(Web link: http://www.danceoftheheart.com/visitor.htm) Dear Tango Friends, Are you longing to improve your tango in a permanent and powerful way? Are you tired of not being able to dance with "the good dancers?" Do you want to focus your tango training with one world-class instructor for an intensive period of instruction? Do you want to move beyond simple step vocabulary into an integral exploration of the many facets of the tango dance experience? Do you want to share with an exciting group of new partners "the milonga experience" of Buenos Aires, a group who also shares a common orientation towards improving their tango? LUCIANA VALLE and Dance of the Heart (Brian Dunn & Deborah Sclar) are inviting you on a very special tango experience in Buenos Aires in October 2005! We are looking for a special group of dancers who want to pursue tango mastery in a new and different way. Join us for six days of intensive study in Buenos Aires. Work intensively on your tango with a gender-balanced group of fellow students under the guidance and direction of world-class tango teacher LUCIANA VALLE, one of the most talented, insightful and energetic tango teachers Buenos Aires has produced. Our fellow students form the inaugural session this March said things like: "I've taken intensive tango workshops all over the world from all the best.this was the absolute best workshop experience I've ever had!" Many of those are already accompanying us on this second edition of the Intensivo, along with many who were unable to accompany us last time. We think you too will enjoy meeting and dancing with other tango aficionados from around the world who value Luciana's powerful and engaging approach to exploring the tango. Dates: Monday, October 24 - Saturday October 29, 2005 Duration: 20 hours of classes, four hours a day, five days a week, with additional daily warm-ups.

Come with your partner, find a partner through our partner matching service, or let us arrange for you an "assistant" partner to accompany you during workshops from among the many talented young Argentine dancers working with Luciana in Buenos Aires. Luciana is one of the partners in the acclaimed "El Motivo" practica (Cordoba 5064 on Monday evenings), whose low admission price, spacious accommodations, and high dancing level draws a hundred or more of the most talented young dancers in Buenos Aires every week. Luciana is justly famous around the world for teaching tango in a clear, powerful and energetic style. Many very experienced tango dancers with years of study from many professional teachers rank their private-lesson training with Luciana as the best they can get from anyone. Skilled as both a leader and a follower, and widely experienced in the milongas of Buenos Aires, she was an early participant in the "Cochabamba 444" training sessions with Gustavo Naveira and Fabian Salas that produced the "Nuevo Tango" language now in common usage to teach tango. As a brilliant and inspired interpreter of these core ideas, Luciana has gained intercontinental fame for her fantastic high-energy classes, as well as for her impressive and memorable tango performances with Alex Krebs of Portland, Oregon. Brian Dunn and Deborah Sclar have been working closely with Luciana since 1998. They have sponsored her visits to Colorado for the last four years, and have performed with her on several occasions in Colorado. They are well-known and successful full-time tango teachers in Colorado, sponsoring hundreds of classes, events and performances for thousands of participants since 1999. They share a devotion to teaching tango in an integral fashion, focusing first on the intimate connection between partners, and the full possibilities of tango dancing as a "collaborative work of art" in a heart-to-heart embrace. They recently returned from their second tour of Scandinavia, teaching, performing and DJing in Denmark and Sweden.
