Tango Holidays Fall 2004 At Villa La Rogaia in Umbria, Italy (between Florence and Rome)
www.tango-holidays.com September 18 - 25, 2004 Alberto Paz & Valorie Hart There is still availability for one more couple and a single gentleman. Aberto grew up in the streets of Buenos Aires, became a successful businessman in California over a thirty year period and got the call of the tango twelve years ago under the inspiration and tutelage of Eduardo Arquimbau, Carlos Copello, Orlando Paiva and the late Rodolfo Cieri. In 1997 he travelled to Buenos Aires and become one of a handful of disciples of legendary grand master of tango Mingo Pugliese. Valorie was born in the Midwest, grew up and had a successful career as an internationally recognized event designer in New York before being drawn to tango. As an artist she possesses a natural sensitivity for the Argentine Tango, the music, the dance and its culture. Graciela Gonzalez was her first mentor. Esther Pugliese contributed greatly to her formation in the authentic Argentine style of dancing, and she developed a unique quality for dancing and teaching alongside Alberto. Together they have given master classes, lectures and workshops in cities across America. They are at the top of their form as master teachers teaching and practicing the traditional and authentic concept of improvisation. Gustavo Naveira has called Alberto "an old milonguero with a modern mindset for the dance." Mingo Pugliese said, "Alberto possesses one of the most impressive powers of improvisation in the world." Alberto and Valorie encourage dancers of all levels and all ages to explore the possibilities of dancing with freedom on the spur of the moment, with confidence and an educated understanding of the music and structure of the dance. For that, they bring years of research, experience and actual results applied to their widely recognized clear and fair methodology for teaching the core concepts of the structure of the dance. WORKSHOP CONTENTS at La Rogaia - the TOOLS for successful improvisation (clockwise and counterclockwise trajectories, changes of front, changes of direction) - the CODE of the tango (turns/giros with displacements/sacadas and enrosques) - the traditional and modern ways to BREAK the code without breaking the rules. Challenging, but rewarding.
