Phoebe, founder of WindyCityTango, Unlimited, will return on Feb.
10 for ‘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
