Yes, that is correct, Carlos Copello (artistic director/producer/choreographer of the stage show Soy tu Tango, one of the actors/dancers in the Tango Lesson, producer of five classic instructional videos, and director/teacher/owner of his own tango school in Buenos Aires) will be teaching three separate master classes at this years Portland ValenTango Feb 16-20, 2006.
Carlos is in demand all over the world and this is a great opportunity to meet and take lessons with one of the most famous tango dancers and teachers of our time. (For more details about Carlos see his web site at: http://www.carloscopello.com/historia1.htm). Here is a schedule of his classes: Sunday Feb 19, 2006: 5:30-7:00 PM Intermediate: Sequences from his performance in the movie The Tango Lesson Monday Feb 20, 2006: 1:00-2:30 PM Intermediate: Close embrace combinations for the dance floor. 3:00-4:30 PM Advanced: Carlos Copellos favorite steps and moves (Also, Carlos will perform Friday evening at the milonga and will attend and be available at the Friday supervised practica 4:30-6:30 PM.) NOTE, these three classes are separate from the regular ValenTango workshops series and the cost is $25/person for each class. (Series pass for all three classes is $65.) Sorry, Ive not yet had time to put this info on my web site. You can pre-register for Copellos classes at the ValenTango registration desk, thru email (VISA, MasterCard, or Discover), mail me a check, or go onto my web site and use paypal (just put in the options box what you are registering for). Hold on, you may be thinking, I cant stay Monday cause I have to get back home for work. Well dont forget that Monday is a holiday in the U.S. (Presidents Day), and also, we have a special Polynesian Dinner Milonga Monday evening to entice you to stay. Hugo Chang (owner of Paradise Ballroom, famous N.W. mushroom dealer and chef extraordinaire (http://www.portlandtribune.com/archview.cgi?id=28222) will be preparing a special menu: roast pig, roasted herb chicken, mushroom soup, sautéed mushrooms, salad, baked portabella mushrooms, rolls, and appetizer. On top of that, Portlands own popular Robert Hauk will be DJing. Sounds like a great tango evening to me and all for just $20. (You can also pre-pay for this event.)
