professional dancers. We will have two great weekends of
master classes, two very special milongas with Julio and Corina and over a
week of private lessons! In addition to that, it will be Julio and Corina's
first visit to Denver since the release of their new performance video
"Recuerdos de Tango" that illustrates with great precision the technical
and artistic work they have been dancing all over the world and teaching in
their master classes. As always, with your great help, we will have a
wonderful and festive event full of energy, lots of dancing and great tango
learning.
Please read the following information carefully as it contains all the
details regarding this event.
Class Schedule:
All class material will be built on the previous classes. The classes will
begin promptly as scheduled. If you know you need to be late for a class,

As always, the classes will be completely gender balanced. The classes
that will be held at the Arts Project Studio will be open only to 40
dancers, so please register early.
These master classes are not open to beginner dancers. Even though I
encourage dancers to take classes that are more difficult than their
current level, I leave this judgement to you to decide for yourself. I
recommend that if you decide to take a class that you know is of a much
higher level than you are dancing currently, please see if someone that
normally dances with you will partner up with you for that class. This
allows dancers to grow by taking higher level classes without frustrating
other dancers in the class.
The intermediate, advanced and professional dancers are not required to
arrive with a partner. It is our responsibility to make sure that everyone
has a partner when the classes begin. That is why we require advance
registration. Those dancers that do arrive with a partner, such as tango
teachers and performers, are not required to rotate partners, but may do so
whenever they wish.
Cost & Registration Requirements:
The registration deadline is September 17, 2002. To ensure proper gender
balance for the classes, they are open on drop-in basis only to persons who
either arrive with a partner or are able and willing to dance both the lead
and the follow parts . The classes are $25 per person for Int/Advanced
level, $30 for Adv/Prof level, and $225 for the entire two-weekend series,
if pre-registered before September 17, 2002, $30 drop in for Int/Adv, $35
drop in for Adv/Prof. There is a 15% discount offered to students,
professional dancers, dance teachers (including AT) and dancers with more
than 65 years of experience at life and the discount may be applied to the
cost of the entire series as well as to the individual classes.
Please do not wait to register until the last minute. Most of the classes
get full very quickly.
