Tango Workshop with Yvonne Meissner & Eduardo Aguirre at Villa La Rogaia in Umbria, Italy (between Florence and Rome)
April 16 - 23, 2005 www.tango-holidays.com Yvonne Meissner (Amsterdam) & Eduardo Aguirre (Buenos Aires) Tango Apilado - the sensitive embrace Yvonne Meissner (Amsterdam) starts to dance tango in 1987: Tango Fantasia, Tango de Salon (with Pepito Avellaneda, Susanna Miller, Tete y Maria) and Canyengue (with Pocho Pizarro). >From 1995-97 she forms herself with contact improvisation, various techniques of Modern Dance and Alexander-Technique. During the past 6 years she has taught all over Europe and the U.S (e.g. 2000 Ithaca Festival USA) and in Buenos Aires. She partners Eduardo Aguirre since 1999. Eduardo Aguirre (Buenos Aires) is one of the most interesting authentic milongueros of the older generation of Buenos Aires, where he is a member of honour in the most famous milongas like Salon Almagro and others. In 1994 the television channel only dedicated to the trasmission of tango 'Solo Tango' has dedicated a series of interviews on him and didactic lessons on tango de salon. His dance is extremely vivid and includes unexpected changes of direction with staccati that in the next second turns into incredibly soft moves, playing with quick and slow tempi all the time. Yvonne & Eduardo teach the use of the torso and torsion, synchronization of the movement of the couple and interaction between lead and follow resulting in a conversation of bodies. Thus dance becomes the image of a milonguero: dancing tango becomes one heart with four legs. Their speciality are Canaro valses of the early thirties: Rhythm and pauses, turns and staccati become a challenging game between the couple.
