Tango From The Heart - Embracing Spring in Charleston, SC Close-Embrace Lead Follow Workshop Weekend Instructors: Teo and Marsha Bartek Creative Spark Center for the Arts 757 Long Point Rd., Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464. Saturday, March 19th, 2005 and Sunday, March 20th, 2005.
*************************************** Why Tango From The Heart? In their research and experimentation with tango Teo and Marsha discovered that to do close-embrace tango it is necessary to hold and move your body in certain ways. These movements are subtle and elusive. Learning them is not purely physical. Because to move in these ways requires an emotional component as well as a physical one. In Teo and Marshas form of instruction, they give a lot of one-on-one instruction, working with the emotional as well as the physical. That is why it is called Tango From The Heart. The goal of the Tango From The Heart workshops is to help you learn how to dance close-embrace tango, freely, creatively and spontaneously. Men, feel confident that you can give every woman a satisfying tango experience. Women, feel comfortable that you can hold your own with any man and create a wonderful experience for the both of you. *************************************** Success in Close-Embrace Tango: Mastery of the Emotional As Well as the Physical, Workshop Schedule: Saturday, March 19th, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------- A. 12:15 1:45PM Adjusting to Close-Embrace Style.
