What YOU have been seeking continues 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 or
by signing up at the Cafe). Discount packages for multiple attendances are now
available: $30 for 4 or $35 for 5 (either valid for 2 months) or $55 for 8
(valid for 3 months).
Phoebe, founder of WindyCityTango, Unlimited, will be ‘at foot’ to provide
instruction based on her 8 years of dedicated & exclusive study of Argentine
Tango with world-reknown instructors in Buenos Aires and throughout the US. A
seasoned tanguera, she is adept with initiating basic beginners to perfecting
performing professionals.
Sunday, Jan. 20 is a perfect afternoon to join us for the Opposites Attract
practica at Café Duvall … Not only has pre-registration already doubledd vs.
the premier practica, but also - for the final week - Tango Reaction’s Sunday
(and Wednesday) milongas (hosted by Somer Surgit & Agape Pappas) will be danced
at American Tango Institute. ATI (325 N. Hoyne at Carroll St.) is in proximity
to Café Duvall. For information on Somer & Agape’s milongas, visit
www.tangoreaction.com, write [email protected] or call 773-807-5704.
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 - including vegetarian options. (Also, a TV will be on
available to keep tabs on your favorite sports team …) No more
hunting for a parking spot! Parking is available for YOU a half
block west of the Cafe in the De La Cruz Math & Science Academy
Parking Lot on 23rd Place. For a map to Café Duvall (just E of
Oakley St. which is 1 block E of Western Ave. and 3 short blocks
S of Cermak Ave. (22nd St.).
