Just announced!!! Ernest Williams, who recently performed and taught Cayengue at the Chicago Tango mini-Festival (April 20-22, 2007 www.chicagotangofest.com), has extended his stay in Chicago through May. He will teach a series of 3 classes each in Cayengue and Milonga on Monday evenings at Mariposa (1803 W. Byron, Suite 214, Chicago www.mariposachicago.com) beginning on May 7, 2007. Although it will be most meaningful to take the full progression of classes, drop-ins will be welcome and accommodated. Mondays - May 7th, 14th and 21st: 7:30 – 8:45 p – Social Cayengue: based on the history and structure of this 20th Century pre-cursor to tango, learn the elements and musicality to enjoy dancing Cayengue in 21st Century salons. 8:45 – 10:00 p – Retro into ‘Nuevo’ Milonga: revive the Afro-centric origins of milonga rhythms and movements and play with new concepts adaptable to today’s social dancing (not to be confused w/ ‘nuevo’ style of tango). 10:00 – 11:30 p – Practica: stay to review with Ernest the material covered in the classes. Pricing: Each individual class - $15 (includes practica); both classes in an evening - $25 (also includes practica); all 3 classes in either series - $40 (with pre-registration only, includes practica); practica only - $5. The organizers reserve the right to cancel any classes for which there are less than 8 students, so bring your friends and have fun!!! Ernest is available for private lessons and small group classes in Cayengue, milonga, tango or other Latin dances through the end of May in Chicago. He also is available to travel to other locations for workshops and/or private lessons. It is likely Ernest will be showcasing his Cayengue at Chicago-area milongas – watch for future postings regarding this or contact Ernest for the current schedule.
