What YOU have been seeking premiers Sunday, January 13, 2008 – an informal, friendly place to practice and improve YOUR Argentine tango.
Phoebe J. Grant & Jacquline Cahill hostess "Opposites Attract" - a practica - between 3:00-6:00 p at Café Duvall (2257 W 23rd Place, Chicago, 60608) on this and each Sunday going forward. Cover for the 3 hour practica is $10 per person (or $8 with advance reservation prior to 12:00 noon on the day of the practica with either Phoebe or Jacqui); discount packages for multiple attendances will be announced. Opposities Attract is intended for ALL levels - basic beginners to performing professionals, with expert guidance - for ALL levels, readily available if requested. Opposites Attract is designed to enable YOU to improve YOUR technique and confidence for social dancing of Argentine tango. A partner is NOT required, altho’ YOU may come and/or practice with a particular person. There will NOT be an organized class but there will be instruction available at YOUR request. Opposites Attract will provide a non-gender specific friendly environment (i.e., men and women each may either lead or follow), but of course YOU are welcome to maintain traditional roles. Opposites Attract … as in “Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars”© but the two entwine in the embrace of Argentine Tango. Music (clean, fresh orchestrations primarily of traditional compositions plus a ‘musicality’ selection) will be played in longer sets of tango, vals & milonga songs rather than in tanda/cortina format to enable concentration of effort for each particular style. Café Duvall (773-376-8760) features Lavazza coffees and other beverages as well as a limited light menu of excellent and inexpensive food. (Also, a TV will be on available to keep tabs on your favorite sports team …) No more hunting for a parking spot!
