Dance of the Heart (Boulder, Colorado) Presents a Tango "Improvisation Intensive":
Brigitta Winkler Introduces Mauricio Castro to Colorado! October 1st-6th, 2003 Mauricio Castro is an internationally recognized pioneer in new ways of teaching and understanding tango. Mauricio is the founder of a group of young tango teachers, 'Tango Discovery.' (www.tangodiscovery.com ). With his books and CD ROMs for learning tango, he is in the vanguard of a new generation of tango teachers that bring true innovation to the way tango is taught. With their new concepts, they are revitalizing the Buenos Aires tango scene among the current generation of dancers. Brigitta Winkler (www.brigittatango.de) needs no introduction for many of you! Delightful, saucy, innovative, and a charmingly gifted teacher, social dancer, choreographer and performer, she pioneered the vibrant Berlin tango scene and has been dancing tango since 1980! Her innovative blend of Body-Mind Centering with tango, plus her international success with her touring show, Tango Mujer, provides a fantastic counterpart to Mauricio's work. She has worked with him in Berlin, and her years of enthusiastic recommendation of Mauricio's work led Dance of the Heart to sponsor this introductory series. We are very excited to be hosting this innovative teaching team. The main focus of the workshops is on IMPROVISATION. Drawing upon their long experience, Mauricio and Brigitta have perfected teaching approaches to maximize the "habit of improvisation" for both leader and follower and bring their dance to a new creative level. We're fortunate to be able to explore these techniques with them in six days of lessons, practicas and milongas during our Colorado "Improvisation Intensive" workshop series.
