Dear Tangueros For all of you who inscribed themselves to the Series of Musicality Workshops, this is just to remind you, the next one is Friday, November 3rd! For all of you who missed the first one, you can still sign up for the last two and take advantage of this incredible, one time opportunity to learn from a Master, improve and expand your knowledge, and all to an incredible price!
Conducted by Tango Pianist Octavio Brunetti, (see Bio below) one of the most sought after Tango Pianists in the US, who won the international Tango competition in New York City and has played with various Tango Orchestras in Argentina, Europe and New York for many years, he will share all his knowledge of Tango Music, and together with Tango Instructor Annatina, will take the theory to the practice. This is a one time opportunity for all dancers who like to learn more about the music we love to dance to, and not only improve rhythm and musicality, but also learn to interpret the styles of the different eras. After these workshops you will be able to use the various styles and your dancing will become richer and more distinguished by using all these musical insights. In each workshop we will focus on different orchestras covering various eras. You will learn to recognize and interpret the different styles by special designed listening and practice exercises. The Workshop will contain two parts. In the first part, the Maestro will explain and show on the Piano various rhythms and styles, giving you many insights and you will be participating with clapping exercises, while in the second part we take it to the dance floor where we apply it with special exercises and at the end put it in your own dancing.
