The Opposites Attract milonga is rapidly growing, with a wonderful mix of levels! Thank you to those who've attended, or plan on attending! And, this Sunday, Jan. 27 ONLY, there's one less practica in Chicago. We'll be at Cafe Duvall - cozy warm - from 3:00-6:00 p.
Phoebe J. Grant & Jacquline Cahill hostess Opposites Attract – a practica for ALL levels of dancers - 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). If you sign up for a package by this Sunday, any amounts previously paid will be credited toward your package purchase. PayPal is available for packages - contact Phoebe for details. 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. 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.
