Dear Tango Aficionados, If you knew of an intensive, week-long tango training program in Buenos Aires so high-quality that it generated CONTINUOUS repeat attendance from a growing list of discerning tangueros and tangueras leading some to repeat the program two, three, even four times in three years wouldnt you want to consider participating, to learn what all the excitement is about?
Dance of the Heart is happy to announce that online registration is now available for the TangoIntensivos in Buenos Aires with Luciana Valle this October and November! We're proud to say that we've been working closely with Luciana since 1998, and we've been organizing events for her since 2002. These programs are the culmination of our years of working together on the art of dancing Argentine Tango with style, grace and passion. Luciana's passionate nature is apparent to anyone who meets her! Affectionately known as "Hurricane Lucy", her energetic personality, keen insight, and masterful awareness of tango structure is combined with detailed experience in the in-depth technique of BOTH the leader and follower roles in tango. Her worldwide renown as a teacher was recently enhanced with a feature teaching spot in the annual CITA festival in Buenos Aires this past March. A key element in the success of the TangoIntensivos is the staff we have assembled to be your partners. Luciana's students in Buenos Aires, many of whom are tango teachers in their own right, assist us in providing you with the kind of partnering experience for this material that can be very hard to find among your fellow students. No longer do you have to worry about whether yourpartners will be able to work with the material - all your partners are on staff, so we KNOW what they know! We will have a limited enrollment for the popular "staff partner" option (only 20 student slots available in each session!). This year, we've delayed the advance registration deadline to September 22nd, but we are already getting feedback from those already registered that the best housing options are already getting scarce - so don't delay your planning too much! Some of you have already repeated the standard TangoIntensivo offering (as many as three times!), so we want to make sure you get first chance to repeat again, or to advance your level to the "TangoIntensivo Al Cuadrado" (Intensive Squared!) PROGRAMS: ============ TangoIntensivo "A": October 22-27, 2007 TangoIntensivo "B": October 29-November 3, 2007 NOTE: Because the original "TangoIntensivo" material has expanded beyond the original design, we have divided what was once covered in a single week into "A" and "B" sessions. These are independent sessions, covering different subjects, but addressing the material to students at the same level. For maximum benefit, take both programs, but each program is also designed to stand alone. = * = * = * = Tango Intensivo Al Cuadrado (Intensive "Squared") - Nov. 8-14 This is the "top-of-the-line" offering for TangoIntensivo graduates and other advanced dancers familiar with Luciana's approach (see below). ============= COST: US$595 per program before September 22nd US$650 per program September 23rd or later Includes instruction, practicas, and staff partner for these events. Does not include airfare, lodging, or meals (but we can help you with these after registration, if given enough lead time!) ============= STRUCTURE: Our acclaimed innovative approach to the tango learning experience involves top-level instruction and staff partners trained in Luciana's approach to assist your efforts toward tango mastery. In six days, you will be accompanied in twenty-five hours of lessons and practicas by one of our staff assistants, who hone their skills in the dance hotspots of Buenos Aires and in classes with Luciana and her partners. Some of these assistants are finishing their third year of working with us, so we have managed to form quite a team! ============= Don't delay your registration - we've already got confirmations from several people, some of whom plan on signing up for more than one event! We're determined to insure the quality of these events in the face of growth pressures in order to maintain its high reputation, even though we're forced to limit its size as a result. For complete information, please visit our website at www.danceoftheheart.com and follow the links about "TangoIntensivos with Luciana Valle". Paypal payment by credit card is available on the website to insure fast registration notification for this first-come-first-served set of events. Please note that the most advanced program option, the "Intensivo al Cuadrado", is limited to those of you who have taken the TangoIntensivo before, or for very advanced dancers familiar with Luciana's approach. In general, it is not sufficient to gain entry to the "Al Cuadrado" program merely to have problems in scheduling a trip during the earlier dates of the other programs. Luciana is very protective of the level of this advanced program, and wants to make sure of the skills and preparation of the participants. If you have not already studied at an advanced level with Luciana in her many workshops, this program may not be available to you. Please contact us for eligibility notification if you are not a TangoIntensivo graduate. In the "TangoIntensivo al Cuadrado", Luciana plans to go deeper into all the material already covered, intensifying our ability to bring our current vocabulary to bear when we are improvising. She also plans to share her examinations of the latest ideas currently being explored by the actively innovative dancers in Buenos Aires at places like the acclaimed "El Motivo" practicas.
