We have Paulo Araujo back in Chicago for 10 days (Oct. 21-31, 2003) teaching workshops and available for private lessons
Don t miss this opportunity to begin or continue studying with Chicago s favorite visiting instructor of Argentine tango, direct from the World Tango Festival in Buenos Aires (with Graciela Gonzalez) and the Portland TangoFest, enroute to Italy. Paulo Araujo, a native of Rio de Janeiro, began his formal study of tango in 1989 in Buenos Aires with Gustavo Naveira, Graciela Gonzalez (one of his favorite partners - pictured here with whom he teaches in B.A. & Europe), Pepito Avellaneda, Lampazo, Rodolfo and Maria Ciere. Paulo is the founder of the Instituto Brasileiro do Tango in Rio de Janeiro, where he holds a weekly milonga in his studio and has a dance troup. In the book Tango, Uma Paixco Porteqa no Brasil by Ney Homero da Silva Rocha, it is noted: Paulo and Bngela (his partner) have been the most important colaboradors in the growth and development of tango in Rio de Janeiro. Rocha also writes: Paulo associates tango with his own essence of life. The winner of numerous national awards, including Best Tango Teacher in Brazil, Paulo s students call him a brujo because of his wizardry in finding and correcting their individual weaknesses. He concentrates on technique rather than steps and gives ingenious exercises to address problem areas. Energy connection, embrace as a sacred act, and dynamic musicality and creativity within the couple are his hallmarks. See the March 2002 issue of Tango Noticias (www.tangonoticias.com) for an interview with Paulo Araujo. Notice bargain pricing for WCT workshops at Paulo s request to entice you to take more classes!!
