Dear Tango Aficionados, There are a lot of tango events to choose from, and only so much time and money to go around. As you decide how to invest your limited resources for tango, wouldn't it be good to investigate a week-long program so high-quality that its customers have repeatedly returned to Buenos Aires to stay with the program two, three, or even FOUR times in only two years? (That's two, three or four SEPARATE round-trip flights to Buenos Aires, just to make the stakes clear!) What kind of program produces that kind of loyalty from discerning tango aficionados? Here's your chance to find out, before it fills up again!
Dance of the Heart is happy to announce that online registration through PayPal is now available for the Tango Intensivos in Buenos Aires with Luciana Valle in February/March 2007! Were again limiting enrollment for this round, due to the shortage of qualified staff partners, so visit www.danceoftheheart.com and secure your place as soon as you can. (For the curious, class photos from our sessions in October/November 2006 are also online, along with customer comments that may shed some light on this unusually high retention rate!) Our programs feature the brilliant teaching of LUCIANA VALLE, a peerless master of the underlying structure of tango, from both the leader's and follower's perspective. Affectionately known as "Hurricane Lucy" because of her high-energy teaching style, she was an early pioneer with Gustavo Naveira, Fabian Salas, and "Chicho" Frumboli in the "Tango Investigation Group" at Cochabamba 444 that created the contemporary framework for understanding the structure of tango. Her penetrating analysis and deep understanding of these core ideas is reflected both in her peerless teaching style, in her insightful ability to rapidly clarify the tango of her students, and in her own luminously radiant social tango dancing. Over the last decade she has built a reputation in Buenos Aires, in the United States, in Europe, and throughout the tango world for clear, powerful presentation of tango in a warm and engaging style. The partners you will be working with have been chosen by Luciana from among her many students to provide the kind of partnering you'll need to be able to progress through this material as fast as possible. Luciana's advanced classes in Buenos Aires, and her acclaimed Monday night "El Motivo" practicas at Villa Malcolm, serve as a primary source for us in finding our talented young staff (see class pictures at www.danceoftheheart.com ). Due to the increasing demand, we are segmenting our offerings into two separate sessions, both at a similar level: Intensivo I Feb. 19-24, 2007 $595 before January 15th, $650 later (if available) For those with a comfortable fluency with dancing the basics, and who want to move beyond conventional workshops and festival classes through sustained intense work with a great staff under a brilliant teacher. A 25-hour program over six days (half-day midweek) incorporating lessons and practicas dancing exclusively with our staff partners. Intensivo II Feb. 26March 3, 2007 $595 before January 15th, $650 later (if available) A different program than Intensivo(tm) I, with different material in a similar structure, but requiring a similar level of proficiency to Intensivo(tm) I: a 25-hour program over six days (half-day midweek) incorporating lessons and practicas dancing exclusively with our staff partners. For those of you who have taken one of our previous Intensivos(tm) already: Taken together, these programs include much more material than any of the previous one-week programs at this level. Except for those of you who took the "Intensivo Al Cuadrado" last month, you'd repeat material at a level similar to the level of the program you're familiar with. More advanced programs that will be introduced later this year will require BOTH these programs as a prerequisite, so if you're aiming for those programs, be sure to take at least Intensivo II. SPECIAL: ATTEND BOTH AND SAVE! $1145 for both programs by January 15th, $1250 later (if available) SPECIAL DEAL FOR ORGANIZERS Bring a minimum of five new people from your community to one or more of our Intensivo programs and receive up to a $500 discount on your own registration! Just let us know their names, and have them mention you during their registration. Dont delay your registration weve already got registrations from several people, ALL of whom are signing up for BOTH programs! For complete information, please visit our website at www.danceoftheheart.com and click on Tango Intensivos. Paypal payment by credit card is available on the website to insure fast registration notification for this first-come-first-served set of events. Your purchase includes the classes and practicas with staff - airfare, lodging, and meals are your responsibility (although we can help you make some decisions with these!). Dont miss these opportunities to study with a brilliant teacher, work with great partners, and share the sights, sounds and feelings of the home of tango with a vibrantly enthusiastic group of fellow tango dancers! If you have any questions about the programs, please don't hesitate to contact us. On the other hand, if you know you can't join us this time, but want to stay informed about the programs we're planning for May/June and October/November 2007, contact us and we'll put you on the list - those who express interest are offered first-access notification of programs as their registration opens up. We look forward to hearing from you ASAP!
