Please join us for a fun filled weekend of tango! -The Memphis Argentine Tango Society
____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Argentine Tango Workshop with Barbara Durr in Memphis, TN Sept. 24-25, 2005 Barbara Durr has studied and danced tango extensively in Buenos Aires over the last ten years. She has accepted invitations to teach in Mt. Vernon, MO, New York, Denver, Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis, and Portland, to only name a few. Her goal in teaching is to get you rapidly onto the dance floor to enjoy this creative and passionate dance. Barbara teaches the strictly social "Milonguero," or very close embrace style of tango - the body-to-body style that is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. Barbara particularly emphasizes the connection between partners and musicality by using compact choreography and a rich, subtle form of body language. When it comes to technique, Barbara is absolutely among the best of the best! -by Karen Whitesell, Mt.
