Dear Tango Aficionados, In the darkness of winter, it's comforting to think of just how easy it could be to head south - WAY south - where it's still summer, where they play tango in the taxis, and where an opportunity awaits you to jump-start your OWN tango to the next level - with our TangoIntensivo(tm) sessions in February, being held simultaneously with the Ninth Annual Buenos Aires Tango Festival!
Now in its third year, the TangoIntensivos(tm) have earned an enviable reputation for quality and return business. Luciana has split the first program into two groups of topics, Intensivo I and Intensivo II, to be able to investigate more material at the same level, and to effectively lay the training groundwork for those looking for a systematic approach to advanced tango training at an even higher level. TOPICS DESCRIPTION FOR INTENSIVOS I AND II NOW ON WEBSITE Visit the website at www.danceoftheheart.com for a breakdown on what the first two Intensivos will cover. These two programs are taught at the same level - aimed at those who are comfortable with the basics, but who want to take their tango to the next level through an intensive program with a brilliant teacher and a talented dedicated staff of dancers to partner you. Luciana Valle (www.lucianavalle.com) is justly famous worldwide for her clear and powerful teaching in a warm and engaging style. Master of both leading and following roles, a gorgeous improvisational social dancer and a peerless technician of the structure and technique of the dance, the intensity and comprehensiveness of her tango mastery is the cornerstone of these programs. She handpicks the partners you'll dance with, our TangoIntensivo(tm) Assistants, from among her students in Buenos Aires. TAKE EITHER PROGRAM - OR BOTH! The two programs can be taken individually in any order, but most people in the program currently signed up are taking BOTH programs! Once you've taken both, either now or later, you have all the training you'd need to take the Intensivo Al Cuadrado programs this fall, which are at the cutting edge of tango structure and technique. WHATEVER YOUR STYLE... Some of our most enthusiastic supporters (and most successful recruiters of new students) are self-described milongueros in style preference - one is even an organizer of a successful milonguero festival in the USA! They know from experience with this program that the intense and focused re-examination of structure and technique provided by our Intensivos(tm) empowers and enhances their favorite tango social dance style. By "stretching their envelope" outside their comfort zone in a supportive environment with a warm and dedicated staff genuinely interested in their progress, in a short period of intense work they can really open the doors to a new level of mastery in their tango. CLASS SIZE STRICTLY LIMITED To insure that you're given the best chance to improve rapidly, and that you get the most benefit from dancing with our talented staff, we've strictly limited the program to a maximum of 20 students, first come first served. A WELL-EARNED REPUTATION FOR QUALITY Our students not only enjoy themselves and the challenges we present them, but they keep coming back - and bringing their friends! At the start of our third year, we've had six programs already, and some people have returned for second, third or even FOURTH helpings at the "TangoIntensivo Buffet!" ENJOY THE MUPTIPLE TANGO DELIGHTS OF THE BUENOS AIRES TANGO FESTIVAL! As in past years, your time spent with us during the day is enhanced by the incredible range of evening and nighttime tango cultural events put on by the City of Buenos Aires in its annual Tango Festival, now in its ninth year. The festival runs from February 24 through March 4, so attendees of both programs can join in. DATES: Intensivo I: February 19-24, 2007 Intensivo II: February 26-March 3, 2007 DURATION Each program is 25 hours long: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are 5 hours each. Wednesday and Saturday are half days of 2.5 hours each. On a regular day, we start around 11 and finish around 5:30 or 6pm, including a break for lunch and an afternoon breather. COST The programs are US$650 each, or can be combined for US$1250. Airfare, meals and lodging are extra, but we have extensive experience on what has worked for our customers in the past. Credit card payment available on our website. After you register, we're happy to provide you with the benefits of our experience.
