All, I am starting 6 weeks of classes on Thursday nights starting on September 26th at the Brazilian Cultural Center, 310 Webster Ave, Cambridge.
Please, spread the word. Its looking like I'll have pretty good attendance, but there are plenty of people who are looking for classes and aren't getting the word. Class space is limited, so act quickly and tell your friends. I have posted details at www.tangonow.com. See you on the dance floor, Tom English [email protected] 617-783-5478 ------------------------------------------- 6:30 pm Level I: Entry-level We study the basic techniques required to get you out and onto the dance floor. Your partners will know that you have been focusing on the fundamentals required to keep a comfortable connection with your partner. For those of you who are new to this dance, you should know that the ability to maintain a comfortable connection between you and your partner is what will make you popular on the dance floor. 8:00 pm Level II: Continuing If you are taking this course, then you probably know my teaching style: You will continue to hear the comments that you will hear in your private lessons. You will continue to cleanup your technique so that your partner will stick around for more dances. We will study: walking, ochos, pivots, turns and rock steps. Occassional introduction to Level III techniques such as: stops, drags and sacadas to illustrate how the perfection of your level I and level II techniques will open doors for you. IMPORTANT: In MY own private lessons, I ask my instructor to help me to improve my ability to maintain a great connection with my partner and I ask that it be taught through exercise of walking, ochos, pivots, turns and rock steps. And, I like the rate at which I improve my dancing! So, in MY Level I and Level II classes, expect me to work on improving your techniques and NOT on difficult patterns. Look closely, and you will see that I am NOT doing difficult patterns on the dance floor. I am doing alot on the floor because I am making sure that we are both comfortable. When we are both comfortable, it is so easy to add passionate AND playful musicality to the dance! I will be teaching the follower the technique required to be comfortable and technically correct on the dance floor and I will be teaching the leader the technique required to be sure that the follower is comfortable.
